I think I shall address the question posted by Caity, she asked which one am I? Here they are:
The "teachers pet"- or favorite, I'm not intentionally the favorite but I've been there the longest, I know the likes and dislikes of the pharmacist, and I just go with the flow. It has its benefits though, like if your bosses like you there going to push for raises, push for vacay, and get you the days off you want (sometimes).
The "let people walk all over you"- or pushover. The one who lets people yell at them for something they didn't do, the one who just takes it. It may be a good quality in the customer service field, but in the real world it just plain sucks. Can't you just stick up for yourself! Don't let them yell at you. (There are a few of us back in the pharmacy with this trait)
The "problem fixer"- peacekeeper, the one who just tries to make everything better. This ones kind of self explainatory.
There most likely are some negative ones for me, but I don't know what they are, maybe I'm biased. As far as I'm concerned, I go to work, I try my best and I work hard. And hopefully that's enough.
And I think I deserve a raise (if any of my bosses are reading this wink, wink)

Work and People
In every workplace weather it be a pharmacy (like mine) or a cubicle filled office. I'm sure there are people that fit the outline as follows;
The "know it all"- cannot be show or taught anything because they know it all ready. They always answer with "oh I knew that!" even though you know they claerly and completely didn't.
The "I have no concept of personal space"- they are ALWAYS too close for comfort welded right next to you, and sometimes are a little smelly (wether it be morning breath, or had something containing garlic for lunch). You scoot and they follow always touching somehow, looking over your shoulder as you type on the computer or helping a customer at the counter.
The "sneak"- they make mistakes and hope that no one notices, or when a mistake is found out they find a way to bypass the boss, or blame it one someone else (usually me or the new girl)
The "one that can't catch on"- you show them something about ten or more times and they still call you over 2 seconds later to be shown again. Or its some elaborate plan to remain lazy and just let other people pick up the slack for them.
The "I'm better that you"- and they let you know it! They tell you how much more experience they have than you. They want you to do it their way, because somehow your way is not good enough (but has been working just fine for you for the last 3 years!). And they they really aren't better that you, they just are egotistical (spelling) pieces of poo. They also think that they are some how that they're your boss even though the were hired at the same position you hold! And have only been there for less than 3 months, as opposed to your 3 years!
The "lazy one"- this one speaks pretty much for itself. The one who leaves the work for you, because they just didn't feel like it. The one who covers your lunch break, and the nice clean caught up workplace you left has disappeared in the 30 minutes while you ate.
The "I know but. . ."- the one who gives you a complement but there is always a BUT attached. Your sick but yet they insist that they're worse off (always have a story to top off yours).
There are so many more that I could explain but I'm to tired to type them out. These people also can be combined. For instance I have a "I know but", "I'm better than you", "know it all","sneak" combo. MAN I really dislike that person!!!! I just try to ignore them but sometimes it cannot be done.
Well I think I feel a little better after that ventage session ;)

A Update for everyone!
We'll I'm officially going to get transfered to the store I've been trying to get to for 3 almost 4 months now! My first day is going to be November 5th. I'm very excited ! And then on top of that. . . We're going to start building our house at the end of this month (well we'll be breaking ground, and the start building in November)!!!!
I'm also a little nervous about the new store. New doc's signatures and handwriting to learn. New places for drugs , to find. And new PEOPLE. It will be ok. And then along with that I'll be building a house. Goodness do I know how to do all the streesful stuff at once in my life or what?!
You know what I did today? I'm such a space case. I was supposed to leave at 3 pm today but I was at work till 5 pm. I thought I worked till 5!!! I went into the back room to get my coat and looked at the schedule and it said. Katrina 9-3!!!!! I'm soooo done.
I better get going. . . I don't know what it is with aidan and throwing that nerfball at my head whenever I write a blog ;)

Oh Goodness. . . I'm obsessed!
Thanks to the help from my good friend Adelyn, I'm am currently officially addicted to the TWILIGHT series by Stephanie Meyer. So far she has 3 books published and a forth coming out fall 2008. I've read all the books twice and I love them! They are so good.
I've also been sick, so sick infact, that I haven't went to work in 3 days. Michael actually was like "are you sure your not just staying home to read those books?" After a dirty look and me puking he didn't think I was faking anymore.
They're planning on making a movie for twilight! And she's working on a book called MIDNIGHT SUN that's in Edward's perspective of the first book. But that won't be out for several years :(
See . . . I'm clearly obsessed! And I'm not faking an illness to stay at home to read them. I better go, Aidan is getting annoyed with me and is throwing a nerf ball at my head for attention (silly boy).

Aidan and his all time favorite movie!
Aidan who is two and a half, for those of you who don't know. Has a favorite movie. . . A cinderella story with hilary duff and chad michael murry. That pre teen flick. He asks to watch it everyday, he knows the names of almost all the characters, and he narates the movie as he watches. His favorite part is when prince charming shows up named austin aims. Aidan goes "there's austin aims, austin's here". I think one of the reasons he likes the movie so much is because cinderella's name is samantha (sam). Which is the name of one of his favorite people. . . Adelyn's daughter sam! Of course.
Speaking of the movie we're watching it right this moment. My son is so silly. He's saying " stop that you're missing it! Its good, its a good movie"

the past 3 days. . .
For the past 3 days I have been working on an insurance problem, for one of our customers. If I haven't been helping customers, the phone has been jammed between my shoulder and ear, trying to convince medicare that they're system is wrong. They say that this patients insurance is medicare as primary, but when I bill it it says that it's secondary and I need to bill the other insurance. There is no other insurance!!!! After talking to 7 different medicare agency's and 2 conference calls with the customer and medicare. Medicare told her to go to another pharmacy cause we're billing ir wrong. So they went to walmart. And wally world got the same rejection!!! Well the customer came back to us to fill them. And payed $500 until we can get this mess straigtened out.
There is a good part to this story when she came to pick them up she brought me flowers, chocolate and a card telling me how thankful she was for my efforts :)
You know sometimes this job may suck but it's times like this that make it worth while.

a day off
After working 46 hours in four days I finally got a day off!! It was nice I got to go see some of my friends and I got to go out to eat with aidan and michael. I'm glad I got one, I really needed it ;)
Aidan is all into talking with complete sentances. And he likes to pretend . . . Like right now he has a wand (a wooded chopstick) and he's waiving it around and pointing it at me saying "you know something". I have no idea where he got that. He also likes to crawl around and pretend he's a cat named fred. He's so fun, I must admit I'm never without entertainment between aidan and michael.
I think I should go aidan is getting a little impatient.
