Posted by The *Angriest* Pharmacist as Work Sucks

I am a Pharmacist, and my job makes me angry. From people milking the system to Vicodin-seeking punks, I deal with a lot of guff from the general public. I sometimes feel like I’m over-educated for what I do, and it burns me up. So, to make sure my brain cells aren’t wasted, I took up a hobby…blogging. Sounds fair, right?

I also like to make people laugh. Some of my posts will be littered with humorous thoughts or comments to entertain myself and the reader. Hopefully, there will also be posts that the normal patient/customer can read and enjoy as well as more in-depth pharmacy posts focusing on therapeutics, pharmacology, product selection, and general pharmaceutical content.

I went to six LONG years of pharmacy school. I had no idea what I was getting myself in to back then. For the most part, I enjoy my job. I work with a few good people. Of course, I work with some morons, too. I will bitch about most aspects of my job related woes.

A few short rules…

1. The names have been changed in *all* of my posts. Hell, in most of them I use celebrity names for fun. I promise you, no celebrity has ever, or will ever, come into my pharmacy. The gender of the person may also be changed, but I can’t say that for sure. (Even the most ignorant of people could figure out that one…)
2. If it says true story, it is a story from my personal experience, not one I heard from a friend or colleague. Most likely, it is recent. It may be embellished a bit…or none at all. Most likely, the story will be 100% legit and not exaggerated. You really can’t make some of this shit up!
3. If I look like a dick or do something wrong, I will post it. I don’t care.
4. If you comment and make me look bad, I will leave it. I’m not above being proven wrong or admitting such in the very next comment.
5. If you stumble upon this, and you think a post is about you, you are wrong. It’s not. There are more than 55 thousand pharmacies in the USA (with a new one opening on average every few minutes - thanks Walgreens!). Each of these has an average of 2 or 3 pharmacists. Do the math. It’s not you.
6. Comments submitted via the contact form may be shared in a post. Only your first name, last initial, title, and comment will be posted. Your email address, IP address, and all other information transmitted will be kept private an in confidence. (This policy was changed/updated on 12-3-07. All posts containing this information prior to this date are exempt from this rule and will not be amended.)
7. So there.
