Worst day ever!!!
By ten past nine our locum hadnt come so i rang Nisha from our branch at Felling wjo sorts the locums who said she would get back to me, so in the meantime we cant dispense any prescriptions, any methadone, or sell ANY medicines AT ALL - Cue 20 odd customers walk in wanting all this stuff.
So Nisha rings me back sayingthat this locum of ours Bal - has been sent to the Jesmond branch with another locum Ema. She will sort it.
Ok, so i decided to measure out all the methadone and lock the shop up and put a sign on the door. So while the other girls fend off all the old dears - i spend 30 mins measuring methadone! With Poor Kat the pharmacist down the road running back and forth to dispense the methadone even thought she is VERY 7 month pregnant
So at 10 Nisha rang me back to say that one of the locums was going to be coming from Jesmond to cover the other one
There are 2 pharmacists there - one that drives the other that relies on public transport. Which one do they send? The one that spends 3 HOURS getting here on a train. I rang Nisha to tell her to call this Ema and tell her to just get off the train and i would come up in the car to get her as the buses are notoriously bad And coz the ditzy woman doesnt own a mobile phone i couldnt ring her to tell her to just get off the train at sunderland and instead of getting 3 buses to easington colliery i would just drive and get her!!
So she finally turned up at 12.30!!! Half a day gone - i got 10 mins for my dinner and i cant get into the hairdressers tomorrow before my night out!!
So....

To Nisha - for messing up the Locum system (AGAIN!!!!!!!)

To Bal - for not being a gentlemen and making her spend 3 and a half hours on a train when he could have drove in 30 mins
and

To the hairdressers to not having any appointments - am having to dye it myself now!
