Today, I joined a very illustrious order.
The pharmacy technicians who can create ibuprofen geysers.
You, gentle reader, are most probably furrowing your brow in confusion. Read on, and all will be illuminated.
Ibuprofen syrup is available in the pharmacy, as well as on the shelves of your local drug store. A small, select group of insurances cover it, so we dispense it. We have to pour it out of the quart stock bottles into the amber dispensing bottle.
This syrup needs to be shaken in order to dispense it. If shaken too much, it forms bubbles. Lots of bubbles.
I shook too hard.
So, I was gently squeezing the dispensing bottle so that the bubbles would rise to the top of the bottle neck and disperse, like you would a bottle of dish soap or shampoo.
I obviously don't know my own strength.
About an ounce of ibuprofen syrup went shooting into the air. Covering the bottle, the counter, dripping to the floor. Luckily, I only got two small splotches on my clothing, and none in my hair.
Even through I've cleaned the area three times, I still have sticky feet when walking across that area.
Go me!
