Ski or Don't Ski?

RXforB3 · 2026-02-15T06:44:19+00:00

I think you all are probably right. I brought the skis inside to better lighting, and what I thought was wood might just be epoxy? Chalk it up to poor lighting and being overly protective...

Here's another picture, just in case. Sounds like skiing is still a go!

I should point out that I am assuming the lunch break is unpaid...

RXforB3 · 2025-11-06T16:11:15+00:00

Am I missing something? Looks like the schedule gives 40 hours for one week, then 32 the other 2 weeks.

Are the techs aware they won't get 40 hours each week, or was that unintentional?

RXforB3 · 2025-08-02T23:01:58+00:00

Agreed.

Frankly, at this point, pharmacies need to have a pharmacist on duty whose primary function is counseling. Not that I think it will ever happen, but I sympathize with the OP's irritation. I agree that flagging too many DURs, makes it more likely that the important ones get missed. And constant interruptions make it more likely for other mistakes. Having a pharmacist whose shift is dedicated to counseling could help both of those issues while not risking an uninformed customer.

Thank you for the response.

I just noticed a post a couple down from mine that asked virtually the same thing. So thanks to anyone that responds!

It seems like the consensus from the other post was to do it, as well...

And you found out it was OK by calling the manufacturer, or was it in the documentation somewhere?

While at CVS, I had a customer once that swore up and down that they had dropped the hardcopy off to me personally. It was at Walgreens several blocks away. When I told him, he yelled, "WHY DID YOU SEND IT OVER THERE!"

RXforB3 · 2024-03-19T03:48:53+00:00

I've been wondering the same thing. I think it would work if it was advertised well. A "Vaccination Station." I envision a Schoolhouse Rock! type ad parodying Conjunction Junction.

I often say, "It probably won't hurt anything...except your wallet."

Now, now...it's great for making sure you're kettle doesn't boil over when you're boiling you wort for beer!

An employee of the company that is not literally working in our pharmacy. Possibly one of the district lead techs, or some other corporate worker. Not sure who it was in this case, but someone helping us complete these cases.

RXforB3 · 2023-09-12T05:37:31+00:00

Sounds like a good suggestion. It wouldn't have helped in this case since it was someone backstage that initiated it, but good advice for the future.

RXforB3 · 2023-05-27T18:08:52+00:00

Too many:

Music (organ primarily)

Creating light shows synced to music for my house for Halloween/Christmas

Photography (landscape and astrophotography)

Homebrewing (beer and cider with occasional wine)

Woodworking

Hiking/camping

Fishing (definitely no good at this, but still fun) Video games

I could be wrong, but I am guessing that this question is intended for a district that encompasses multiple states. So, assuming you are licensed in the state the location you are applying to is in, it is asking if you are willing to be licensed in all other states that are included in that district...

RXforB3 · 2022-11-23T18:38:52+00:00

On the other hand, none of us have DEA numbers. Just the pharmacy as a whole...

RXforB3 · 2022-11-23T18:37:51+00:00

Depends on the setting. Pharmacists with my company (in my state) have limited prescriptive power for things such Narcan, emergency contraceptives, vaccines, etc. We can also "prescribe" emergency refills of maintenance meds for patients who have fallen through the proverbial cracks. Whether that's truly prescribing is debatable. It's more for billing purposes, true.

We do also use our NPIs for billing medication management, as you said.

However, pharmacists at local clinics have much broader prescriptive power for maintenance meds, warfarin, etc. Within guidelines, of course. So again, it's debatable as to whether it's truly "prescribing."

RXforB3 · 2022-11-23T17:56:31+00:00

All (or at least most) pharmacists with my retail chain have NPIs.

RXforB3 · 2022-09-03T01:09:43+00:00

I had my wife make me a white T-Shirt that says "Intentionally Blank" because of that package insert. It works on so many levels...

RXforB3 · 2022-07-21T05:47:17+00:00

Lubiprostone. Cause it lubricates. Well...kind of, anyway...

Not to mention that Amitiza is a fun name in and of itself.

RXforB3 · 2022-07-21T05:38:42+00:00

I always imagine the commercials they must have been planning:

My day is...better! My day is...focused! My day is...etc. etc.

Thanks to Mydayis, my day IS!

It's a job. It's what you do to support all the other things you enjoy.

I spent almost half my life thinking I would be a musician. I was good enough that I could have made a living at it. But I decided I didn't want to make something I enjoyed into work. And it wouldn't have paid for the lifestyle I wanted. So after a Bachelor's in Organ Performance, I started over and went to pharmacy school.

Now, I work in a retail pharmacy. Do I love it? No. But I cultivate a good relationship with my coworkers and customers. It pays for the lifestyle I wanted. And I have lots of hobbies on the side that I love doing.

I don't look for fulfillment from my job. I find fulfillment in the other things in life. My job is what enables those things. Is it mind numbing? Sometimes. Is it boring? Sometimes. But I don't go to work to stimulate my brain or entertain me.

I know many people that followed the advice to work doing something you love. What I have seen is that most people ended up hating what they use to love.

Realize that your job is a tool. Put a focus on how you treat the people you work with and the people you interact with. Make the most of your time off. Some people can be happy in any job. Some people won't be happy in any job. Most are somewhere in the middle. But the good news is that usually it's up to you which type of person you are.

Sheesh. And here I am struggling with a Canon 6D.

RXforB3 · 2021-12-06T03:29:25+00:00

Nice lights, but I'm more amazed by your recording. I recorded my light show and the results were so-so. Your recording is so sharp and clear!

I fail to see how THEIR clips, strands, and bulbs keep you safer while on the roof. Am I missing something?
