Stupid People Who Make My Life More Aggravating Than It Already Is

 I am getting an ear infection.  My second in two weeks (different ear), which is pretty much how my life goes.  I can't find my ear drops so I needed to get it refilled at the pharmacy.  This involved the unenviable task of speaking with a CVS pharmacy technician.  UGH.

After 11 and a half minutes on hold I got an idiot tech who couldn’t even

For things like this, using the website to do refills is ideal. I do it all the time with Walgreens (we can't stand CVS pharmacies, but I'm sure their webpage provides the ability to see your prescriptions and request refills online).

The CVS webpage does indeed provide it. I used it all the time. CVS still screws up my prescriptions regularly despite that, but at least I don't have to speak to the tech as much.

Ugh. As one who has also been subject to the incompetence of CVS's pharmacy techs, I feel your pain.

And I hope the ear drops heal you quickly.

Argh. That's not even trying to do his job! It's a good thing Daniel was there, at least.

I have to go to a different neighborhood to get my prescriptions filled. At all the pharmacies around here, none of the techs speak English AT ALL. I mean, I'm happy that the various immigrant populations are getting their medical needs met, but really, is it too much to ask? After getting a few too many bottles of the wrong meds, the wrong count, or the wrong dosage, I realized that taking the bus for a half an hour each way was worth it.

Feel better soon!
