Thinking I should add phashion to my title?

Work was fairly stellar today other than the super drunk people and usual little old lady. Ok, the little old lady wasn't bad...she's just a character. Also got a counsel bomb...older gentleman with dementia that they prescribed Spiriva for. I foresee bad things happening. I had my show and tell device and went through the whole process but I'm worried about how many of those capsules are going to get swallowed.

My GT should show up at work on Saturday and StitchFix on Monday. Be prepared! Today was chilly outside, so I was able to rock one of my new long sleeved shirts from pinkblush. Felt super cute today, which is rare for me to admit! Here's me!

Surprise back!

Woooo!

Work was its usual blech today. We've been kind of slow lately. I did more dusting today.. Yay. I'd rather be doing something though.  Got a mispick from one of our wholesalers. Instead of divalproex I got flea medication for really big dogs (89-139 lbs). Pretty sure it had an Irish Wolfhound on the box. :) also managed to get a package sent back to us because I put the wrong label on it...and shipped it from the drug store to the drug store.  Oops. My boss laughed at me. :)

GT update!  Last night I finally decided to ask the customer service person in the trading group about my still pending tote. No idea what had happened but today my tote went from processing to shipping. I'm kinda guessing it was probably processed and just got lost in the shuffle. It's also shipping USPS, the much quicker option. Guessing I'll have it next week in plenty of time to go on vacation!

I also received my Grab Bag from White Plum. Got two cute dresses and a red belt as my accessory. The accessory was a but of a cop out in that it just came with the dress but oh well.  The dress with the belt is also WAY outside my comfort zone. So what did I do? Wore it today to work. Got complements but still felt a little odd. What gets me out of my comfort zone? Animal print.  I know I didn't look trashy but I just...let's just say I got through the day. It was a high low dress also which I adore.  I also got a Lumiere maxi in fuschia. The awesome thing about the maxi? It's totally the right length! What this means for anyone who is 5'4" or taller I'm not sure but it's great for me!

StitchFix also sent me my notice that it has shipped! Going to be an awesome week next week! Of course I cheated and looked at my invoice. I'm intrigued by what is in there but a bit apprehensive also. I will be doing a reveal of everything! Going to be some picture loaded posts!

Speaking of pictures, here's a couple of the dresses I got!

Eeek! Animal print!

Pink maxi

Toesies! Without heels! :)

Ugh

Day after a holiday always brings the dreaded backlog of folks at the pharmacy. Today however really wasn't that bad! There were 80 rxs waiting for me on the batch and only 2 erxs so overall not too awful.  Was through most of it by the time I went to lunch.  Several crabbies as always but nothing really awful to deal with.  Worst thing of my day was probably trying to track down information for a patient on meds she picked up while she was overseas. Two of the drugs weren't available in the U.S. Not sure if she's trying to claim them to her insurance or what but the funny part is she very rarely gets meds from us because she's always worried about side effects. Apparently, side effects aren't a big deal when you're in another country. Meh.

Got an order from pink blush today. One item didn't work with the bra I have on but I've got a minimizer that will probably work. Stupid boobs! The rest were awesome though. So 3 out of 4 really isn't too bad. My GT is still pending. I'm thinking there is no way I'm going to get that before I head out on my vacation. Boo hiss. I was really hoping to wear a couple things but oh well.  Other folks are showing their reveals and I've liked a lot of what I've seen. Apparently I was picky with my style profile which is taking longer? Who knows. Just hoping for some super cute stuff. Sigh.

Much needed long weekend

Today's planned activities:  lounging around, enjoying the sunshine, and working out at some point.  That is all. :)

DH is golfing this morning so I'm reading and indulging Mylo in his let's go in/let's go out routine. We're currently in. :)

Friday was a short day of work for me.  Had a jerk of a patient who has lectured me twice about the differences in bioavailability. Both times I felt like commenting that there can be up to twenty percent difference between lots of the same manufacturer as well, but I held my tongue like a good little girl being berated.  I also had the wonder of cryptic faxes. Got a PA rejection notice from a doctor's office. The suggested alternative the patient needed to try and fail was circled on the fax but no new prescription was given. And I was supposed to interpret the circle how?!? Please don't waste my time and yours. Write a prescription if you're going to or don't circle the drug!

Went to a new boutique downtown and bought a super cute tank top. Also bought some much needed undergarments for some of my new clothes. My GT is still pending, meaning it hasn't even been started yet.  Really hoping to get it before my vacation but think that is probably not going to happen.  Did a horrible run yesterday but made it through. I'm thinking I need to do a race at some point. Any good 5ks coming up?

