I Hate DOS Systems

March 18th, 2008

So they gave me an ID and password at work. That means I actually have to learn their crappy DOS system that was developed by neantherthals a few million years ago along with the invention of the wheel. Everytime I’m on it, I feel like I should be riding horse carriages to work and speak in Old English. “Good den, my lord. What be thy birthdate? Dost generics suit thee? Most splendid!” “Sir Williams, methinks ye hath no refills. Very well, I shall summon thy physician at once.”

Perhaps it was God’s intervention to save me from my DOS torment when the entire store plunged into darkness due to a power outage. Even the backup generator failed. I got to go home 30 minutes early as a result. Yes, it takes a power outage for them to let me go half an hour early. It’s gonna take a category 5 hurricane for them to let me to go an hour early and an apocalypse for them to let me off a whole day.

So I’ll be praying for the end of the world this week.


One Day Down

March 3rd, 2008

Twenty more to go. First day wasn’t as bad as I had expected. Script volume was low, only about 260 by 5 pm. Apparently, this was unusually high for them. They were overstaffed with 5 techs and 2 pharmacists. I didn’t think such a thing exists in retail pharmacy. Their DOS system sucks ass. To make things worse, they shelve their drugs according to brands. So HCTZ tablets were under “M,” and its capsules were under “H.” Diltiazem tablets were under “C,” the ER formulations were under “D,” while the 240 mg bottles were under “T.” It took me over half an hour to find a fucking drug. I guess the idiots who developed the system decided that dealing with angry customers, insurance rejections, and prior authorizations isn’t enough. Let’s scatter the drugs around so it takes them 3 months to know where they are. Stupid! I need booze!
