A New Job
On June 13th I found out that the Albertsons pharmacy that I had been working at was going to permanently close "on or before June 23, 2006." I had only 3 days to decide if I wanted to stay with Albertsons as a relief pharmacist or take the severance package and find a new job. I had to let my district manager know if I wanted to stay with the company be June 19th.
It was a fairly easy decision to leave. I had not been happy with the company. Over the course of 1 year my check had been wrong 10 times, and I don't think the company is going to be around much longer any way. I didn't even want to contribute to their 401K plan because I felt that I'd be throwing money down the toilet be purchasing Albertsons stock! I contacted several of the large chain pharmacies, and the day after I heard the news, I had an interview with Walgreens. I was offered a job on the spot as a floater with no weekends. . .and I was offered $3/hr more than what I had been making. That was too good to pass up.
The Albertsons pharmacy closed on June 20th. Monday was my first day with Walgreens, and things are going very smoothly so far. This has turned out to be a real blessing. We had been praying for several months for a job situation for me that would allow me to go to church more often, and we're going to be able to use some of the money from the severance package to pay off some student loan debt. God is so good.