Is it the weekend yet?!?

I'm officially over my people limit. I always get this way towards the end of my 8 day stretch and this week was no different. I'm sorry but if you are under 40 years old, you can split your own gosh darn pills.  Your insurance doesn't care that you're heading out of town unless you're heading out of the country.  I'm glad your last drug store gave you a charge account but that doesn't mean I'm obligated to. If the person with the charge account has staff and you want to know what they charged, ask them. If the phone is ringing and I'm typing and you drop off an Rx, you can't be mad when I tell you 15 minutes. We open at 8, not a couple minutes to 8 since you're there and telling us repeatedly that you called in the prescription isn't going to make us find it any faster. In fact, if you're snotty about it, it just might take longer. We are humans too. Have some kindness and patience for your fellow human being! Ok, rant over.

Got my first order from Jane yesterday! Two super cute 3/4 sleeve dolman tops. Love them. Wore the navy one today with khakis and a coral chevron scarf. Tomorrow I think some jewelry might come in and who knows where my very first order is! No movement on my GT order yet. Did get an email that my Fix is being started soon. All of this activity means my vacation is coming up!!! Wooooo!

Hope everyone enjoys a long weekend! I know I can't wait!

Life is more than a blur.

My CFDA box came in the mail today....and promptly was dropped off at FedEx with its return label. Had to call my Mom to let her know about the box.  She was about as excited as I was and also couldn't believe the contents were as bad as they were. We both concurred someone has probably lost a job over this debacle.

Work sucked today. Combination of super slow and the awfulness of getting played by an addict.  I knew she was playing me, she knew I knew, but it was my story against hers, and there was nothing I could do. My favorite was the no limp on the way in, and the exaggerated limp on the way out. Addicts are just super frustrating to me. There is so much more to live for. Yes, pain is real and chronic but taking too much consistently makes me sad. She said on her way out that she was moving...and sadly a small part of me was glad.

My parting remark...life is too precious to waste. If you need help, get it.

Totes, boxes, disappointments and redemption

I received my May POPSUGAR box this week! Absolutely love the items. Also bought a sweater and dress from the lovely ladies in the GT trading group. I've already worn the sweater-a blush/cream sweater from Lumiere. It's super soft and comfy and was great for the cooler weather we've had lately. Paired it with a gray pencil skirt an a necklace that I got from work. So, those things were YAY!

And then the bad.  The spoilers were released for the CFDA box that I was so excited about....and the excitement faded quickly.  The contents were nowhere near as great as I thought they would be. In fact, I thought the stuff was kinda crummy. So I emailed the company...along with quite a few other folks. For once, a company listened to their customers and they are accepting returns on the box.  They even attached my mailing label to the email. I'm usually not one of those super complainers, in fact I'm usually really good at seeing the bright side....but this was such a letdown I couldn't just let it slide.  My box is actually still in transit but as soon as I have it, it'll be going back. Some of you out there probably thinking it's silly of me to just send it back but I totally can't see myself using a 70 dollar burlap shopping bag...

To make matters even worse, this all happened on Monday...which was supposed to be tote day. Their systems crashed and burned...so tote day was postponed. Just wasn't my day!

However! They moved tote day to today! It's my day off so I was on right away. Had a couple issues ordering but ended up splurging and getting two totes (hey, I'm sending my box back...it's justified!). I did make an error and missed the fact that the white bf jeans were back in stock and a dress I wanted also but I'm sure it'll be fine. One of my requests in my StitchFix was white jeans so hopefully it'll work out!

I also bought a couple things from a new company that I was just introduced to, Jane.  They had a mystery grab bag from west plum for 15 with shipping. I also picked out a couple shirts and necklaces.  I'm not out much if I don't like the stuff. Hopefully it'll be better than my ModCloth grab bag...although I did try on the beautiful coat they sent me and I can button the waist button now! By fall, maybe it'll work?!? :)

As far as work goes, my boss is gone so I'm taking over a lot of her stuff. No pressure there!  Had my usual uneventful evening with just a hiccup or two with one phone call from a particularly challenging customer.  Since I had the day off though I didn't have to deal with it today! Awful of me, I know.  No idea how the weekend will go.  Supposed to be warm and thunderstorms on Saturday, cooler again on Sunday. There are quite a few grad parties in the area. Kinda hoping for a quiet weekend to tell the truth! Fairly newb intern always creates more work.

So that's me in a nutshell! I'm wondering if my GT or StitchFix will come first. Reviews will come regardless!
