Smoking Cessation

Today, I did consultations on asthma medications for 2 patients. The thing is, they stink really bad of cigarettes. I was soooo tempted to just add after the consultation "by the way, you need to quit smoking." Dude, you're on all these asthma medications, and you're still smoking? And smoking so much that I can smell you from far away. Dude, you need to quit.

One patient tries to make a scene about some med. We had to call security on him.

Nurses are mean :( + Funny Names

So I was doing renal dosing at the hospital and I realize that the patient doesn't have Height and Weight on the computer. Well, obviously, I need those info to calculate CrCL. So I called the nursing station to get the info. All they have to do is read the chart to me. This is what happen.

Me: Hi this is [me] calling from pharmacy. Can I get the height and weight for [insert patient] from room [insert room#], please? ((I EVEN SAY PLEASE!!!))
Nurse: What do you need it for?
Me: ((wtf do you care?)) Uh...I need it to do the renal dose for one of the medications the patient is taking.
Nurse: Why, isn't it on the computer? It should be on the computer.
Me: ((would I fuckin' call you if it was on the computer?)) No, it wasn't on the computer.
Nurse: Fine, hang on. *Puts me on hold*
Few minutes later, nurse gives me the info.

Sheesh, what an attitude.

Funny names:
- Last name: Ouch
hahaha, someone name Ouch is in hospital for an Ouchy

- First name: Ethylene
Let me guess. Your parents have PhD in chemistry right?

Our pharmacy follows football schedule

I swear our pharmacy follows the football schedule. When the game is going on, it's dead quiet. Then within the last 15min of the game (esp. runaway games), everyone decides to show up AT THE SAME TIME!!! Usually, we'd have 1-2 clerks going on. Meaning the pick up line would be FREAKIN' LONG. Since we'll be slow on the filling line, I would get sent to do team sale. This would be when the people bitch at me. Wah wah wah, you guys should hire more people blah blah blah. I've been waiting here forever blah blah blah.

I don't get it. You're willing to wait 80min to get on Space Mtn. Why can't you wait 30min to pick up your prescription? Especially when it's your blood pressure medication.

PEOPLE SHOULD STOP BITCHING AT THE PHARMACY!!! Wait 'til we become all automated and you won't even have a fuckin' human being to bitch at. We'll program to robot to shock you every time you bitch.

Bad guys I hate

So I started playing HL2. Probably not a smart idea since I have midterms in like 3 days.

Anyway, I need to make a list of the bad guys/enemies/whatever that I really hate in a game.

1.) The Flood (Halo)--> every time I play Halo and these guys show up, I always scream. I even have to stop playing and leave to do something else 'cause they were getting on my nerves.
2.) Headcrabs (HL2)--> as creepy as the Flood, but not as bad. At least I can hear them before they pop up. It's still a pain to kill 'cause they jump for your head and you can't really shoot them at that point.
3.) Alma and miscellaneous ghosts (FEAR)--> FEAR will forever be the creepiest game I ever played in my life. But now, these ghosts/spirits/whatever would love to pop out at you when you're so tuned in to the game 'cause you're trying to look out for human enemies
4.) The Apprentice (Soul Calibur 4)--> always take me at least 20min to kill, 'cause this guy is just freakin' good. Wonder what he's like in Force Unleashed
5.) Vampire chick (DMC3)--> imagine the frustrations when I got her down to one last attack and she uses her kiss of death on me.

Gaming Post During Lecture

So, I'm sitting at lecture right now 5 days before midterms. Anywho, no one is really paying attention with the review.

Last night I decided to hit up DMC4 again as my study break. Then I remember why I stopped playing the game for a while. Oh yeah, IT FUCKIN' SUCKS!!!

Sure, the graphics is sooooooooooooooo nice (esp. on my GeForce 8800Gt mua ha ha). The graphics is 500x better than DMC3 hnads down. However, the gameplay SUCKS LIKE HELL.

In DMC3, your first level starts off with you kicking ass out of all these demons. Now, in DMC4, your first level consists of "training shit." I specificallly turned off the training option to avoid this, but NO, the first level consists of "Hit Dante 5 times" and "Jump 5 times." wtf man. I wanna kick butt not jumping around making sure I shoot him exactly 8.8 times while doing a double flip.

Last night pissed me off even more. In most games (ok like 99.9% of all games), you beat the boss, you move on to the next level. That's just the point of having a boss--to prevent you from moving on to the next level. Now, after spending 5 tries attempting to beat this boss, I expected to just jump through the door, and level ends, giving me opportunity to save and I can go back to studying.

Is that the case? NOOOOO. I walk through the door, and there's what seems like 30min of gameplay left of the level w/ more enemies to fight. I got killed again at least 5 more times, and w/ DMC4's lack of friendly save points, I have to start over again to the point where I just finished of the boss. Who the fuck designs this fuckin' game?!?!?!?!?!?

One last word. Dante kicks ass. Nero = annoying whiny wannabe bitch.

I think I might just drop DMC4 and pick up COD4 again. At least, it has REASONABLE save point.
