That got my blood roiling, R. Uh, thanks. This is so 60s behavior. And yeah, it got shoved out of sight, per usual, while the reality show stars and Obama bashing took front page ... ugh. I'm sending my comments on to the website.

Wrangling with the VA to get them to turn loose of my medications.

When they put your name up on the board in the waiting room, it means that one's prescriptions are filled and ready to be picked up. So, when my name came up, I went back to the pharmacy window (where the pharmacy clerk sits behind a bulletproof wall of plexiglass and medicines are dispensed via a little steel one way door) to pick my medicine up. I was told "Oh, we're sorry, Mr. Theo, your medicines are, in fact, NOT ready. It's going to be another 20 -30 minutes. Go sit down."

I went back and sat down, and I waited for the next 30 minutes. Then I got up and went back there again. I said, "Okay, it's been 30 minutes, so where's my medicines??". The clerk forked them over to me.

I wouldn't normally be so annoyed, but this happens to me EVERY time I go up to that main pharmacy to pick up my prescriptions.

This sort of thing is my little reminder to keep my usual practice of ordering my refills online and getting my meds mailed to me every month. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go and take my blood pressure pill.

I love the VA

What pissed me off is a coworker,who replaced someone who lift, a fue weeks ago she finaly figured out I was queer.Now she has been in my department for over two months till she figured it out,on the first day she barged into a convo I was haveing with another coworker about a work related thing and said "I dont want to make u mad but I must say u will burn in hell if u dont repent to God about how u live your life cause its all wrong"..It says so right hear in the book.I told her to take a deep breath cause me and the big guy are just fine,its the nosey bigots that are a pain in the ass for useing his name to commit all sorts of mayhem,then I went on my way doing my useal thing for the after noon.Fast forward to today..this morning I hadnt been at work 20 minits when while I was alone doing inventory then ask me for my phone number cause it was important to her to call and talk to me about repenting my evil ways...I told her to "go find something to do before I throw u out of the store room" so off she went in a huff.More fast forward and its 1:30pm she comes into the kitchen while im makeing snacks for the elders looks at my right ring finger then turns my ring right side up...then said I was advertiseing blasfamy.OK I had enough..off to the phone to call my head boss who is going to talk this whole mess overith the nun who runs the center,who btw I have never had a prob with.Everyone else I work with feels she should stay out of my buisness as do I .I know I report to work at 8a.m. in the morning i so hope this is the end of this crap,but I dont think it will be...for me yes,her I doubt.
