Another day, another episode of crazy stories from behind the pharmacy counter.
I first get to work today, and the very first people I help are a bunch of inbreds, who just all happen to have headlice. I swear, even with a shaved head, I could see those little fuckers crawling all over their heads. After helping them (and keeping my distance), I went and thought to myself, "fuck, this is gonna be one of those days."
The next person, brings in a script for Vicodin, no problem. She expects it to be done in 2 minutes....after we just had 5 people bring in 4 scripts each, yeah right!!! I told her 20 minutes, and what does she do??? She stares at us the whole time making sure we do it!! I never, in my life wanted to punch someone more...but to make things worse, she wanted ME to sign the audit slip (the piece of sticker the patient signs, to prove that the medicine was picked up)...I told her to initial it, and I sent her on her merry way....
Next up, was the little "princess." You gotta hand it to the state of Oregon for this one....the will cover her birth control, but not her steroid cream...She starts to talk shit to both myself and the other tech....the other tech and I walk away and let the pharmacist handle it. I had to laugh when Amber, the other tech said, "If she's not careful, I am going to punch her in the face, and give her a fat lip, the bitch!!" CATFIGHT!!!!!
The rest of the day went ok, slow, but ok. That was until I get on the bus....nothing like seeing an insane woman talk to her self, punch her hand, and point to the sky, and nobody is listening to her.....sounds like something that I would do!!!
I meet up with my friend Barry at the Safeway in Jantzen Beach, work clothes on, still, my party clothes in my bag, and of all people to run into...my aunt's fiancee....
After abruptly leaving Safeway (with smokes and gum in tow), Barry and I proceed to head to Stars Cabaret in Beaverton. I still can't believe Barry dropped $130 in there tonight!! It's amazing what happens when a adult film star (Devon) is the featured entertainer....and no bigger nightmare to me when 2 of the dancers (one of whom is the cover of this month's Exotic magazine), and Devon call you "Harry Potter."
Barry and I proceed to leave Stars, after 7 beers, and $180 spent between the two of us, and we head to a little karaoke joint called "Asian Gardens." I have a friend who is the DJ there, and I haven't talked to him in a while, so we stopped by, and chatted. Met a strange drunk lady, who thought I was trying to steal her video poker game from her.....uh, no, I don't play video poker...why waste my time? It turns out that the lady was really cool with us, and even complimented my hair color (Red tonight LOL).
Well, that's all for this, I've talked enough. In the meantime, I am gonna try to figure out how to come up with $200 by Sunday....while I wear my ever so stylish Stars Cabaret tank top (Hey, it was free, ok? I told them it was my birthday, and they believed me!!!)
Remember, Armageddon is coming.....only 3 more days.....and I will never be the same....

Yes, it does take time to get the prescription prepared. First you have to type the prescription into the computer, then you have to bill it to the insurance company. After that, you have to count the quantity of pills, then double count it. Then you put the label on the prescription bottle. After that you hand it to the pharmacist, who checks the prescription for errors (such as mistyping, etc.) After that, then it's done.
