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.

Wow time goes fast
I can't believe it's been so long since my last post! I bought a new car a 2009 Cobalt, blue with gray interior nothing else matters when you're a girl.
I am working on research with a new professor and I love it, he's super cool and the project I am working on is incredible.
Waiting to hear from grad school everyone please cross your fingers!
Struggling through my senior year, because all hell is breaking loose with my school work right now. I don't know what I was thinking taking the course load that I took! Inorganic Chem (graduate level), Physical Chem 2, Chemical Instrumentation (graduate level), Organic Chem 2, as well as my research and making up an incomplete in my professional presentation class.
I am now working 3 jobs, my pharmacy tech job which is awful I hate people and certain jerkface pharmacists. I also have my on campus job working in a Qualitative Analysis class and in the stockroom. And I am tutoring 3 high school students several times a week. And yet because of the shitty ass economy I am still broke.
Since I last posted I got sucked in by the Twilight phenomenon. I had read the first 2 books prior to the movie, but the movie came out and I devoured the last 2. Now I am working on reading them all again for a second time. I am obsessed with the Twilight Lexicon because they give every little detail about the movies and the cast you could ever want to know. The Twilight guys are literally everywhere I think they are going to take over the world....literally democracy, communism, imperialism, dictatorships watch out twilightism will take over!!!!!!!
Well that is the update I will try to be more faithful to my blog in the upcoming weeks. I'm going to shoot for a post a week because that seems much more attainable than a post a day...what was I thinking?
