MY LIFE - JANUARY

Tuesday, January 23, 2001

I really need to learn how to say no someday. Otherwise, I'll end up working every day of the week for the rest of my life. I know we're short and all, but I don't know when I'll have a two day break ever again up until I use a vacation.

Once I saw my store's number in my caller id, I knew what it was too. I called and said I'd work from 6pm until 12am, but I really didn't want to. I still had laundry to finish and more cleaning to do, but now that will have to wait until at least Friday before I get another chance to do something like that. I figured it would serve me best if I continue to show them that I'm willing to work a little extra, even if I don't want to.

I ended up staying until 11pm because Paul said he'd stay until midnight. This entries going to be really short because I'm tired and I have to work the rest of the week. Besides, everything I really wanted to talk about, I mentioned yesterday. If there's anything else, it will probably show up tomorrow or Thursday. I don't know yet. And I know I didn't do anything with "Monday Moaning" like I keep intending to.

Let's face it. I wasn't very impressed with the complaints yesterday in the paper and felt no need to really get into that. The mood of the entry wasn't fitting anyway. So maybe I'll mention them later this week or something. Again, who really knows.

It was fairly busy early on, but it did eventually slow down. I started off ringing, but somehow ended up typing. We dealt with a lot of rude customers though, most of them not believing what I was telling them. I had one customer who insisted that there was a strength on one of the scripts he dropped off when there really wasn't. I had to explain to someone that we didn't charge them their copay, that we were just charging what the insurance company told us to collect.

So it was kind of frustrating and I spent much of the night asking everyone why I ever agreed to come in. I already knew the answer, but I just kept asking anyway. I'm sure it was obnoxious, but I didn't really care.

Sorry this isn't longer though. I just don't have much to say right now. I think it's time for bed.
