Dear 2020, you're almost at the half way point.  We're not sad about it! What I'm doing to try and make 2020 at least  0.0000001% better (I know, I'm shoveling against the tide right now.) 1. Art of Getting a New (Or Better) Job During a Pandemic - is now full! Thanks to those who signed up, and let's get you fired up! Also, if you missed out and have FOMO - just email me and I can get you on the wait list. 2. The New Pharmacist: 46 Doses of Advice - Chapter reading each Wed this summer - enjoy! 3. Is it time for reform of APPE required pharmacy school rotations? Last, and certainly not least, my heart goes out to the Floyd family, and to all victims of police/racial discrimination and brutality everywhere. Our country is angry and hurting right now, and I am very, very heartbroken over this. There are no words. Take care of yourselves and each other until next time.
