Assuming that the Novolog has just come out of the fridge you will be fine to use it for the next 28 days, but no longer.
If you want to put it back in the fridge for use at a later time it may be a good idea to ask the pharmacy how long it has been out of the fridge... or, you could ask for a replacement vial from the fridge.
(It should not have been left out on a bench and it is probably worth mentioning to Walgreens that you are not "happy"!)
This from http://www.drugs.com/pro/novolog-injection.html#section-15.2
"... Unused NovoLog should be stored in a refrigerator between 2° and 8°C (36° to 46°F). Do not store in the freezer or directly adjacent to the refrigerator cooling element. Do not freeze NovoLog and do not use NovoLog if it has been frozen. NovoLog should not be drawn into a syringe and stored for later use.
