Dear Friend:
Hi. I'm glad to hear that your day went well for you. Your job sounds interesting. Teaching is a noble profession. Let me try to answer some of your questions about my city, and job, and so on.......
There is a lot of things to do in the city where I live. My city is both urban and rural. There are many museums and theaters where one can enjoy classical music, or watch a play being performed on stage. There are many fine restaurants where they serve a variety of ethnic dishes, and where you can enjoy listening to a live band play. We have many night clubs for dancing and such. There are also a number of casinos where one can gamble if they want. There are a number of amusement parks with all kinds of rides and attractions. They are opened only in the summer, due to the cold weather throughout the winter months. We have lots of beautiful parks throughout the city and outskirts. We have many lakes and rivers too. Rochester is connected to Ontario Canada by a large lake called "Lake Ontario." There is a ferry that takes people to and from Toronto Canada from Rochester. It takes two hours to cross the lake over to Canada. The scenery is absolutely beautiful from the ship. In the countryside, you can find many farms with cattle and horses roaming. As you driving through, you can see horses on both sides of the road grazing. I enjoy taking long country rides on the weekends. It's so relaxing to get out of the city and slow down. I love it outdoors. You were also asking about my job and hours and such.......
I'm a pharmaceutical technician. I work in a large hospital pharmacy. We fill patient prescriptions, make IV fluids for the various units, etc. I was working Monday through Friday, with no weekends. I'm now working weekends as well. (I don't like it.) I work 40 hours per week, sometimes more. My hours are from 2:30pm to 11:00 PM. Since the hospital cannot close, we have 3 shifts that need to be covered. I just work the evening shift. There are others that must work the night shift, from 11:00pm until 7:00 am the next day. My work can be very stressful because you're taking care of sick patients that need immediate care. People's lives are in your hands. I've worked in the medical field for many years now. It's all I really know. Sometimes I feel like quitting and doing something totally different. Have you ever felt like that? I'm going to try to send some more pictures to you of my family and I. It's nice to see who you're talking with. It's nice to have a face behind the words. Well, Take care my friend for now. My best regards to you and your family.
Your friend,
John
