It has been another couple years since I have posted anything. This is a really interesting idea I had back in my college years and it is a neat way to see myself grow.
Since last post, I am now a licensed pharmacist and looking to start my life fully soon and my relationship with my girlfriend is something I would not trade for anything. I do have to say that my outlook on life has not changed much in these few short years of life; but then again that is just me thinking right now. I am listening to music right now so my thoughts might not be the most orderly, but then nothing in this entire blog is orderly other than that it is chronological.
I will make a few quick comments on my initial thoughts about being a pharmacist. I will say I do for sure enjoy doing what I do, not that it is difficult at all - if anything it is just stressful at times due to the amount of work that needs to be done. This work is not physically or mentally strenuous in itself, but the sheer volume makes it seem that way. I suppose the most difficult part is being able to give the same amount of attention and care to each prescription I verify. I never want to make a mistake, but statistically I will make at least 2-3 per day (from a statistic I read on Pharmacist's Letter recently) which is never an encouraging piece of information - seeing as how a mistake could mean real harm to someone. Something I do not particularly enjoy about working, and this could probably be applied to so many different jobs, is how regulated the simplest, most minute, and seemingly common sense tasks or whatever is are just regulated so stupidly. I won't go into specifics but there is just so much garbage that should not ever need to be told to people because they should just be able to know it. I feel like a complete jerk whenever I think these things because I know I am very smart compared to most people in the world that I deal with - coming across cocky and arrogant but I don't know how else to put it - and I just don't understand how so many people don't know what seems to be the most simple aspects of life and it just bothers me a lot sometimes. One of the most frustrating things for me about working with the public is being able to understand what they understand or how they think and being able to relate to that. I really sound like a dick right now but, hey, I guess that's me. Anyone who works in a service industry job will understand how frustrating people can be. It is quite surprising at first and then it gets stagnant and then you get surprised every once in awhile. Now this is only after working for about six months or so. Not sure what that means. I am always open to changing my position in the future as I always thought I would be working in a hospital. I am truly happy where I am mainly because of the great technicians I am blessed to work with each day. Every day is something to look forward to with them and I don't know if I would like working with young people my age or not. I think that's enough talk about this.
I came back to this page this late night because I was just looking to browse the web for some bs stories or funny memes but I remembered this and I figured I might as well just revisit to see what has changed. Weebly sure has made their site so so so much nicer and easier to user (user friendly) since just two years ago - as they should. But still I am impressed and am glad I came back to check it out. I will have to continue to write. I realize this isn't really a blog in the sense most people think but that's why it's mine.
Got a Nintendo Switch the other day and I had a good time with my buddy Matt the other night learning the games. It really is amazing to me what they can do with technology. I will continue to reap the benefits of technology while I can - even though just today at work I was saying how I would love to go back and live one hundred or more years ago when telephones and tv didn't exists - and stupid people didn't have a voice that could reach millions of people with the push of a button.
Oh the politics. I don't want to pretend that I know what is going on with President Trump or any of this policies or even that I knew what Obama was doing with all of his actions, but it is so crazy how much fighting between Americans is going on just about how good or bad Trump is, instead of talking about the issues or anything constructive. Riots and just a bunch of complete bull shit that people do every day just makes what my father told me resonate with me even more: "I am sorry that I brought you into this world". Reason being that the entire world is so fucked up compared to just 40 years ago, my words not his. And I agree 100% because back when everybody just could talk to those within walking distance life was so simple. And in my opinion we were better off then, even if we had more disease and sickness and shorter lives and everything less than what is now, we don't need that at all. But the nature of human race is to always be progressing and improving which creates a very scary reality of the mindset that we must strive for the greatest and the best possible otherwise we are wasting our time on this planet. Really we are missing the whole point. Life is about living and loving those we love and sharing that love - we could literally all do nothing and just reproduce and live and die and just get along with nature and be "primitive" again but not destroy the entire planet so quickly.
I really have touched on so many controversial points and not expanded on any, but I don't really need to because nothing I say or do will change anyone's mind every. My goal in life is to simply be happy and make those around me happy. No need to be an asshole ever.
Fatigue is taking me.
Until next time, it is always a pleasure writing these. I hope someone reads this sometime in the future and understands how soothing just writing whatever you feel is. Goodnight.
