The daily grind...

This is what I look like almost every day of the week! Photos were taken in the pharmacy today.

And here is my view from the dispensary

The shop is actually a lot bigger than this photo shows, it is about the same again as wide to the left and another aisle to the right as well.  There is a fairly large (well the biggest in Carnarvon) photography development area down the front on the right.  The counter that I am standing in front of is at the professional services area to the left where people come for advice on medications.  I work mainly at Amcal (the name of the pharmacy) but also work up to ten hours a week at Carnarvon Hospital as a hospital pharmacist, doing ward rounds, checking medication charts, talking with doctors and nurses. I am one of those annoying people who love their job, I have a great boss and work with a group of girls who never fail to make me laugh everyday.  The work is always changing and challanging - new medicines come out, new drug interactions are discovered.  Another plus is that the chemist is less than five minutes drive from home! Not bad for work life balance!
The chemist is in Carnarvon's only shopping centre; it has a Woolworths grocery store, a clothes shop, a bakery, a discount store, a bottle shop an asian takeaway place and a newsagent and thats it!  Even though Carnarvon is quite small the pharmacy really busy, the next nearest pharmacy to us is 450km away!
