I remember walking there after school through alleys filled with the smell of lilac bushes & stopping by at another Walgreens-type store on the way there to look at the comic books. It was more than just a nice calm job my senior year (working with sane people - as opposed to retail or fast food), it exposed me to science in the real world. Even though I didn't choose a career in pharmacy, what everyone did there was not lost on me. I was fascinated by being surrounded by chemistry & it really appealed to my analytical side. Don was such a nice guy - inviting me over for either Christmas or Thanksgiving dinner after I had only worked there a few months. And Gerry was a great guy to work with. I also remember there was a customer where the number 8 kept popping up in everything relating to him: his name, his customer number, his birthday, etc. Sadly he passed away when I was working there, but my freshman year of college Gerry prank called me in my dorm at ISU claiming to be him (I think he called on Sept. 8th), but I had forgotten the name, didn't make the connection & didn't realize it was Gerry who called me until a few days later. By that time my family had moved to Arizona & I had no transportation to get back to Carroll so I never saw them again. So if you ever see anyone from the pharmacy let them know how much I enjoyed my time there, not just as a job but as a life experience.<br />-Tony ZekaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5866303.post-19159997361813283432010-10-20T06:20:24.963-05:002010-10-20T06:20:24.963-05:00And the minute we stop doing that is the minute yo...And the minute we stop doing that is the minute you have to question what in the world the point is! ;)<br /><br />Thanks for the comment.Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09484170969405007352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5866303.post-50193633781384887122010-10-19T21:43:13.513-05:002010-10-19T21:43:13.513-05:00I learned a lot here!

We all have grown up jobs and then we come home and cackle like teens. ;)xolondonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05527843352134958287noreply@blogger.com
