I'm in it to win it, bitches

So today I had in mind of making sure that my pay-raise was final – and it damn sure had to be done today because we only have someone in-store that is competent enough to do it one day per week. So of course I ran to the HR person with an e-mail in my hot little hands stating my new bankflow, etc etc. She takes it from my hand, clears her throat and selectively reads the following line from the entire e-mail: “If this is not a rehire, you will not have to manually change the payrate, corporate will automatically do so” and then looked at me with a shit-eating grin. I cleared my throat and said “the last time I checked my sundial, this is June and it hasn’t “automatically” done so it itself…so could you do that for me without being a smartass? Kthxbai” and left to count hydrocodone by the baker’s dozen. I will outsmartass your smartass – I’m in it to win it, bitches.

The other day we had a prescription for phentermine 37.5 mg bid. The problem with this is that there’s no reason to take much over 30 mg in a day, even if your weight loss doctor (who may have built his practice on this drug) writes for it that way. You can halve the tablets and then take it twice a day, sure. Patients and doctors alike are guilty of harboring the fallacy that “If I take more drug, I’ll get more better.” Not with phentermine, but you may get “more higher” - I’ll give you that one. This is like the pain management doc who wrote for Lorcet 5/500 – its one of the most frequent drugs the doc writes and he still screws it up. Whats the answer? E-scribing (NO)? Training wheels aka preprinted scripts? (teehee) I dunno. The dude’s got a doctorate and he has an Rx pad with his name on it – not me.
