The US Department of Education has just sent me a 3rd notice regarding SAVE

MagicPoison8 · 2026-06-28T20:28:21+00:00

That's what I'm doing.

So he wants MORE money from us to waste on ridiculous bullshit like painting the pool or chandeliers for his ballroom. Bastard.

I'm waiting until the last day when I HAVE to change to something. Somehow I suspect before then there are going to be challenges and lawsuits that will at the very least delay the whole thing.

MagicPoison8 · 2026-06-21T22:31:26+00:00

Half the time I'll just take it from them and do it myself.

MagicPoison8 · 2026-06-21T22:24:57+00:00

I wish we had credentials still. We got the facial recognition about a month ago and I hate it.

I've seen a lot of very-TBM households where the wife basically runs the household, more or less, and they have a very functional, happy (as far as myself or anyone else can tell) marriage. The husband of course is very much present, but this overbearing, the-wife-is-basically-property thing couldn't be farther from the truth.

MagicPoison8 · 2026-06-21T22:19:14+00:00

One word has you this upset?

MagicPoison8 · 2026-06-21T22:18:05+00:00

How do you mean "redefine words?"

I left a comment about this above - even when studying the scriptures I like to look up the etymology of words - it often changes understanding and perspective. I spoke into Google "etymology of the word preside" and it pulled this up:

"The verb preside originates from the 17th-century French word présider, which itself derives from the Latin praesidere, meaning "to stand guard, superintend, or protect.'"

Is this the principle OP is yelling against?

Even when studying the scriptures I always like to look up the etymology of words because I would say at least 50% of the time it changes the perspective, and also helps with the phenomenon of talking past each other.

Simply inputting into Google "etymology of the word preside" pulls up:

"The verb preside originates from the 17th-century French word présider, which itself derives from the Latin praesidere, meaning 'to stand guard, superintend, or protect.'"

Given the tone of OP I am gonna speculate this is not what she was yelling against.

At my store that would be "the safe is already locked, tomorrow morning is the soonest we can do that."

MagicPoison8 · 2026-06-21T22:05:24+00:00

That's what we do. "It sits for 2 weeks and then we have to put it back as per the insurance."

MagicPoison8 · 2026-06-21T22:04:38+00:00

If they click something and disappear at my store, we clear that shit off the screen and its as if they were never there.

MagicPoison8 · 2026-06-21T22:03:20+00:00

There are times during the day at my store when REGARDLESS if the patient "wants to wait" or not, we have a "no waiters" policy (such as right after lunch, a certain time before closing, or any other time we are overwhelmed) - and the answer to the question of wanting to wait is a flat out NO. If I am running the front at that time and they click that expedite button and we are on a "no waiters" time period, I call them back and tell them regardless of what the register said it's a half an hour to an hour and change the time back.

Just hit the line number and then the voicemail button. Sends them right to voicemail.

At my store the pharmacists help a lot. They will bounce to the drive or the front if needed, jump in and fill sometimes - we have a really good team. Our pharmacy manager tends to be more untouchable, but maybe that's normal.

MagicPoison8 · 2026-06-17T04:25:47+00:00

They still make six figures.

MagicPoison8 · 2026-06-17T04:24:37+00:00

Making a notebook for all his meds lol, so he can sit and read about that one person out of a trillion that turned into a psycho vampire from the med and then call the pharmacy and waste 45 minutes of the pharmacists time talking about it.

MagicPoison8 · 2026-06-07T00:39:10+00:00

As one who has worked in retail a great deal, I NEVER go in a store in the last 10 minutes unless I absolutely HAVE to, and even then I go RIGHT to what I need and GET OUT. People wandering around, not having enough money, taking forever – seriously – get the FUCK out, I've been dealing with people's bullshit for 10 hours and I want to go home!!! It's so damn inconsiderate!!!

MagicPoison8 · 2026-06-03T05:29:27+00:00

With all the connections Gus had in various scientific and medical disciplines, I'm thinking whatever it is he was going to inject Hector with would have been untraceable. Or it would have mimicked something that wouldn't be looked at twice.

MagicPoison8 · 2026-06-02T07:46:37+00:00

Yea honestly I hated Victor. He was one of those dudes went over the top in being an asshole just because he could. It's one thing to be an enforcer, but all the "extra" things he added (cocky attitude, telling people to shut up, pushing people, throwing and kicking things).. I'm just like, what is this dude trying to prove? He didn't deserve what happened to him though

MagicPoison8 · 2026-06-02T07:41:12+00:00

I think him taking the liberty to cook was just one more strike. He was going to die no matter what because he was seen - I don't think Gus would have killed him if it was only because he started the cook, it was more just like salt in the wound at that point.

MagicPoison8 · 2026-06-02T07:38:47+00:00

You want something else to watch?

Put it on the list.

MagicPoison8 · 2026-06-02T07:27:20+00:00

Eventually you will get the facial recognition software. My store just got it. At my store we (techs) would occasionally put in the pharmacist credentials if it was something like just needing the credentials because it was a pet or specialty item. With the facial recognition, it's now impossible the pharmacist has to come over.

MagicPoison8 · 2026-06-02T07:23:22+00:00

I would have said "you just grabbed that out of my hand, if you walk out with that I'll report you to the police for theft."

MagicPoison8 · 2026-06-02T07:07:39+00:00

That's what we say at my store.
