On a funny and not at all related to anything note, I had some Kool Aid before work and the red coloring stained my lips essentially rouge. I didn't realize until about three hours into my shift. Now, to each their own, but ruby red lips didn't fit the work uniform! Ha ha! It did explain some rather "traditional" individuals running away from me after I walked up to them. Less amusing, but still amusing in that they were threatened by what they thought was lipstick.

Now about work. My bosses seem dead set on creating tension and an awkward dynamic between me and the Walmart bosses who, while I don't work for them, I have to be able to work with. Mr. La la la wanted me to be able to work the registers. My bosses shot it down quickly and forcefully, making me the messenger, and made sure I knew it was a specific part of the contract that I don't give the appearance of being anything other than a phone salesman.

I get that. If I am given more Walmart roles (register numbers, keys, etc.), that company would take full advantage I wouldn't be able to do the job I was hired to do. On the other, the Walmart boss had a relevant point in that it makes it harder for me to sell a phone when I can't actually sell the phone at the register. In principle, I can just work closely with the Walmart associates to have them complete the sale, but in practice, I have to shadow them to ensure they remember me, not necessarily out of malice, but because they're so busy. I still get my commission, but it makes it harder to finish the process.

As far as the normal aspects of my job go, I think I had a good week! One day I got involved with a dozen phone sales. I kept to people with my company by solving problems and brought two people into the fold. They can't say I'm not doing my job.

I had to deal with scrip logistics today. First off, my PsychNP accidentally sent me the wrong dosage of one of my meds (Lamictal). I take 150 and he sent 200. Easy enough correction, but the man went the path of most resistance. Didn't send a revised scrip, but a second Lamictal scrip at 25 strength. I'm supposed to split the 200 in half and take 2 25s to make 150. At this point, I would be willing to up the dose and take 200, but I don't know what the side effects would be with a such a jump. Nausea, vomiting? Something worse?

Also, everything came due today med wise! If I didn't have Medicaid, I would be freaking out, but at the moment, I can get them filled and get out of there! Had to switch pharmacies to be closer to work, but one perk of Wally World pharmacies is that they can talk to each other easy. So, minor inconvenience.

Work is an hour later starting this morning, so I can maybe be slightly more rested! Fingers crossed!
