This post has nothing to do with horror.

I have worked over half my life in a small independant pharmacy.  I started out cleaning the parking lot for the guy in high school.  I have always worked for that small little dingy store at some point in my life.  I worked my way up to be lead technician of the pharmacy/manager.  I was the only employee who was qualified to open and close the store.

Well we were bought out by a major coporation the store was starting to struggle due to jackhole 3rd party ins companies taking 40 to 90 days to pay us while we were on a 30 schedule with our suppliers.

My first taste of the coporate world has totally jaded me.  It has taken a job that I loved and was good at and made me hate it, yesterday was the final straw.  I was given a "choice"  I could volunteer to be transfered to a new locatiion almost 15 miles away and my work shcedule would completely change or the other guy who came over to this store with me in the buy out could go.  I could choose to stay and my work schedule would change also so stay and have my schedule change and be an ass for letting the other guy go or drive an extra 15 miles and still have my schedule change.  So either go and everything change or stay and everything change......what a thing to volunteer for!  I am now actively seeking employment elsewhere.  The funny thing is though when I leave, probably 40% my old customers from the old drug store are gonna go elsewhere also, I have been told many times that if it wasnt for me they would be going to other pharmacies.

Sorry about this I just wanted to rant again.......

now back to our regularly scheduled mayhem...........
