Even though I'm not a Dr. Seuss fan...
Oh The Things You Can Fill
Dr. Seuss on Pharmacy, Author unknown
Oh the things you can fill
For the folks who are ill.
With your bright shiny spatula
Oh, what a thrill.
Besmocked and bedecked
Out in Pharmacist clothes,
Knowing all of the things
That a Pharmacist knows.
You're quick and efficient,
You're sharp and inventive.
It also just happens
You're anal retentive.
You read slips of paper
To get the specifics
From doctors who scribble out
Strange hieroglyphics.
Could it be Celebrex?
Or maybe Celexa
It might be a Z-Pack,
It might be Zyprexa.
And you bill by computer
AWP
Minus 15 percent
Plus a buck twenty-three.
You fill and you bill
And you feel so dejected
'Cause half of your claims
Are being rejected.
So you pick up the phone
While computerized voices
Keep you waiting forever
Explaining the choices.
Press 1 for directions.
Or maybe it's 2.
Push 'pound' for a message
Oh, what should you do.
Then you pour out the pills
On your pill counting tray
And you count, and you count,
And you count pills all day.
You count them by fives
To the rhythm and beat
Of the songs that you learned
On Sesame Street.
And the customers gripe
And complain while you're fillin'.
Could it be the whole world
Is on 'Grouchacillin?'
"My pills are too big
And my co-pay's too high!
Take it four times a day?
I cannot comply!"
Then you scarf down your sandwich
In one single bite,
Which if done in a restaurant
Would be impolite.
But a Doc's on line one,
Mrs. Jones on line two.
She has 500 pills,
Will you cut them in two?
And the drug reps, they tap
On your counter, tap, tap.
To give you their spiel
Plus a load of free crap!
There's pens and there's post-its,
There's free stuff galore.
But the really cool clock's
For the doc who's next door.
Then ol' Mrs. Snifflemore
Gives you that smile
And you know once again
That it's almost worthwhile.
So you hang up your smock
And put down your free pen.
Tomorrow you'll do it
All over again.
Oh the things you will fill
For the folks who are ill.
With your bright shiny spatula
Oh, what a thrill!

Goodbye youth...
1. I love to eat vegetables. Grown-up ones like squash, zucchini, broccoli, spinach, peas...all the things I hated as a kid.
2. My night is over at 9:00. Period. That doesn't mean I'm asleep by then (wouldn't that be lovely?) but rather that I would simply laugh in the face of any friend calling to say, "We're going to see this movie and then build a bonfire and then watch the meteor shower that starts at 3:00 in the morning, and maybe stop off at IHOP on the way home. Then we'll go home and sleep for few hours before getting up to go to that all-day event that starts at 10:00 tomorrow."
You get the picture.
3. Often times I prefer listening to talk radio or *gasp* NO radio. There's not a whole lot of music on the radio worth listening to these days.
4. I LOVE documentaries. Really, I do. And it doesn't matter if they're about history, nature and ecology, science, fashion, sports, politics, food, culture, or the rise of the underdog. It helps that we're too poor to go to movies like we used to, and that Netflix has a plethora of documentaries ready to watch at any moment. Here's just a few that I've watched. The King of Kong (I loved, loved, LOVED this one!), Pulling John (who knew Salt Lake was home to such a champion?), Grey Gardens (talk about your hoarders, wow), Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead (I'm this close to investing in an industrial juicer!), Food, Inc. and at this very moment I'm watching A State of Mind. It is almost inconceivable to hear the citizens of North Korea say that any suffering their country has experienced or will experience is due entirely to the United States and the United States alone. Though that's not what the movie is about. It's really about training for a HUGE, crazily-choreographed show that is put on each year. Truly fascinating.
5. I drive slowly through neighborhoods. There's small kids out there, you know.
6. My Christmas season is quite complete without eating a single candy cane.
7. I worry about things like bills and taking on massive student debt, instead of buttering up my parents to pay tuition like I did in the early days. (It's nice being one of the youngest, and therefore, more spoiled.)
8. I'd rather eat oatmeal for breakfast than Lucky Charms. I can still enjoy a sugary bowl of the Charms, but just not as a start to my day.
9. I think it's rewarding to pull weeds in my garden, although I would rather they not grow at all.
10. When we went to Disney World last summer, I preferred the slow "floating boat" rides like "It's a Small World" to any of the roller coasters-too fast and jerky for me.
