Bushie: The Final Frontier - Update Season V

[Sbane]

Is it that hard to stand for 8 hours?

Wow - could only be said by someone who has never had to do it!

Lol Opebo. Just because you are a lazy does not mean everyone else is. I have to stand up at my job for 8 hours every single day.

You like standing up all day?  You accept it without objection?  Rather browbeaten, aren't you lad?

Last week one day, I applied to seven jobs online in less than two hours. Just saying...

What kind of jobs could you 'apply for' online?  Couldn't be a real job, surely.

[Joe Biden 2020]

Bushie, if you will PM me your phone address etc, I will go on Target.com and apply for a job in metro OKC for you. Not as a favor to you. But for your parents. I feel bad for them.

I'm open to this.  PM me exactly what you need and I'll reply to you this evening so you can go on there either this evening or tomorrow.

Thanks, memphis!

....you can't go on targets website and apply yourself?

I can, but since he offered.

Dude... submit your own damn application.  My goodness, you might be the laziest person I have ever witnessed... The application will be more accurate and complete if you do it.

How many applications have you submitted so far, while you've been suckling yourself on the food and money of your parents?

Actual applications only 2.  Target and the Post Office.  I'm being very picky on my applications as I want to make absolutely sure I can and I am willing to do whatever is on the job description.  Granted, I should be doing more than just 2, and I will, but slowly, but surely.

If you've already submitted an application to Target, why would you send me your info so that I could do the same?

That includes the application to Target you're putting in on my behalf.

Of course I'm not applying to "real" jobs, I'm a college student. But I applied at Target in very little time. But a lot of standard online applications basically just ask the same information over and over again, so if you sit down and focus on nothing else, it doesn't take long.

Bushie, do you have a resume?

It's the nature of the job. It's fast paced so I wouldn't have time to sit. There is usually a chair for those entering the prescriptions but you have to do other tasks at the same time so you aren't sitting for long. The Pharmacist can sit for most of the time though, provided the Pharmacy has enough space for a chair, which in many cases is not true.

I don't mind it much because I am studying to be a Pharmacist and will be paid well. The technicians don't get paid well at all though, and they have to run around. It pisses me off when people target Pharmacies as location where people are overpaid (looking at you Memphis). The Pharmacist gets paid well, but they get paid for their knowledge and extensive loans, and there is never more than one working at a time. Everyone else is a technician or a Pharmacist intern. Technicians don't get paid much above minimum wage and that is who you usually interact with when you go to a Pharmacy.

Yes, I do have a resume.  I'm looking to see what I can find right now.

That's quite interesting, I had no idea this was your field, Sbane.  Now I think I understand your atypically positive (for a Democrat) view of the medical profession.  I suppose one thing that may make your aching limbs and deformed feet feel better at the end of the day is the fact that you can see a future - the position of pharmacist one day, and a livable income.  Most people in stand-all-day jobs have to stand up like that the rest of their lives.

You might consider having a few people look over your resume. I feel like every time I've had someone look at mine, it has only gotten better.

Well, unless he wilfully omits some of the 15 jobs he's had in the last 3 years, he's going to need a ton of help explaining them, so good idea!

The techs are definately not overpaid. Just like any other cashier job except there are more security issues. Pharmacists are indeed very well educated, but I don't really understand why. What do they do other than take pills from big bottles and put them into small bottles? I don't believe there's any science going on behind the Walgreens desk. Please correct me if I'm wrong. The side effects are all listed on the computer print out.

I just sent out 2 more applications in just 20 minutes of searching.

Perhaps he can say he was doing some sort of religious thing. People are reluctant to question that sort of thing for fear of offending.

I'm applying to zero entry-level call center jobs.

[Queen Mum Inks.LWC]

Yes - a modern job entered into voluntarily, where you can leave at will, and you're compensated with pay... just the same as slavery!

Come on, friend, you know quite well the capital-less die without jobs.  

Have to get money to eat, and the controllers only dole out the little bit of money if you jump as they tell you.  

Not true.  There are plenty of self-employed people who do just fine.

Yeah - as I said, people with capital.

Is it that hard to stand for 8 hours?

Wow - could only be said by someone who has never had to do it!

I've done it.  I've done it for longer.  It's tiring when you do it 22 days in a row, but otherwise, it's really not bad.

I wouldn't know about that - I always quit after the first day of any standing-up job.

Well not everybody who's self-employed starts with capital.

What's a "real" job?  One that lets you sit and do nothing all day and get paid?  That seems to be the standard you're advocating for.

Again, I don't really mind the standing. Maybe it's because I am young, but I have not noticed problems from it.

[opebo]

So what're you talking about here?  Pickpockets?

1. I thought you weren't doing call centers.  Not that I disapprove.  You need anything that will give you a paycheck, although quitting a call center just to move back home and work at a call center would be incredibly stupid.
2. Did you really give out your real SSN?

We are checking for drug interactions all the time. We need to be able to educate patients on how to take their medications and any questions they may have. Usually about interactions with OTC's. We need to answer questions about dosing for children for OTC's. We also get questions about herbal and dietary supplements and need to be able to answer those. Usually doctors don't tell their patients how to take their medication and about side effects, figuring it is our job and that is true. Some people just treat us as a vending machine, but that is not supposed to be our purpose.

Leaving that aside, someone also needs to manage the Pharmacy and verify everything is done exactly right. We also need to ensure compliance with the hundreds of thousands of laws regarding drugs and pharmacies. This means verifying that prescriptions are entered correctly, they are on the right type of paper, they have all the information necessary by law. Then we need to verify that the technicians did their job right and don't dispense the wrong drug, strength, dosage form, dosage type or wrong amount (very important for controlled drugs). And of course in an average pharmacy, you are doing this about 400 times a day. While counseling and checking for drug interactions.

And did I mention dealing with insurance companies? Oh insurance.....we should get paid double for having to deal with their bullsh**t. Any good Pharmacist is an expert on insurance practices and the law. We are a very multifaceted profession.

And with all of that being said, do you really think you are overpaying at your pharmacy? Most drugs cost just a few dollars for a 30 day supply and about $10 for a 90 day supply. The ones that are expensive are usually due to the costs charged to us by the pharmaceutical companies. They are the ones you are mad at. Or maybe your insurance company, which sometimes raises prices on certain drugs within a class to guide you towards another one since they might have sweetheart deals with a certain manufacturer. So don't blame us for that.

Oh, I thought "zero entry-level" was some sort of terminology for a type of call center.  My mistake.

WHY WOULD YOU GIVE YOUR SSN TO SOMEONE YOU DON'T KNOW OVER THE INTERNET?!?! ESPECIALLY AN INTERNET FORUM THAT DOES NOT HAVE ANY SORT OF ENCRYPTION?  I don't even.... seriously?
