CXVI : At Work

Yesterday, I met up with my co for New Member Coordinator because he wanted help working on the pamphlet about our fraternity. For someone who is a dual degree in business and pharmacy, he is much different from the type of business people I have in mind. I would like business people are strict on being punctual, on meeting deadlines, and on finishing work on their own. Maybe it's because he doesn't get as stressed out about having things prepared well ahead of time as I do, so he's so laid back about finishing things until the last minute. Who knows. Luckily, we were able to finish the pamphlet yesterday, which we need 200 copies of for later today. We got the 200 copies yesterday around 5pm. And we have to attach each one of them to our little goodies to the first years, which are two-sided mini pens that I found with my friend. I was afraid we were going to have to meet up super early this morning to finish putting them together because I had evening shift yesterday and didn't get off work until 11:30pm. Little did I know, my co was finally proving himself responsible! I get a text around 4am saying "I finished putting them together!" He has redeemed himself pretty well this time.

Anyway, what I wanted to record was my time at work. Because I had met up with my co on campus in the afternoon before I went to work, I had to prepare all my work clothes and items in my car so I could go straight to work. I was so glad that we finished on time so I could eat lunch and then drive to work with time to nap too. When I got to my workplace, I quickly changed into my scrubs in the back seat of my car, and then took a good 20 minute nap. Completely passed out. But in the back of my mind, I felt like something was wrong, I just didn't know what. I even put my feet up to feel more comfortable to nap. When I woke up a minute before my alarm rang, I realized instantly, "OH SHOOT!!! I'm wearing my sandals!" Abruptly coming to my senses, I strongly wished that I had hidden at least a pair of socks somewhere in my car since I knew I didn't bring my walking shoes at all. Of course I didn't have socks in my car! So I walked to the satellite pharmacy on the 7th floor and the tech for the morning shift, who is always so cheery, was like "oh! cute shoes!" and I had to embarrassingly say, "Jeri, do you have extra shoes?" The look on her face was a mixture of shock and laughter. Of course there weren't extra shoes in the pharmacy. Luckily, there were these blue cloth things that go over shoes to prevent lint or tiny particles from contaminating the air when you're working in a sterile environment.

So I walked around in those around my sandals. So embarrassing. I think it's dangerous for me to have a full week off from work and then go back to work. The school year is probably going to be full of mistakes. Gotta be prepared.
