I need drugs to deal with the drugstore.

CVS is grinding on my last nerve. Their pharmacy is staffed with brain dead morons. I was trying to fill a new dosage for a current medication but since I had gotten a refill from the old dosage too recently, it was denied. Why couldn't they tell me this when I dropped off the prescription? Now they won't even return that prescription to me. They said they don't have my phone number and couldn't call me and tell me about the situation. Big fat whatever. Then why was I getting missed calls from their pharmacy's number? I would have brought that up, but I was running late and needed to dash. Maybe I should switch to Walgreens. Yeah, I'll do that. Walgreens is closer to me anyway.

Then I went to my bank which was admirable customer service but the line was slow because it's payday Friday and of course, there are people trying to use my bank without bank accounts there. Argh.

While I'm on a roll, don't press those buttons for handicapped individuals to automatically open doors if you're not handicapped. You look like a lazy tool. Thank you. This happened a lot at college because the campus had a lot of those press button doors, but I don't see that as much where I am now.

Have a good weekend! I know I will. :)

Trick or treat

Happy Halloween! What did everyone dress up as? I didn't dress up this year, and I'm sad about it. Next year. Even though I said that last year.

Time Out

In the lobby this evening, a lady was trying to wrangle her two toddler sons. One was screaming and crying his eyes out. Unfortunately this group got on the elevator with me and two other guys. The screaming boy shrieked "Stupid Mommy!" and wouldn't shut up. The older boy agreed with his mom that the younger boy needed a time out. Man, if my kid called me stupid, in front of strangers.... Yes, I wish I lived in a family-free building.

30 days and 30 nights

Is there any interest in participating in NanBloPoMo? Basically you post a blog entry every day for the month of November. And since there are three of us, we only have to do 1/3 (or 0.3333333333) of the labor. And we can put a cute image on the blog.

Off to work now. Don't have a case of the Mondays!

Did I ask for your help? No!

Lately I've been annoyed by people trying to help me when I didn't need their help. Let me explain by using these case-in-points.

1. I left the ladies' room at a clothing store. My friend remarked that the handicapped sign on the door was messed up, so I decided to look at the men's room door to see if its handicapped sign was altered as well. A boy leaving the men's room looked at me, then looked at me again and stated, "This is the men's room." "I know," I replied snidely. Seriously. Do I look like that dumb? If I had a quicker wit, I'd shoot back, "I'm a man in drag."

2. Today in the library, I decided to leave the computer lab and head to the study carrels. I left part of my backpack unzipped since I wasn't moving very far. A man walking behind me said my backpack was unzipped. Duh. I used the "I know" line again. In this situation, I think the man was trying to be helpful, but I didn't want to hear it.

Maybe I'm anti-unsolicited help.
