I know it’s not a lot given how much my starting weight is but as of today I’ve lost 15 pounds in about 5 weeks thanks to Mounjaro. I’d have to lose another 100 to be at a healthy weight but frankly I’d just be happy being able to wear 2xl shirts again.

Car prices are insane. The fact that they now have 7 and 8 year car loans shows how ridiculous. If someone made a basic vehicle for $10,000 no frills they would make a killing. I’ll lock my own doors and crank my own windows if need be.
😂😂 They don’t give a fuck. If they did the problem wouldn’t exist.
CVS exec wants workplace change following expose about pharmacist who collapsed on job and died
Confirmed today that my pharmacist did leave because the job burnt her out until she couldn’t do it anymore.
What will they do when we are all burnt out?
I’m as pro vaccine as any healthcare worker but if you need a vaccine every four months but you can return to work when you “feel better” there is something really fucked up with the healthcare system.
My daughter dropped her backpack right in the middle of the kitchen and walked off.
Me: When you own a house I’m coming over to make a mess.
Her: Joke’s on you if you think I’ll ever have enough money to own a house.
Boeing used to be run by engineers. Hospitals used to be run by doctors. Universities used to be run by professors. There is a bloated corporate class sucking the lifeblood out of every institution in this country.
Me: The computer is so slow that we can’t fill any prescriptions
IT: It’s a known issue
Me: Great, so when will it be fixed?
IT: …
Me: …
IT: …
Me: Well it’s been great talking to you. I’ll go back to not filling prescriptions.
Please for the love of god stop prescribing GLP-1 meds. Even if the patient gets over the insurance hurdles (difficult) and finds a box (also difficult) the next month they probably won’t find a box and what good is it then?
Things I wish pharmacy customers knew
It irritates us just as much as it irritates you that we have to redo a prescription you didn’t pick up in 10 days. Sadly only one of us has the ability to make sure that doesn’t happen.
I haven’t updated my Mounjaro journey in a long time. I started in November and lost about 40 pounds in the first 3 months and since then even with increases in dose I have not lost anymore. It’s not a magic bullet for everyone. The good part is that my A1C is normal. Yay!
CDC recommendations. I feel like this one is directed at pharmacy chains everywhere. “We see you Mr. District manager, trying to push shots in August. Knock it off.”
Tired of peace and quiet
Sick of not being interrupted
Wish you could stand up for 12 hours in a row
Ask your doctor if retail pharmacy is right for you
Good news, I’m getting a raise.
Bad news, it’s not even close to inflation.
Why is it called a cost of living raise when it doesn’t keep up with the cost of living?
This whole work until you’re dead bullshit has got me down. Seems like a waste. Hate work when I’m there then it takes most of my time off to recover.
I don’t get how people have so much energy and drive. If you’re one of those people, hat’s off to you because I don’t get it.
As much as I hate retail when I’m in the zone, behind the bench, totally focused I can say I’m really good at this.
Clinical? Not so much. Getting shit done? A+
If I’m not mistaken Saxenda and Trulicity were approved in 2014. Victoza was approved in 2010. This class of medication isn’t new. Will GLP-1 medications have unforeseen side effects? Of course they will but that doesn’t mean they will be severe.
I would love to hear from everyone who is currently employed, what objective measure or metric was used to determine you were the most qualified applicant when you were hired. And of course, if you could also mention the position you were hired for, that would help. Thanks in
Take the drugs so you can hold down a job that makes you need the drugs so you can afford medical insurance to pay for the drugs so you can hold down a job…
Remember when I asked for a slower store?
They are sending me to a busier store. I’m not sure why I’m being punished.
This is why you never talk to management if you can avoid it.
My mom and dad are in their mid 70s and I wouldn’t trust them running a lemonade stand nevermind a whole country. It’s time we had some serious discussions about the decline of your mental and physical health as you age.
I am angry. Shame on you BOARDS OF PHARMACY! SHAME! Boards of Pharmacy have failed at their ability to protect patients and the profession of pharmacy, allowing patients and pharmacists to be used only as a siphon for profits, mostly for the profits PBMs and their owned
The daily vaccination total emails to your supervisor have begun.
I’m so sick of this. I have a line at pickup for most of the day. How am I supposed to give shots when I have only one tech? Should I tell everyone in line they have to wait for 15 minutes?
So I called out sick. I always feel guilty when it’s just cold like symptoms but then I wonder why they would give us sick days if they want us coming to work sick.
Still Covid negative though.
I definitely can’t eat as much and food tastes different. I got a double patty burger from a local place and I could only eat half and some fries. I’d normally take down the entire thing and want ice cream after. I had a fruit salad yesterday and the strawberries were so good.
Doc wrote me a prescription for Mounjaro. I’ve got all sorts of complicated feelings about that and I haven’t even injected myself yet. 😂
I’m my own worst enemy.
I took my shot of Mounjaro last night and I’m a little nauseous. I can’t tell if I’m nauseous because I’m anxious about being nauseous or if I’m nauseous because of the medicine.
I wish I wasn’t like this. 😂
My pharmacy manager has Covid and didn’t know until she started to feel ill at the end of her shift after working with three of the techs all day. If my pharmacy has staff next week it will be a miracle.
Because of the shortage I had to skip this weeks dose of Mounjaro.
I forgot what it’s like to be hungry constantly. It’s exhausting thinking about food every second.
Watching my parents and my in laws start to become more addled in their 70s I can’t help think that I’ve got 10 to 20 good years left before I start the slide.
I don’t want to spend it all working. It’s such bullshit. The whole work until you’re dead system is bullshit.
