I've found a local pharmacy to do my training. I love the work, but I'm not so sure about the pharmacist. I am learning a lot from him, but he sure does like to toot his own horn. Can you say narcissistic? Every time I turn around he is saying how nobody can get anything past him and how he is sooooo smart. Yes, he is smart. Genius even, but it gets really annoying listening to him tell me just how smart he is.

Like I said, I am learning a lot though. Last Saturday, he taught me how to compound some drugs. Totally interesting and fun. Especially since he left me to do the work on my own. I could get completely lost in my work if all I did all day was compound drugs. The fact that this is the only pharmacy in the county that does it's own compounding was one reason I wanted to train at this pharmacy.

I'm not getting paid for my training, but I can accept that for now. I don't think I would accept a paid position with this pharmacist if it was offered. I train 3 days a week, about 9 hours a day, so I should have all of my training hours in about 7 weeks. Then, I can take my certification test and submit the information for my license. Once I am certified I can work anywhere in the country. I have always wanted to go to Colorado, so maybe I will check out job options down there. We'll see what happens in the next few weeks.

Since I'm not getting paid for my training hours, I talked to my sister about a job at her hotel. She is the general manager for the local Comfort Inn and Suites. She put me on in house keeping. Not exactly glamorous, but it's gas money until I finish my training and get certified. I won't have to mooch off of my mom anymore for money. That makes me happy and I'm sure it makes her happy as well.
