So fucking depressed and anxious right now

My boss/coworker, and basically only friend i have at work, told me this morning that she is going to put in her two weeks notice.

So not only am i losing a friend at work, im gaining her work until they replace her. Our business is 24/7, so there is someone working everyday. I work on the weekends, which is fine. But since i'll soon be the only person, i'll either have to work 6 days a week, or when i come back from my weekend, i would have 3 days worth of work to do. By myself.

I'm at such a dead end. I dont have the experience to go anywhere else with the same pay. I'm so fucked. I have no idea what im going to do

thanks smile

i hate when this happens to business. ive been making up for a full 40-hr/week person not being present in the pharmacy for weeks now and I feel like shooting myself at the end of each shift. hopefully, this too shall pass.

well, in FL you have to be certified to work as a tech. When I was a tech, you didn't need to have that certification, but now you need to pass a test (which is a few hundred dollars) and take a certification course beforehand (which the university is doing for $3k!!!)

it really is so expensive and even afterwards you make $8-$16/hr. nothing that great considering the amount of work you have to do. the good thing is you are a valued member of the community (pharmacy tech carries some weight of respect with it) and there are always job openings. well... i take it back. its worth it if you are a tech. you help people, you are air conditioned, get lunch breaks, and get respect. not worth it if you are a lead tech, which comes with a little raise but infinitely more responsibility.

i think within a month, it becomes worth it. not years. i remember being a tech, not having that much of a responsibility as I do now, and those were the days... the pay just sucks.
