What a day

So yeah, last Sunday, I went to work w/ 3 hours of sleep. NOT A GOOD IDEA. Almost cause an accident on my 30min drive to work :-P

Anywho, I swear the busy-ness of the pharmacy depends on the Sunday football schedule. I think our manager should schedule the clerks based on that hours.

Some amusing things that happened:
- Some old guy called and ask if we had any Penicillin VK in stock. Guess how long it took the technician who answered that call to do a stock check hahahahah. After we assured him that we had some Pen VK in stock, he proceeded to ask if we can go ahead and fill it for him. No, the doctor hasn't called it in, he's sitting at home with the prescription in his hand. Get your ass over to the pharmacy you lazy bum.

- Me, being on 3hours of sleep, almost put away an empty box of Nuva ring in the fridge. Pharmacist thought it was hilarious that I actually for fall it when he tells me to put the box back and I didn't check to see if there's any stuff in there.

- Got 2 cases of angry customers.
Customer 1: Parents "complain" at me about how his doctor had him wait 48hrs before switching meds for his son who's running 100+ fever. Mom thinks he has mono and thus the Augmentin she is picking up ain't gonna help.
My thoughts: thank you for not straight out just screaming at my face. however, I can't really do anything 'cause we're not the prescriber.

Customer 2: I'm fuckin' pissed 'cause I had to wait 2hrs to pick up my daughter's birth control pills. Us: well, you have a photocopy of an rx, so we're gonna need to get the doctor to call in a new prescription. And the ER is not being very cooperative.
[I happened to be walking in on this when I clocked back in from lunch]
My thoughts: Why are you making such a big deal over your daughter's BC pills? Is she having sex tonight or something? btw, ER writes rxs for birth control??
