Thank-yous all around…

Posted by The *Angriest* Pharmacist as Doctors, Me being a dick, PSE, Stupid People, Work Sucks

I’d like to thank the following (Entity — Reasoning):

  • Anthem — For being down all damn day (amounting to ~30 orders)
  • The dude that told me pharmacy “wasn’t my thing” — You made me realize how ungrateful people really can be
  • My superiors for refusing to hire the [pharmacist AND tech] help I require — You’ve given me a reason to seek new/better employment.
  • Our Elected Representatives — You’ve put a chain between my leg and the register, which only sells Pseudoephedrine, all damn day
  • People who get scripts and come to the pharmacy 2 weeks later to get them filled and want those motherfuckers NOW — You’ve made me understand that people are retard and irrational
  • My Alma Mater — For filling my head with pretend terms like “pharmaceutical care” and “consultation”
  • The Ole’ Apothecary — For his comment on my last post, which was the brightest point in my otherwise shitty day.
  • Linkin Park — Making rip-your-face-off music that helps me get out the demons on the way home.
  • Hallmark — Requiring that we send Christmas Cards to all friends and family
  • USPS — Being in cahoots with Hallmark and raising the price of stamps again
  • Walgreens Pharmacy, CVS, et. al — Turning my profession into a consumer commodity the likes of butcher, fry cook, or Sears Clerk
  • Doctor’s Offices — You’ve made it okay for people to wait 4 days to get a refill. Why do I only get 15 minutes?
  • Valve — Thanks for Half-Life, Half-Life 2, Half-life 2 Episode 1, Half-Life 2 Episode 2, and most recently PORTAL. It’s helped me through some rough spots
  • Dogs Playing Poker — As I look at you on my wall, you bring joy into my life with each glance
  • Britney Spears — I can always count on you and your hijinx to get the heat off of big Pharma every time they do something screwy
  • What are you thankful for? Share it in a comment.

    Ah, TAP, let me count the ways I’m thankful:

    1. To Tim Berners-Lee, inventor of HTML, who did what the chain owners must hate: pharmacists across the world sharing their stories in real time. Everybody, get together, gotta love one another right now. Nobody else does.

    2. To the social radicals who eliminated grade competition in school and corporal punishment at home, thus contributing to the dumbing down and weakening of America and the strenghening of my job security because there are fewer students smart enough to gain ad- mission and achieve success in pharmacy school (the same ones who say that World War II ended in 1965 and pitted the U.S. and Germany against Russia).

    3. To the advertising executives behind the direct-to-consumer drug ads: thanks for naming a birth control pill after the Boston Red Sox’ greatest left fielder. His nickname was Yaz. Shoulda Googled that one before you put it on the label, guys. Where is “Captain” Carl Yastrzemski to comment? I giggled each time you ran your commercial.

    Your blog makes me smile when pharmacy school has me ready to kill myself because they put us through exam HELL.
    Thanks!

    That makes it all worth it!

    Looks like you picked up Valve’s Orange Box. Some good games there for sure! Have you tried Battlefield 2? Great game! There’s nothing more enjoyable that pretending the other players are the horrible customers encountered earlier in the day and filling them full of lead. Revenge is sweet.

    Nice to know I’m not the only sick pharmacist out there. :)
