GOOD NEWS 2: ELECTRIC BOOGALOO
3 years ago
So. Remember back in May, I was super excited about a new job?
It was going great, until I got covid again.
As you can imagine, being in a pharmacy and having covid is Dangerous. I didn't want to kill any elderly patients and we had a lot of them. But because I took a chunk of time off to recover during my probation period, I was let go very unceremoniously. I don't think the area manager wanted me there anyway, she seemed to take a lot of joy watching me cry about it after saying "do you need a moment".
I was devastated. I was absolutely heartbroken and humiliated.
I took some time to mentally recover, then started looking for jobs again. I knew I didn't want to go back to working in a supermarket, I'll never do that again. So it was a hunt for dispensing jobs again. I got an interview earlier this month but didn't get the job, I understood why. Pharmacies during winter holidays are extremely busy, they needed someone with more experience and who didn't have to be trained to use their Rx software.
But this morning, I got a call from that pharmacy saying "we want to offer you a job, it's the exact same as the position you applied for". So whoever the original choice was must have either been a bad fit or generally fell through.
I accepted it Immediately, now just waiting on some calls from their HR to secure some details.
I am beyond happy, I was so broken down over what happened. It felt like the escape I was begging for got ripped away from me. I fell in love with that job, I felt like I was really helping people and learning new skills. I knew that even if I did decide to jump ship from that branch, it would be still for pharmacy work I'd go into afterwards.
It's more hours and better pay too (not A Lot but more than minimum which is what the old place was paying). It's Exactly what I need
