Today sucks dot com....

I have a staph infection. On my face. It's NOT a bite. No no.. it's a common children's staph infection. No, it's not MRSA and no, you wont catch it...unless you rub up against my chin. But, it could be really bad and I'm glad I went to the dr. Effing awesome.

This is what happened at Walgreens:

10am: Arrive at Walgreens for medicine.

me: "Hi, my doc just called in an Rx for me.. I can wait a few if it's not ready yet."
Napolean (the guy looked like Nap Dynamite) "Well. I have 5 unchecked voicemails. It might be on there."
Me: *blink...blink..." "Um.. okay.. will you check."
Nap: "Yeah, in a sec."

Time: 10:15, no checking voicemail yet.

me: "I know you're busy, but can you please check that voicemail?"
**** By this time, Id called my doc and confirmed that she had indeed left a voicemail****
Nap: "Yeah, Brent is on it" (motions to guy behind him on the phone)
Me: "Um... I dont know about you, but I dont typically talk back to my messages on voicemail, so I dont think Brent is checking them. I understand you're busy, but I need this med before I go into work. It's just ointment and I have a staph infection....on my face" (points at face)
Nap: "Okay."
Me: *staring kinda mean* "Well..I'll just go walk around for a few while you get it ready..."
Nap: "mmmkay."

time: 10:45 am

Me: "Hi. Is it ready yet?"
Nap: "Oh, the voicemail.. Lemme see.."

10:52 am

Nap: "It's ready. Oh....no..that's not good..."
Me: "What..what's not good?"
Nap: ".. our computers just went down. You're gonna have to come back."

ARE YOU EFFING KIDDING ME?!?!!!! I am really glad I have self control.. REALLY glad that I'm working in a calmer environment..and basically glad that I hit the SHIT out of a punching bag at the gym last night b/c it saved this poor pre-pubescent looking kid from the wrath of a staph girl with a mild eye infection. (did I mention that? He thinks I got bitten by an insect on my eyelid.)

So, I went in to work and dealt with some shit that made me MORE stressed out, but isnt a typical crisis. No biggie. My boss laughed and told me to go home. I love how laid back my job is. So, I left....and just now got my Rx at Walgreens. What time is it? Yeah, it's 3:20. My doc appt was at 9:15. My Rx was called in at 9:50. Right. EFFING MORONS. I am changing. Walgreens is fired.

And one more thing... how did an insect bite me on my eyelid? I'm a clean person, damnit. My apt is CLEAN. Even my dog gets bathed more than she should. My doc actually commended me saying "well, it's a good thing you're clean b/c if you weren't, this infection would have spread badly by now...but it's concentrated on your chin." Well, thank God for small blessings. *sigh*
