Guess I could bring my basketball. :)
Looks great Mom.
It is just down the road from me, only about 50 miles.
I will be there with Brisket or Steak or Sea Food Gumbo or a choice of any two of the above. TC shooters please chime in on what you want. I do know that Brisket is choice one but I will provide an additional choice of either Gumbo or Steak in addition to the Brisket.
I feel quite bad about not making the last shoot due to work and the hell of it is I am retired. However, I still work part time and there was no one else that could do the night shift at the VA Inpatient Hospital Pharmacy.
Both night shift pharmacists have retired and we do not have enough really qualified pharmacists to do the job. We have sufficient pharmacists but not enough that know what the hell they are doing?
This “aint” counting pills and filling bottles. We are a teaching hospital and the pharmacists are an integral part of the team. When things go bad for a patient I am working with the resident doctors that have their training wheels on. This is about decisions that must be right. If you do not know the right answer you must be able to get the right answer quickly. If the doctors knew the right answer they would not be calling you for help. I like my work.
As there was no one else really qualified I had to miss the last shoot. We have many pharmacists but few that can work the night shift alone.
I actually enjoy that kind of work for the Vets. When I have had a really crazy night I go home and know that I “did good.”

I have already talked to my boss and he knows that the next Cowboy Shoot is my time.
ps
The VA gets a bad name about service to the Vets and this is most deservedly so. This is not a problem of the doctors, nurses, pharmacists, etc. They do a good job. The problem is administration of the VA System. The problem comes from Washington DC and not your local VA. The local VA is conducting its business under the direction of Washington DC.

Heck yeah. Would be fun to watch folks play.
