Pharmacist who loves bears. Has excellent glitter control. Roller Derby. Hungry celiac/crohny. The last mermaid-jedi-princess-ninja-pirate-unicorn. MN to AK.
Iโm starting a website called Only Phans for pharmacists who want to get out of retail by reading package inserts topless with pill bottle lids taped over their nipples.
I donโt know who needs to hear this, but stop asking the pharmacy to ring up your groceries. Weโre busy trying to immunize people with covid shots plus our normal prescription filling! JUST๐STOP๐!!!
Anyone who works in healthcare during this pandemic deserves to have their student loans forgiven.
I canโt even imagine what the front line workers in the hospital are dealing with.
I will 100% vouch that retail pharmacists are exhausted.
Thank you for calling Alaska, home of Miss America, a 17 yr old gold medal Olympic swimmer, and a bunch of mediocre, grifting local politicians. How may we help you today?
No F*cks left, flat out told someone itโs rude to go without a mask in store with cold symptoms. Idiots like this are why we are stuck in this chaos.
Iโm done with people. Dogs only.
I borrowed $189,312 to study pharmacy with my sweet, sweet summer child dreams of helping people and making the world a better place.
10 years of payments in still owing more than I borrowed.๐
We need student loan reform.
Alaska Twitter officially apologizes to y'all for interrupting your regularly scheduled doomscrolling with a million tweets about our morning earthquake.
Bear with us, we're just a bit shaken up!
@StrikeDebt
I took out $189,000 & have paid over $140,000 the past 10 years. I now owe $200,000 *and* they sent me a letter saying they were adding a few years on to my debt because I wasnโt going to pay it down in time! ๐
@POTUS
get it together and fix it!

Drs: Please stop wasting time trying to call in ivermectin.
Here in pharmacy we practice evidence based medicine based on our lord & savior the randomized controlled trial.
Popularity on social media does not mean a drug works. Youโre adding fuel to the misinformation fire.
Captain Purrcard here of the pharmacy-ship Enterprise (EPS ๐น for real) Might give some booster shots later, might kick some Borg ass. ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ.

Hello,
@mayor_bronson
! A little bird told me that you have not yet received your Covid vaccination. I would love to provide assistance in this matter, and can give you a Moderna vaccine as early as tomorrow.
They call me the Wonder Pharmacist because Iโm that good. ๐
PSA: The tourists are here and yep they have Covid. Trust no one.
Please wear your mask on the airplane. People save their whole lives for this. It isnโt hard. ๐คฆ๐ปโโ๏ธ
Instead of using our resources to bribe people to come to Alaska, wouldnโt it make more sense to invest a little in vaccine outreach in low income areas, combatting vaccine misinformation, and helping more Alaskans feel comfortable getting a vaccine?! ๐
I would respectfully like to remind
@lisamurkowski
that she was elected by the people of Alaska and NOT by a religious moral code that learned how to spell her name on the radio.
Mastodon confuses me but can yโall just go over there and make a post with the hashtag
#alaskatwitter
and then I can follow the hashtag to find you? Like a trail of pilot bread crumbsโฆ
I would have never guessed Walmart pharmacy would be the company with the greener grass. Apparently they pay more, give a sign on bonus, and give 4 weeks vaca right out of the gate. ๐ฒ
The rats are jumping ship! ๐๐คฃ๐
(Another rph put in their 2 weeks)
Grab popcorn.
I wish the public could understand how exhausting it is to be happy and give service nonstop for 11 hours. And then you close the pharmacy a few minutes late and people donโt understand you are literally about to face-plant while they stop you on the way out and ask for meds.
I had a customer today, Covid positive, mask under nose, wheezing all over the place, walking around the store. This person pulled down their mask to LICK THEIR FUCKING MONEY AND HAND IT TO ME.
Iโm irate. I want to cry. Iโm so fucking DONE.
Trying to do covid shots plus normal pharmacy work with no extra help makes me super duper exhausted.
Tomorrow is only gonna be worse! Send adult diapers, red bull, Sudafed, and an extended release breakfast.
It still amazes me how many people are absolutely petrified to getting a shot and having side effects for a couple days. Like, yโall smoke cigarettes and put Taco Bell in your bodies well aware how thatโs gonna end...
I feel like in retail pharmacy right now you can either provide immunizations or medications, but not both. Choose, overlords!
Ok, we chose shots? Cool. Now everyone can go get their pills elsewhere since we donโt make money on that anyway. Let Bezos take the loss. ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ
Well. My in laws are coming for Thanksgiving and are refusing to be vaccinated for covid.
How did they think I would be ok with that?
Iโve been chronically immunosuppressed for 14+ years.
Fucking Hell.
The sweet old lady went to heaven today. I'm trying not to ugly cry. She had the best Alaska life-hiking, barking at geese, and camping. We moved up here together in 2010. I adopted her during pharmacy school in 2007. I hate goodbyes.๐

