Two Hours Until Friday
One more day of house sitting and then Eddie and I can sleep in our own bed.
Tomorrow is going to be hectic. Eddie works until 4pm and I’m in there until 6pm. He’s coming back to Mom’s house and grabbing our things and getting stuff straightened up, and then when I get there we’ll feed Mom’s zoo, pack up our animals and go back to our place with Mom’s truck. We’ll figure out what to have for dinner, then we’ll catch a showing of Wanted and spend the night at our house. Saturday we’ll drive back down to Mom’s, let in whatever cats may be outside, let out whoever wants/needs to go out, get my still-unfinished truck from my Dad, then pick up Mom and Brian at the airport. Mom already declared that she won’t be cooking, so we’ll probably get some pizza for dinner.
Sunday Eddie will be working, and I’ll spend the day sewing up the curtains that I probably should have done this week, had I not left the sewing machine in the truck. We got very little done downstairs at the new place. Eddie did a 3rd coat on one of the dark blue walls (it really needed it) before he had to stop because of a headache, and I put up the cork board and did nothing else.
This week has been filled with total losers and sucktastic death at work. One of our nicest customers died this week, prompting us to ask why the assholes are immortal but the sweet people end up dying young. We had a guy completely lie about his narcotics, resulting in 2 calls to his MD before we finally got to rip up his scripts and pissing him off. Cue another 2 or 3 or 15 people who want to try to get early refills on their narcotics by coming to our store and trying to pay cash after forgetting that we have their insurance info on file and big notes in their profiles saying “likes to shop around for percocet and oxycontin” so we know that they’re losers.
Add the psycho bitch scamming gods-know how many stores buying glucometers with a coupon to get them for $9.99 and arguing with cashiers about how because they’re on sale for $9.99 and the coupon says she gets it for $9.99, she actually gets it for free. She’s yelling “but it’s a manufacturer’s coupon! It’s free! You’ll get reimbursed up to $65 dollors it says!” Um, no, sorry, do not pass Go, do not collect your free Freestyle meter, and get the hell out of my store. It took me, the pharmacist, the assistant store manager, and someone from the meter’s manufacturer to get her out of the store, and she left without the meters because we wouldn’t cave. There’s absolutely no reason in the world a woman needs to buy 2 meters at once (and I’m certain that had we had more than that in stock she would have bought more) and carry around 5 of the same coupon in her bag unless she’s planning on returning the meters to get the full price of $75 refunded to her.
Losers with a capital L.
