District Pharmacy technician supervisor, Angel -male, when to NOVA SOUTHEASTERN PHARMACY SCHOOL, then few month after, IT WAS Deyanira (spelling maybe off),

Job title and job description?
Senior pharmacy technician

Who see and had no -fault in / with me, even complement me for the work and customer service I do and give each person. and will/ would not get rid of me even though they were doing there unselfish things to me.
And when they when to Mr. Paul Palermo he would not either.
But, when the district split, Joan Bustello & Ms. Marisol Perez not even 60 month. The SLANDER, ETC. I FEEL DAILY.
give my position to Belinda AND HIRE SEVERAL OTHERS AND PROMOTE THEM

AND AS,
Ms IDA B. WELLS:
When she was 24 she wrote, “I will not begin at this late day by doing what my soul abhors; sugaring men, weak deceitful creatures,with flattery
to Retain them as escorts or to gratify a revenge.”
Ida B. Wells Biography
Journalist, Anti-Lynching Crusader, Women’s Rights Advocate
1862-1931
“I’d rather go down in history as one lone Negro who dared to tell the government that it had done a dastardly thing than to save my skin by taking back what I said.”
Ida B. Wells was born into slavery in Holly Springs, Mississippi, just months prior to emancipation in 1862 . Her parents died of yellow fever when she was 14, and Wells, though ” minimally ” educated.