Hey,
@Cabelas
. Iโm ashamed youโre on board with this theatric event of malicious intent. You donโt know how traumatic and horrible the past couple years have been on us healthcare workers trying to do our normal jobs PLUS pandemic duties. Do you not care about our sacrifices?
My brain and feet are throbbing. I wish my employer would understand that a 30 minute break outside the pharmacy would improve productivity, increase safety, and benefit mental healthโฆI just canโt do this forever. Iโm slowly dying.
ESTEEMED HUMANS OF THE INTERNET! I did it! I HAVE A NOVEL! 73,045 words. Itโs the most of anything Iโve ever done. Iโm so jazzed and feel accomplished. โบ๏ธ๐ค
Now I need to proofread it like a pharmacist. ๐ค
#perfectionist
โฆand then comes to fun part of talking publishing. ๐
Me: Hooray! ๐ The company I work for is finally *trying* to hire people!
#twitteRx
Anyone want a $50-75k sign on bonus?
Also me: Whereโs my bonus for sticking around 12 years? ๐
Husband keeps asking what I want for my birthday.
I want a union. A big, angry pharmacistโs union that I can invite all my RX Twitter friends to join. Everyone deserves to eat!
I want revenge. (
#taurus

Iโve been told if I donโt work tomorrow my store will be closed because our store closes in the event of short staffing.
Can I just please have my days off? I have commitments that Iโve already paid for and no Mr Purr here to help. ๐ฃ
My Grandma is heading into hospice after years of fighting cancer and associated complications. I saw it coming, but it still sucks. Please pray to your favorite deity, especially for my sweet Grandpa.๐ฅบ๐
I sent my pharmacy boss a picture of Bernie in our waiting room and she called me.
"Is that man OK?! I think you should call 911!"
Me: ๐ณ๐น๐น๐น
Apparently if you work 120 hrs a week during a pandemic you miss out on memes. ๐คทโโ๏ธ
One of my patients saw the news article about overworked pharmacists and called to give us kudos and thank us for all we do. ๐ฅบ
It meant a lot after getting yelled at for not being fast enough when working alone doing covid shots and my normal job.
Iโm going to miss my partner in crime.
There was no glacial lake too cold, no trail too rough, no ball un-fetched. Awoooo!
Goodbyes are hard.
RIP, Beauba Fett. ๐
I find it infuriating that Dave Bronson questions the existence of a pandemic and healthcare workers have been busting their asses for over a year now trying to save lives.
I ran around the pharmacy so much while giving shots that my ankle surgery incision busted open.
I hit a big milestone today, which is probably a sad goal for normal people but here we go. ๐๐ปโโ๏ธ
I was able to jog a mile today (with no ankle pain to boot)! This is the first time Iโve tried and succeeded since I broke it. โบ๏ธ
Sweet lil running buddy Arya is now on my lap.
I keep getting asked why Iโm still wearing a mask at work. ๐
Seriously?! Everyoneโs hacking.
I canโt be sick I have lots of shit to do. ๐น
(Also the pharmacy would definitely be closed ๐)
@lisamurkowski
Are you kidding me, Senator?! Iโve paid so much interest on my student loan that 10k is just giving me money I paid back. What an absolute racket.
The Rona finally caught me, you guys. ๐ณ
The pharmacy is closed. Thereโs nobody to cover apparently. ๐ซฃ
Every place Iโve tried for a paxlovid RX has been a strikeout. Canโt talk to the state about infusions until Tuesday. I thought this was supposed to be easy.
