2nd Day of Work Experience

Today was much easier, especially as I actually now know my way around the Medicine Section.

I’ve started to notice random stuff. Like the music that’s playing on the speakers. It appears to be covers of popular pop songs. It doesn’t sound like the original artists, though the backing track hasn’t changed. Plus, the singing goes quite out of tune sometimes, I’m against shameless use of auto tune, especially live, but when the singing is like that?

I kind of worry about subliminal messages too. They’ve accidentally covered the P in Pharmacy, and so now it says Harmacy. But I notice little things like that

Work Experience and Glasses

So today I started my work experience, working in the pharmacy and medical section of the local drugstore. I was feeling rather pessimistic about it, suddenly thinking that I won’t actually learn that much about being a pharmacist as I’m not actually allowed to go ‘where the magic happens’ and handle the prescriptions.

But needless to say, I think that I’ve still learnt quite a bit, and after all the stocking of the shelves I know my way around the medicine section like the back of my hand

It sounds sad, but I didn’t thoroughly enjoy all my breaks. There was nothing to do but sit in the staff room drinking tea and reading the Argos catalogue they randomly had on the table. It was much more interesting and relaxing to be putting out the products.

There were of course some low points, like the fact that I have to also stock the condom section. And I see worried couples scurry in, grab a pregnancy test, and scurry back out. There was also a guy who (I think) told me off for having a confused look on my face when he asked for a product that I didn’t know and couldn’t fully understand because of his thick accent. But ahwell..

I’m also getting new glasses…
