Erratic...
Let's face it; I'm a lazy blogger. When I first started I was excited at the prospect of having a place to post my thoughts and experiences. As time went by, I found it getting more and more tedious as I simply had better things to do. I keep saying I'll put more effort but obviously these promises were as empty as the updates on my blog. When something interesting happens, I prefer to talk about it to those I care for or just leave it wandering in my thoughts. It's not like I don't have time to blog. I'm just plain lazy.
Nevertheless, now that I'm here I might as well give a brief update. It's now my 4th month in my job and I must say that things are going fantastically well. I've established myself as an above average graduate and seem to have gained acceptance in the community. Most customers see me as a real pharmacist as opposed to a graduate/trainee and seek my advice in the same way. One of the biggest pleasures in life is actually looking forward to your next day of work.
My house is more or less fully furnished. Sure, I don't have a microwave, washing machine or big chest of drawers. But then again they aren't things that I really need to live comfortably. They are more of a convenience rather than a necessity. People are surprised when I tell them I wash my clothes by hand. I've been doing that for the past 4 years!
While I've become lazy at blogging, I've become more hardworking in my area of work. I've been busily collecting points towards my Continuing Professional Development. The idea is that pharmacists should maintain lifelong learning in their profession to ensure that they are kept on their toes in this ever-changing industry. I managed to fulfil the minimum point requirements by March and am still collecting them. Makes me feel like a nerd at times. I am sure I studied much less while I was at uni! Even so, I must say that filling my head with knowledge makes my confidence grow and I learn many new things that I apply in my day-to-day work. This sort of reminds me of one of my first-year Biology lecturers who would declare that obtaining knowledge is more exciting than sex. Not that I would know yet.
What's going on with the world today? It seems as though we are spiralling deeper and deeper towards hell. Now scientists are predicting the effects of global warming will be seen in the coming years. We knew about global warming more than a decade ago and no-one did anything then! Typical of humans to wait until the last minute to do something about a problem. Not a day goes by nowadays without reading about disaster due to natural circumstances. Not so natural when you think that we are the ones that manufactured the cause of the poblem in the first place. I tend to wonder whether I will be able to grow old in a green world. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a hippie. I just feel that things have gone way too far for comfort. I know that I don't do nearly as enough as I should. However if we really wanted to make a difference, everyone should pitch in. We shouldn't have to pay more to convert our electricity and gas into "green"-energy. We seem to have to always pay more just to save the planet. Governments should learn how to put their money where their mouth is and make an active effort to save the environment.
Enough rambling. I know that if these words I am typing were actually sound; I would be able to hear them echoing on and on. Probably no-one visits this blog anymore. I can't blame them. Yet, it was never meant to be like a large gathering place for people to visit. It is meant to be just a place for me to put my thoughts into words for myself to read but also for whoever is interested. I couldn't be bothered if no-one read this. That was never the point in the first place.
At the moment, for me at least, life is beautiful. It could be better for sure but I am content. God has been intensely good to me and continues to shower me with His blessings. I guess when you're happy, you'd rather spend the time enjoying yourself as opposed to blogging. Well then, enough from me for now. If anyone is reading this, I hope that life finds you happy as well. Until next time...
