Washington D.C.

So I recently traveled to Washington D.C. which should be called the city of memorials. We got Paris (City of Lights), Rome (Eternal City), New York, (City that Never Sleeps). So I nominate D.C. as the City of Memorials, there are war memorials, memorials to presidents, memorials to tragedies, and even a memorial to Einstein. I was shocked, of course I got a picture next to Einstein. I also saw President Obama's motorcade, which is a really cool experience because they block of the streets for like 10 minutes, there are about 2 cop cars and a dozen cop motorcycles as well as about 5 secret service/other vehicles all racing down city streets at like 50 miles per hour. It is ridiculous how fast those guys go. But all in all D.C. was an amazing trip, and expenses wise it wasn't too bad because all the museums and things are free to get in. Like the Smithsonian, National Archives, and the Washington Monument to name a few. I couldn't believe that, the most we paid to get in somewhere was $1.50 to see Ford's Theatre where Lincoln was shot which also included the house across the street where he died.

In other vacation notes, if I get a B in Biochem this summer I am treating myself to the dream vacation to Europe that I want. It will be a trip with EF Tours, and seeing tons of sights all across Europe for a month. Pricetag: $4000, not including meals and souvenirs. I need to save some serious bank, but it would totally be worth it. And on that note, I better get back to studying. Going to see Angels and Demons tonight. I'll post a review tomorrow.

Twitter

So today I broke down and signed up for twitter. Reason was simple breast cancer research. Rachelle Lefevre of the Twilight movie, is doing a charity event for every 10,000 followers she gets on Twitter she will donate 100$. There is also a similar quest with a funnier twist, if Peter Facinelli gets 500,000 followers by June 19th then the CEO of Twitter, Robert DeFranco will walk down Hollywood Blvd singing all the single ladies with a sign saying Twitter me. If Peter loses then he has to give Robert his twilight chair. I vote for Peter, because he comes up with much better terms.
If you want to follow me on Twitter my username is sarcasticchem, the ist wouldn't fit.

Again with the delayed post

This post is going to be short. I'm going to share with you guys a true story from a customer at the pharmacy yesterday.

"Where is your generic Tylenol?" -customer, I replied with the location.
"Sorry I meant Nyquil" again I replied with the location.
"Why is the Nyquil there?"
"That is our cough and cold aisle". I thought that would end the conversation.
"But why is Nyquil in the cough and cold aisle?" Those of you that know anything about medications will know that Nyquil is the knock you out make you feel happy when you have a cold medicine. Very widely used, very widely publicized.
Customer tried to save face, "Yes, but when you have a cold don't you have aches and pains?" "Sometimes, there's a pain reliever in Nyquil." I said, mind you this entire conversation I am being a girl and multitasking. I am also dropping and typing scripts, but paying complete attention to the customer, answering his questions as polite as can be when I really want to shout, "You're a f**king retard stop wasting my time."
Customer throws tantrum, complains to my pharmacist that I don't know what I am talking about and that I was rude. Mind you I have witnesses to my sickening politeness. Anyway I am still there working on my stuff and listening to this guy berate me for being an idiot. I was fuming, I wanted to throw something. He left in a huff, pharmacist turned to me and asked "How the hell did you do that?"
"Do what?"
"Not jump over the counter and punch that guy?"
"I've worked here for 3.5 years, if I punched every stupid a-hole that acted like that I would face jail time." Oh the joys of working at a pharmacy, it's days like today that I don't even mind the 25,000 in debt. I would still rather have that then spend the rest of my life as a pharmacist because it pays well.

Which leads me to my advice for tonight, don't pick a career that will make you tons of money, but your miserable everyday. Because money isn't everything, happiness is everything.