Insert shitty day at work jokes here:
Yesterday after I left, a woman got kicked out of the store. In protest she went in the parking lot, pooped in her hands, & rubbed it all over the outside of the store.
Stay classy, Anchorage. Come for the mountains, stay for the shitshow.
Yesterday someone came in to the store and asked to take my picture. Ugh, no. โCan you take off your mask?โ NO, I AM WORKING! I turned around and the creeper was taking pics of me counting pills. ๐ค
Anyway Iโm probably on a serial killerโs cork board now.
My derby wifey is a critical care nurse. I asked if sheโs able to hang out on my days off. Sheโs too exhausted from work and has to rest up for her next shift. Theyโre losing 1-2 patients a day now. Sometimes she cries after work. I miss my friend. ๐ฅบ This just all sucks so bad.
Oh my god my mom went and asked some news lady in Duluth if sheโd do a segment on the morning show about my book and she said yes! ๐ณ๐ณ๐ณ So now Iโm like whoa about planning a trip homeโฆ๐
Iโm the idiot running around town in shorts today! (Honestly Iโm probably not the only one.) ๐

Itโs so cold that Clorox wipes just freeze on contact to the interior of a vehicle.
Ask me how I know.

I think teachers should at least have the *OPTION* to be fully Covid vaccinated before heading back to the classroom to teach.
Hey yโall! MIL has postponed Thanksgiving trip to a later date. Hubby had a good talk with her and she might get a shot.
SIL is considering making the same โvaccinated people onlyโ in her house-as she is with child. We stand together.

I only worked 3 hours today and caught a forged narcotic script. Trying to get a doctor on the phone is probably harder than storming the Capitol. Like bruh, someone is using your DEA number. Iโm doing you a solid here.
I need a margarita after this week.
I spent over $200 on prescriptions yesterday so if yโall think healthcare workers, especially pharmacists, have an in for better prices we donโt. ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ
They moved Anc down to medium-low Covid transmission, but weโve been out of paxlovid for 5 days. All the tourists are coming off ships asking, โWhatโs the best thing for a runny nose?โ Umm, a f*ing Covid test you imbecile. I canโt take much more of this nonsense. ๐
If the CDC could update their guidelines to โwear a fucking mask when you have Covid symptoms that youโre in denial about and go in a store to breathe all over the immunocompromised pharmacistโ that would be great.
Over 2 years in and still no decency or regard for othersโฆ
My coworker is at home on hospice. I ran an errand for his wife today. She said I could go up and say goodbye. I didnโt want to. I remember seeing my grandma on her death bed and I donโt want to remember Daniel that way. I pet their cat. Chatted with his wife. Held back tears. ๐
Tattoo day! Baby nerd Yoda (Grogu). ๐Nerding out on firefly, Schrรถdingerโs cat (Nebula), and a beta lactam ring. ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ
May need to add some sparklesโฆ.
It was 63 degrees at Disneyland and people were wearing puffy marmot and Patagonia jackets. ๐คฃ๐๐คฃ Sorry yโall this Alaskan thinks itโs funny. ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ
I donโt like having the circus in town and knowing their crazy ring leader, who should be in jail, is less than 3 miles away. Lots of brainwashing is happening today in the great state of Alaska.๐ฃ
