Well, my pharmacy is getting smarter lol. Did I mention I think there is a note attached to my file about who can talk to me? I’ve had to go to the pharmacy a lot in the recent days (more than normal) and the pharmacist (the one I didn’t have a problem with) is always the one to wait on me. In fact, I even heard her tell another she’d wait on me the other day. It’s also worth nothing I have not seen the pharm tech working who talked to me like a dog. I have a suspicion she has been reprimanded with a suspension. I doubt she’s lost her job, but I did have phone records, timestamps etc. for the actual phone call. They can hear how awful she talked to me. The district manager promised to take care of the situation for me, and left me with her number so I could text her about my medicine so I could know who is working if I didn’t want to deal with the other pharmacist.

I know I shouldn’t be happy about it, but I really do think that pharmacy tech deserved a talking to, and reprimanded as well as the pharmacist. I saw the other pharmacist yesterday when my mom went to pick up her medicine. She looked very concentrated and not at all her normal, obnoxious self. I kid you not when I say I’ve watched her make comments about people/things and in a loud voice be very flamboyant, including one time she threw up hands up and said “It’s everyday people. DRAMAAAA”. I couldn’t believe she was a pharmacist when I first saw her! Hopefully, it’s not just in my head and my complaint did something to better their professionalism. It really was lacking.

I mentioned they are getting smarter. They had a medicine ready for me, but it was a lower dose of a medicine I already have. I explained I already picked up my medicine, and they realized it was a mistake. She did offer it to me if I needed it, but I was honest and told her I didn’t. It was a pleasant experience and I didn’t have any issue. I appreciated that.

On one level, I feel bad I have “bad blood” with workers there. On yet another level, I am glad they realize their behavior is not appropriate for everyone. Some many enjoy their antics, I did not. I worked with a teacher who was like that. Somehow she got away with poking fun at students and being borderline rude. Some kids enjoyed it, some did not. However, it didn’t stop her from doing it, and I know of at least one student who left that school because nothing would be done about her teasing. To be absolutely fair, she was not doing it to be malicious, but it was not becoming of her. She also was the gossip queen and would talk about students (confidential information) in the hallway as they passed. It really was an issue.

Anyway, went to the store for the third time this week for my mom. I really get annoyed with that, but it is what it is. I was already out. At least we have a kitchen stocked with everything I could possibly want and all necessities taken care of. I shouldn’t have to go out again anytime soon. It’s gonna be crappy weather anyway.

I don’t know what I am going to do with the rest of my day. I am playing some games in German to practice since I am rather well versed in grammatical constructions and sentence structure and some mainstay vocabulary. I find myself impressed with how much I understand without translation, but of course there is plenty of vocabulary I’m trying to absorb. The issue with German is that prefix + common verb is a popular thing that changes the meaning all together. A good example:
the verb: suchen – to search, to look for
however
versuchen – to try, besuchen – to visit, aussuchen – to choose ,heraussuchen – to look out for, untersuchen – to investigate…you get the point. Lots of verbs do this and radically change the meaning. Another good example is stehen – to stand, but verstehen – to understand. I guess there is some type of correlation there (to underSTAND) but in English, I do not correlate the two, you know?

It’s helpful though to expand vocabulary!

I guess I’ll spend my day playing with that !
