Its only 6AM and I already need a nap. Yesterday just sucked. Monday, right after a holiday and coming up on the first of the month, short 2 techs and every customer in the door thought they needed their scripts RIGHT FUCKING NOW! I got a little short with a couple people. Like the stupid bastard who called 13, yes 13 times before 2 pm to inquire about his hydrocodone script. I told him his docs fax machine was not working correctly, but we would keep trying, however, if he wanted it faster he should get off his lazy, fucking, tax money sucking ass and go get his doc to write a new one. Didn't happen. He just kept calling. I'm gong to have to enforce penalty hours instead of minutes. For every time the jerk calls, I'll add 1 hour to the time it will take to fill it. And just for good measure, I'll also slow down his wifes lortab, and his aunts, and his uncles and his daughters. Yes, in the past week we have filled lortab scripts for every one those family members. I wonder whos really taking it. Or are they selling it? Bastards. On that note, I'll finish getting ready for work, since I'm going in an hour and half early to help catch up from yesterday. I'm exhausted already.

Get a Clue

Heres a tip when you're waiting for the doctor to call in your prescription: Don't walk in the door and ask if its here and when told "not yet", go outside and call on your cell phone and ask again. 5 times. I can't pull a rabbitt out of my ass. Your prescription is not going to magically appear just because you keep asking. We do not, under any circumstances, hide your prescription so you can't get it. We don't spindle or mutitlate it. We don't deliberately set it aside and forget about it. Don't tell us to just check the fax when we are sitting right next to that bastard and theres nothing on it. Get a freakin clue, if its not here, call your damn doctor and leave us the hell alone. Heres another clue: if you call me every 20 minutes to see if its ready yet, I'm going to count 1 pill every 1/2 hour til its done. And if I tell you its going to be 20 minutes to fill your prescription and you whine about it, be prepared to wait a freakin eternity for it. Heres another clue: the jail will fax us for presciption information, so we know when your husband/sister/wife/brother etc is not in need of their hydrocodone. And another thing, if you've been addicted to hydrocodone for 15 freakin years, don't call in pretending to not know what it is or how to say it. "Oh I really need my hydro, um, hydroco, um um, I don't know how to say it, but its for my sinus headaches." That just makes you more stupid. I'm sure there are lots of names for it when you sell/buy a few on the street. And another thing, we are not a zoo exhibit. Do not stand on the other side of the glass and stare/glare intently at us in the hope that we will count faster. This tactic will guarantee we won't. Feeding the animals however, might just get you done quicker. So, thats my tips for the day. Ya'll have a nice day.

Crap, tomorrow's Monday

So I've been off work for a week for hernia surgery and I have to go back tomorrow. I may be breaking out in hives. Trying like hell to wrap my mind around the idea of smiling, and being nice to the customers. Like the ones on medicaid who are knocked up with baby number whatever, who stands at the counter with her litter of kids and the whole friggin family is drinking Starbucks. I can't afford those, and I have a job. Or the woman who has no refills on her hydrocodone, of which shes using 480+ per month, who has a screaming fit cause I won't give her any "to get by on". Her liver must look like shit at 3900mg of tylenol per day. Probably sue Watson when her liver fails and claim they gave her bad meds. Or the addicts who are in DT's, also drinking starbucks, and tweaking around the pharmacy while their scipts are filled. Oh I love my job, I love my job, I love my job................sound true yet? damn
