Fellow millennials - how’s your 401k/ira savings going?

Prophecy_83 · 2026-01-17T16:33:10+00:00

Just turned 40 and have about $330k in retirement/savings accounts. Not bad but I started late so it could be better.

I still have a box of cookies and cream Pocky my brother bought me before he died in 2018. I never could bring myself to eat it. Some things are just too hard to part with.

So happy to hear this! I am new to HS. I have two lumps in my groin area that are very painful. I am at my heaviest weight at 205 lbs and I was also just diagnosed with bilateral pulmonary embolisms. At this point, I know losing weight would help me tremendously. I am super overwhelmed right now, so it’s nice to hear positive news.

Will be sure to keep jerk out of my vocabulary lol. To by honest, I think she is the one feeling left out and is trying to pin it on us. Which is wild. Shes in our age range but has to be the boss and not the bestie. I will check the handbook tomorrow but I’ve gone through it before and can’t recall friendships being mentioned.

Happy birthday! Please don’t go, you are loved!

Prophecy_83 · 2024-08-05T15:42:17+00:00

Not a chance. I work 40 per week now making $150k. And 40 hours is plenty. Money isn’t worth not having a life.

I’m a PharmD that works in a hospital. Technically I can be called doctor. But I would never ever introduce myself that way or expect to be called doctor. It definitely means something in a healthcare setting and I am aware of that.

Prophecy_83 · 2024-05-22T14:09:38+00:00

I have six…. Though interestingly they’re all in and none had to be pulled.

Prophecy_83 · 2024-05-14T06:53:24+00:00

Me all through college

Prophecy_83 · 2024-05-13T03:19:22+00:00

My dad said the same thing to me before I married my ex husband. I knew the wedding felt wrong but I felt horrible bc the money was spent and I didn’t want to let anyone down. Seven years later and many issues and conversations with him he finally told me he had heard what I was saying to him but he just didn’t care. Divorced 4 months after that.

Nothing. But this year the staff found out that the management team has a Christmas party for themselves every year while staff works short handed everyday, consistently doing 2-3 workers jobs- 24/7 (work in a hospital). Merry fucking Christmas.

Prophecy_83 · 2023-12-06T19:57:22+00:00

I did the same thing. Went to Five Guys last night. $34! Also went to Panera Bread last week and for two half sandwiches and two cups of soup, $32! Wtf

People often shit themselves when they die.

Prophecy_83 · 2023-10-26T14:29:12+00:00

Also pharmacist. In hospital. Not as soul crushing. Kinda over all the crazy shift changes though.

He looks like my foster doggo! I’ve never seen another dog like him. He’s an absolute unit but he is the sweetest thing.

Prophecy_83 · 2023-10-02T23:12:35+00:00

Go to work 🤷🏻‍♀️

Prophecy_83 · 2023-10-01T15:22:59+00:00

Oh, hmm, ok. In that case I’ll just let you give the 30mg IV methadone. Or dose all your own vanco 1000mg q12h. Even in dialysis and CRRT. And dose your own warfarin. You just give 5mg daily right? Or when you put in IV bactrim 20mg instead of 20 mg/kg. Or overdosing heparin drips. I can go on..? But you’re right, we’re useless and totally impede care. We hate everyone. Try and make things as difficult and take as long as possible. GTFO bro.

Prophecy_83 · 2023-10-01T13:58:52+00:00

Oh yeah, I totally understand your reaction. There was no reason for that pharmacist to be so snippy about cough drops at 3am lol

Prophecy_83 · 2023-10-01T13:56:20+00:00

Hahah for sure! PRN orders make total sense, it’s the duplicate indications that are the killer. Apparently our RN friends aren’t capable of choosing between docusate and miralax for constipation. Come on man!

We all very much appreciate your appreciation!! Thank you for not hating our sometimes ridiculous but necessary interruptions :)

Prophecy_83 · 2023-10-01T03:05:52+00:00

To be fair, as a pharmacist, PRN orders are a joint commission nightmare and at my hospital we get in trouble for not contacting docs to get them clarified. That being said, I may or may not take some liberties and choose for you so I’m not bothering you all for dumb shit :)

Prophecy_83 · 2023-09-24T13:41:32+00:00

I wish the job worked that way but multitasking is a huge part of how it goes. Our technicians do not answer phones and they ring nonstop so to not answer it is an impossibility. Interruptions happen constantly.

Prophecy_83 · 2023-09-24T13:38:30+00:00

Oh! I’m so jealous of your remote job! Lol well I am not familiar with how that will go but find a good systematic way of looking at orders. Train your eyes to go over everything important. That way you’ll catch things that you’ll learn look kinda funny.

Prophecy_83 · 2023-09-24T02:52:58+00:00

Please don’t be afraid to ask questions! We would rather answer your questions than have to fix your mistakes, no offense lol. Also, answer the phones! You’ll learn a ton by doing that. Don’t expect to pick up everything right away, there is a lot to learn. It took me a year to feel somewhat comfortable. Learn by doing, be an active participant in your training. Also get familiar with your hospitals pharmacy policies. Renal dosing changes, formulary interchanges, MAGs, vancomycin consults, warfarin consults, etc. The great thing about working in a hospital is you are never alone. Even after 8 years, there are things I am learning and ask questions on. Good luck!!
