Saw someone's username on Snapchat that was "Ohmyhole" and read it as "Omeprazole", so yeah, I've been working too much.

How I look working the Drive Thru at my pharmacy
My mom works as a pharmacy tech, so she had to memorize the names of pretty much every medication. So now whenever we are watching a TV show, whenever they mention the name of a medication my dad and I look at her like
Pharmacy Things (details changed for privacy):
Customer calls on behalf of their spouse, wanting Spouse's migraine medicine. Look through their profile, Spouse has no active prescriptions and no refills. I tell the customer that. This dude responds "can't I just buy a few over the counter? That's what I usually do." NO it is a prescription only medicine. I transfer him to the pharmacist, and she tells him the same thing
A month later, same customer calls for the exact same thing.
Had a prescription sent in but the name was something like "Jane Doe Baby Kim" with a recent date of birth (like 02/02/2026), where Jane Doe was the mother I think?? But we can't fill prescriptions like that.
Medications be like
"This one used to be for Big Sads but side effect was Heckn Sleepy so now it's for sleep unless it's for depression then idk"
"This one is a blood pressure medication. Do NOT mix it with Aspirin. Unless your doctor says so"
"Honestly we have no idea why this one works for seizures but it does, put it in your mouth"
"This one is a capsule with a pill in it DO NOT. Take The Pill Out."
Listen, I love my job.
But we really are a bunch of neurodivergent freaks.
I'd say that it's not really possible to end up working in pharmacy and not be neurodivergent, but one of my pharmacists is blatantly neurotypical. And he stands out like a sore thumb.
The book I wrote is actually on Amazon now! It described issues I've noticed in the pharmacy through the lens of my CS degree
It's also that book I talked about with design decisions specifically to screw with AI models. I'll make a video to describe it for Monday!
