I am the Pharmacy Technician

That’s right. I sold around 200 prescriptions today with no cashier assistance. Sure the pharmacist and the “student” chipped in every so often, but it was mostly me. I glanced at the schedule for tomorrow, and it seems that I am assigned to the In-Window, Filling station, and Out-Window all at the same time. Okay. I can handle it, but let it be known that I am not happy with this. I cannot physically be in three places at once. But then again, it gives me a chance to show just how kick-ass I am. I bought some TED hose today because my legs are killing me. I am only 30 yrs old. I do not want spider veins yet.

First customer of the day was waiting in the drive-thru….today was the day we could FINALLY fill her hydrocodone and she sure as heck was going to sit there and wait for it. Then in walks Mr Boomba, who apparently threatened to sue the pharmacy last night because we closed 15 minutes before he arrived. Of course his insurance is not working….there was a change after the first of the year that he STILL has not fixed with his employer. All it takes is one phone call from him to his benefits coordinator to get it straightened out. That’s it. One phone call. No need to sue anybody. He proceeded to cuss the “student” out because of his insurance malady. I snickered inside….just a foretaste of what’s to come for this poor girl.

Why, oh why are people so idiotic? When you get mail from your insurance company, READ IT. It is probably important.

It’s also been brought to my attention that in my state there are MANY over the counter drugs that are covered on Medicaid. WHY? This is not necessary. Flintstone’s vitamins for children. Acetaminophen, Iron Drops, etc…. WHY? And why is it that the ones on Medicaid are driving the pimped out Lincoln Navigator and have gold teeth? If you can afford rims for your gas guzzling SUV, you can buy your dang Flintstone’s vitamins yourself, instead of using MY HARD EARNED CASH to pay for them.

On another note: We’ve settled on a name for New Cat. He’s named after a hobbit, but probably not the one you’re thinking of. Yay!
