@cowboy sam Thank you!  You guys just overwhelm me sometimes.

@Laura14 

your very welcome...

for today..

how about a long walk , and look for flowers blooming,listen to see how many different birds sounds you hear,and look up at the sky...is the sunshining or not...it doesn't matter...and breathe deeply  and let everything out....

or 

do something you really enjoy later  your book writing,call a friend you haven't talked to for a while...

enjoy your day

These are stressful times @Laura14 so don't feel you have to step back from your thread. Whatever you do, it's your decision alone. Good luck.

@cowboy sam I just came back from the grocery store.    People have lost their minds!!  I am taking my mom back now so she can have some entertainment today too.  Wild!  

You and I have a date for a walk together soon.  If I didn't have company I'd be at the park hiking.

@deepwaterdotter Nope.  I let them know I would love to work for them but I needed an answer about my current job first because they were only offering part time.

If they have any interest in really having me and, supposedly they are desperate for techs, they'll muster up the enthusiasm they should have about having someone already trained, certified and experienced knock on their door.  It doesn't happen and I realized that really, really bothered me.  

If they want me, they'll reach back out.  If not, I'm not ready to give up on finding a location that really would appreciate having me.

This post made me reflect on my experience as an employee.  I realize that I never considered if my employer "mustered up enthusiam" at my hiring.  I never cared if my employer "appreciated having me" as part of their workforce, only that they found my work worthy of remuneration.  I now realize that the standards for workplace enrichment in today's environment have changed since I was an employee.  I'm an 'old dog', who is watching my juniors' 'new tricks'.

Full time opportunities are limited in a retail setting. Do you have hospitals around you? I think full time would be much more of an option there.

@pigletsmom My BIL is an anesthesiologist.  He can get me in but it's PT overnights.   Great thought though!

I'd give a hospital position some serious thought, @Laura14.  Are the benefits better than what the current unstable job or the other pharmacy offers?  I'd bet you could get a different shift as you gain a foothold there.

@tansy I'm not completely dismissing it but I'm not a natural night owl.  It would be tough.
