The mistake was leaving the retail pharmacy to try inpatient pharmacy at a hospital. Granted, the retail pharmacy could be very stressful at times, and I had no way of knowing I wouldn’t be able to keep up with the hospital pharmacy job, didn’t realize how fast-paced it is, but it still was a big mistake.
Other than the teaching job I returned to last January, I haven’t been able to make any job work out since.
Well, I was fine with working full-time on midnights at the gas station, until it closed for remodeling five months into working there; I had no control over that.
And yeah, I lost my most recent side job in favor of a tech who was willing to work eight hours without a lunch or breaks, but I can’t help but think I screwed myself over when I took a chance on hospital work last year.
Here I am now, yet again looking for a side job. Ugh.
You tried something. It didn’t work. It’s still impressive that you took the chance. I hope you find a job that works well for you soon. You’re a very smart guy, and I’m sure something will open up.
I hope you find something better soon. I did the same mistake you did. Quit a great job for another, got fired and never went to work again. I realize I no longer have the physical capability at this point.
I get tired quickly, have side effects, slow thinking. I need to adjust my life according to my capabilities.
They say “nothing ventured, nothing gained”. Sometimes things happen for a reason, i believe. Hope you end up finding something even better. Good luck, man.
