Really people?!

The names of people and medications have been changed to protect the stupid:

Phone call last night:
Me: Thank you for calling...how may I help you?
Patient: Do you have any Xdrug?
Me: What strength?
Patient: I don't know.
Me: Well then I can't tell you if we have it.
Patient: Hang on. (Yells to her dad...what strength?...because they need to know...the people....the people at the pharmacy....to see if they have it) 5mg
Me: How many do you need?
Patient: 90
Me: Sorry, we don't. We filled another prescription earlier today for 90 and we only have 10 left and we won't have anymore until Friday.
Patient: Well is the prescription you filed earlier for Jane Smith because I dropped one off first thing this morning.
Me: Yes. Your prescription is ready.
(Ok normally the appropriate first question is 'do you have a prescription for Jane Smith ready?') Goodness people! Oh but wait, I'm not done with lil Miss Smith.

Today:
Patient at the pick up window: I need to pick up a prescription.
Tech: What is the last name and date of birth?
Patient: Smith, 12/1/1991
Technician: What is the first name?
Patient: Either Nathan, John, or Victoria
Tech: Who?
Patient: Nathan, John, or Victoria
Tech: That's not what I have in the system.
Patient: Well, is it under Jane?
Tech: yes....

Scariest part...this chick is 17 years old!!! She is entering the real world in a matter of months! Look out...they are walking among you!


On a different note, we walked through the new house for the first time Saturday when my parents were in town. It was lots of fun...the studs are up so you can distinguish rooms and the general layout. The roof is probably finished by now...it was almost done this morning when I drove by. EJ drove by this afternoon and the exterior doors and windows were installed. They are putting in bathtubs tomorrow, HVAC Thursday and Friday, and electrical Monday. I think they will be bricking this week too. And we have a hopeful looker at our current house that wants to close by the end of the month...bring it on!
