The *Angriest* Pharmacist You want your prescription filled when? Eat shit…

I have reached the big time

Posted on December 12, 2011

[I know this is not the post I teased -- I'm still working on it. I have some friends I want to get with for comment, consideration, and thoughts before I click Publish]

I was walking through the mall tonight, and there it was -- right in front of me. There was a very pretty college-aged girl standing there, wearing one of the t-shirts I created and sell. It was white, long-sleeved, and said on the front "Can't afford your copayment? ... Let me have 10 of your cigarettes." [It also showed 10 cartoon cigarettes scattered about] 

My face lit up like a kid a Christmas, although she wouldn't notice me in such a crowded place.

As she turned and walked away from me, I smiled when I saw:

 

Last year, for Christmas, a non-pharmacist friend bought me what he thought was the "perfect gift." He told me not to get him anything -- it was just a trinket that he found on the internet that I would enjoy. A few days after Christmas we met up for lunch and he handed me this mug. I smiled and thanked him cordially, but I didn't tell him the full truth. He bought me a mug I sold him...So, I got the mug AND a royalty fee...:-)

Of course, this now gives me the perfect opportunity to hock my stupid shirts, but I'm not going to waste it. I'm proud of some of them -- while some of them are complete crap. However, since it is very close to Christmas again, and I have noticed a recent upswing in sales. I'll share the main link to the page, the best of my gallery / highest sellers, and give you the opportunity to check them out...or not...whatever...

So, that was a little longer that I would've liked. I guess I'm just proud of my silly shit. Thanks for looking. Have a good one...

I’d rather have…

I'd Rather HaveNew t-shirt design inspired by a comment. The commenter suggested a shirt saying something to the effect of "SUPPORT INDEPENDENT PHARMACY." While this shirt doesn't necessarily say that, I believe the concept is similar. For those of you in retail, take no offense. It's a joke...where do you think I work now? To see the image in a better detail, check out the image on ZAZZLE.

If you want to see the entire gallery of shirts, you can click the Zazzle link in the frame to the right. The CafePress link has a wider selection of the shirts bearing the same images/sayings/logos if you want something exotic (like hoodies, underwear, or girly spaghetti strap shirts)

Have a suggestion?  (other than me going to hell and/or shutting the fuck up)    Contact me.

Where’s he at?

Here's where you can find me. Post a comment if there's any other of these social networking sites or services that I should look in to. I want to be as connected as possible...

http://www.twitter.com/TAestP -- Official TWITTER of myself and the website. If you are not already following me, YOU SHOULD BE.  Thoughts and jokes are submitted almost hourly. Once I get home and get to drinking, updates become much more liberal. For instance, I submitted 9 updates tonight insulting all aspects of Toddlers and Tiaras...:-)

http://www.cafepress.com/TheAngriestPharmacist -- New kid on the block. In the past, I created funny, witty, and/or pithy t-shirts on another side. This allows me to do the same thing on a massive level. Instead of creating, for instance, a plain-old man's t-shirt, yellow organic T, or a ringer t-shirt, I can now take the same design and create every single type of shirt (male, female, long/shirt, ringer, etc) all at one time.

http://www.zazzle.com/TheAngriestPharm -- The old merchandise store. While the store was successful, I'm simply not happy with the functionality of the site. It won't even open in firefox (all I get is the full source code) and in IE, the administrative portion of the site doesn't function properly.  I'm slowly but surely moving the designs to CafePress, but not all designs are going to make the trek. I'll, of course, keep the zazzle store running, but it won't be maintained.

http://www.facebook.com/TAestP -- Profile of TAestP (Angri Est Pharmacist -- for some reason it won't allow a first name of THE or ANGRIEST), texted updates/musings daily. This is a good way to share funny shit with me.

http://www.facebook.com/TheAngriestPharmacist -- Official Page of this website. Updated when there's a new post. Often updated with stupid shirts I make to amuse myself.

http://www.stumbleupon.com/stumbler/TAestP/ -- My SU profile if you want to see how I amuse myself every evening...

http://bit.ly/gp2wTh -- My Bit.Ly URL. Use this as a shortened version of my website.

Four Dollars?

Posted on January 4, 2011
FourDollars

The worst months of my life were the few months following Wal-Mart's initiation of the four dollar prescription "program." I went from working in a pharmacy filling 50 per day to a pharmacy filling 200-250 per day. The biggest problem with that? No additional staff. It was still me, another pharmacist, and 1 and "one-half" technicians. In honor of that, check this shit out...
