Tại sao đời không có nhau?
Tình phai ôi tình tan úa màu
Từ bao chiều trong tái tê rã rời hoang phế
Đổi thay từ giây phút nào
Ngẩn ngơ cõi lòng tôi thét gào
Niềm đau dài hơn nỗi vui bao ngày cho nhau

Dù năm tháng đổi thay người hỡi
Những ngọt ngào vẫn mãi trong nhau
Bàn tay vẫn tìm nhau trìu mến
Và ta sẽ mãi yêu cho dẫu mai này về đâu

How did we ever go from this:
Longer than there’ve been fishes in the ocean
Higher than any bird ever flew
Longer than there’ve been stars up in the heavens
I’ve been in love with you.
to this:
Cause we belong together now, yeah
Forever united here somehow, yeah
You got a piece of me
And honestly,
My life would suck without you.

Weekend at work is always interesting. I get a lot of Adderall prescriptions with 3 refills, a lot of phone calls asking if we have “Roxi” in stock, and a lot of questions whether or not we fill out-of-state narcotic prescriptions. Fake, no, and hell no!
Today is no different. A rather well-kept lady came up to the counter asking to speak to a pharmacist. Apparently she has a mouth ulcer. Her dentist friend wants to call in a prescription for her. She gave me a torn up piece of paper and asked me to call the number to get the prescription.
“I’m sorry ma’am, your doctor would have to call us,” I responded.
“Well, it’s his cell phone number and he can’t call on a cell phone,” she quickly fired back.
That makes no fucking sense to me. But we were slow, and I needed some entertainment. So I dialed the number. A man picked up. When I asked for his NPI number, he gave me his DEA number. He dictated a prescription for an antibiotic and wanted to give her something for pain, Vicodin. Great Dr. Fakey Fake, but we don’t take out-of-state prescriptions for Vicodin. “Ok, then just give her OTC naproxen.”
I hung up the phone and walked up to the lady.
“So what did he called in for me?”
“He called in an antibiotic”
“That’s it? Anything else?”
“Yes, he also called in something for pain, but I can’t take that prescription since he’s out-of-state. He said to get Aleve instead.”
“Ok, what kind of antibiotic is it because I think I already have that in my car.”
“Amoxicillin.”
“Oh, let me go out to my car and check to see if it’s the same.”
Out the door she went, and never came back.
Surprise, surprise!

I pulled up the intranet at work this morning to check my email. Bottom right corner of the page displayed a huge banner for Black History Month. The background was pitch black, with white words written across it. Does that seem wrong to you or is it just me?

It’s been so long since I last posted something. Damn work is taking all my time (and my hair) away from me. I’m contemplating on giving up my position and just be a slacker pharmacist.

I don’t smoke. I don’t drink. I don’t gamble.
But I am extremely addicted to my “kids,” all 27 of them. They take up most of my time and a lot of my paycheck. I just got back into this hobby a few months ago. It’s a heck of an addiction.
I’ve always wanted to keep Discus with cichlids. Now I can with this Red Severum, pet name “Scotch.”
This Cyphotilapia frontosa Burundi is the ultimate king of the tank. I adopted him from big bro. It’s quite a sight watching the 7-inch predator go up for food.
I’ve always wanted a blue fish. The Sciaenochromis fryeri species is as blue as they come.
Sunshine peacocks are the reason I got into peacocks and haps. I love the contrast of yellow and blue.
“Rainbow,” Protomelas taeniolatus, still has a lot of coloring up to do.
This Copadichromis azureus is the most expensive fish in my tank. I fell in love with him at first sight. Anyone messes with him gets to go in the prison tank.
She’s just a common red zebra but extremely mild for her species.

Me: Hi Ms. B, this is Me calling from the Pharmacy. How are you doing today?
Ms. B: I have a house full of guests right now, can we get to the point?
Me (thinking): WTF? I hope you choke on your own saliva and die, bitch!
For a high-end retail chain, my pharmacy is filled with a bunch of narcissists.

…for good this time.
My life has been so uneventful in the past few months that even I wasn’t interested in it. Not that it’s any better now. I just miss writing.
So I’m back.
I’ll get a few posts up as soon as I recover from this 12-hour-a-day, 5-day work stretch.
