I wish I had a funny story or something

My only current stories are pharmacy related. Most are only funny to other pharmacists and don't really make good blogging material. Hey, that reminds me of a screenplay I want to write...

It's going to be a network TV drama all about being a pharmacist. Since all cool shows are done only on a coast or in Chicago I guess the setting will have to be...New York City. "NY Pharmacy" or something like that.

The pilot episode will introduce "Jack", the hero pharmacist. He is driving to work when all of a sudden he witnesses a terrible car-wreck. Using the emergency medical kit that every Hollywood pharmacist carries in his car he whips out the cell phone inside and calls a paramedic. He then stands there and watches the paramedic dramatically save the injured pedestrian, the whole time laughing to himself because has absolutely no blood on him. In addition, since he is on salary, he realizes is still getting paid for this. Cut to Jack getting into his Escalade and driving to work.

Anyone know how to make some money?

If you know a way to make lots of money without having to deal with "customers" please let me know. In addition, not having to worry about "results" or having a "work-ethic" would be nice too. Lets get them suggestions rolling!

Customers Suck

To the woman in the drive through lane in my pharmacy yesterday...I have some news for you. Just because your doctor wrote a prescription for something does not mean you automatically get it for free on your "public insurance". How hard is it to pony-up $2.99 for a bottle of hand-lotion? Especially if your child has eczema and needs it? And while we are on the subject, how does screaming at the cashier (who actually has a JOB) or the pharmacist (who actually has a JOB) going to help? Maybe you should climb your fat lazy ass out of your Eddie Baur Explorer (that I paid for) and buy it yourself. Is it the fact that you are too busy planning your Vegas vacation (that I paid for) while talking on your cell phone (that I paid for)? Or maybe your $200 clothing ensemble (that I paid for) used up all of your discretionary spending money (that I gave you)?

Maybe I am exaggerating a little but come on people! How does it benefit me to not sell you something covered on your "insurance"? If its not covered, I make no money...why would I make that up?
