an update

i’ve been relatively quiet the last week or so since i’ve been busy with work and scrambling to get my ducks in a row for taking vacation last weekend and again this weekend to go camping with my family. i need to build my queue back up to make it to tuesday, write up the weekly muse posts, and schedule the tomes and tea reminders. last week my queue was good, i was half prepared for weekly muse, and i ran out of time to schedule tomes and tea. hopefully i can do better this week lol.

i’ve been working my way through my reread of windwitch and i am SO CLOSE TO FINISHING. i’m in those last 50 pages of the book where everything is going fast and it’s HARD to put down the book. i’m also not remembering like any of these events and twists until they happen. makes me really damn happy i reread these books before jumping into bloodwitch. still trying to decide if i want to read sightwitch before bloodwitch or not. i did check it out from libby in audio, so maybe i’ll read both at the same time?? i paused my playthrough of platinum due to the constant freezing and i’ll likely try buying another copy as disappointing as it is. i’ve returned to my playthrough of white and am working on the post game. it would be really good to play while listening to sightwitch.

i’m also thinking i want to participate in the medieval-a-thon but it’s been a challenge to try to shoe-horn my tbr into the challenges lmao

things at the pharmacy are... fine. we are still only being allowed two pharmacists meaning they are the only pharmacist from open to close technically they shouldn’t even leave the pharmacy to use the restroom or buy food per law, so they do not get to take proper breaks or lunches. absolute bullshit and reason #934 why i do not care for this company, but what else is new to this corporate capitalist shitshow? the company appointed an intern who was taking his tests in may to be our pharmacy manager, but his license still hasn’t been approved by the board. our pharmacist float has been traded out and their hours have been dropped also. the new float is also a baby faced new pharmacist though he actually has his license lol. our tech hours have been cut again. luckily for me the pharmacy manager is making a point of getting everyone their hours instead of just cutting. he has been sending our full-timers to another location. one of the techs was out for nearly two weeks for a virus that left her without a voice and then was out for a scheduled surgery for about three weeks and she is FINALLY back. usual petty drama continues, but luckily it is p mild. mostly we are able to handle patient demand and have far less issues causing frustration. i’ve also come to understand this is basically how all pharmacies are. my first pharmacy was an outlier and they have gone under, so while i was originally aiming to get my certification and this be my back up career, i am no longer sure i want to go that route.

library programming was going well for june until the confusion that was last week’s craft night due to the new reminder system and the summer hours time change. i’m vaguely concerned about attendance for this slightly last minute paint night going this evening, but overall feel confident it’ll be fine. there’s a lot i SHOULD be doing and i almost shouldn’t be using vacation time, but by that logic there is ALWAYS shit i SHOULD be doing and basically no opportunities to use my vacation. i just need some chances to not worry about this job so i can come back to it fresh and ready to dig into it. i’ve been researching volunteer management software - of course the one i like the most so far is also around $400 a year ugh - test the software to see how it runs. i have some new volunteers to reach out to and to line up with volunteer opportunities. i need to start planning a craft night i plan to change this fall and the december drop in event needs to be chosen and planned. next year’s craft series needs work and planning and i need to better plan the crafts to use up extra funding for this year. i have a couple of things i said i would do for the after school program that is currently on hiatus over the summer. the monthly report is just around the corner again. and i know there are things not on here. this job is stressful and while i get good things out of it most of the time i don’t feel the positive outweighs the negative. the only reason i keep at it is that 1) i wish to leave this position better than i got it and 2) the pay is worth it. i just heckin wish it was full time or close enough to full time i didn’t need a second job.
