Moving...and something I want!
Here's what my daily schedule entails:
Rise
Drive
Work
Eat
Work
Drive
Pack
Shower
Pass out
I gotta out of my current place by the 17th, so that's what?...5 more days? So yea, if I'm not working I'm probably packing and moving some crap over to the new apartment. The process is slow and gradual, but I better kick it into high gear today.
Went and saw Rush Hour 3 last night with the significant other and some buddies. I enjoyed it. Note to self... the MAN is always behind every criminal organization. The theater was god-forsakenly cold last night though. Good thing I had jeans on but my buddies were wearing short and flip-flops and their toes were numb afterwards.
Anywhoo...now to something that I want. A couple weeks ago I sold my little Sony laptop for ~$1000 that I purchased for $401. Pretty good huh? Now I'm in need of a laptop and I have my eyes set on the new Dell XPS M1330. Looks like my best bet would be buying through my OSU's premier site which comes with a bit of a discount. I wish Costco would get it in stock sometime so that I can purchase from them and have their excellent return policy in play.

Walgreens Day 2 - I salute you Major A-Hole!
So, I made it through the first year and now I'm officially an intern. Just got my license in the mail yesterday. Already put in 19 hours our two days at the 24-hour Walgreens I am working at in Salem. This store is crazy busy, but constantly having something to do makes the day go by really fast. The training modules I have to complete as part of training though is pretty lame. To do that, I have to sit/stand at the back of the pharmacy watching videos from who knows what year and answering questions about the content.
Let the fun begin
I gotta tell ya though, there are some big assholes in this world and I think the majority of them can be found in the military. Some cocky, "high ranking" son-of-a-bitch comes into our store this morning around 9am trying to get a refill on his medications; one of which being...VICODIN! But anyways, the senior tech at the store is trying to help him out and finds out that the insurance won't cover it because he's refilling too soon (can you say FIEND?). When he is informed of this, he tries to pull rank on her and explain how he's some top dog and needs his drugs and threatened to sue if we didn't get the meds too him.
He decided to sit around and hassle the pharmacist and techs every once in a while, while he sat in the waiting area and probably talked smack about us to other patients. We tried our best to contact his doctor to see if he could authorize some VICODIN for him, but the pharmacist was put on hold forever probably because the asshole was calling the doctor's office on his cell non-stop and badgering them too. Around noon, he comes back to the window and says he going to come back Monday with the military police with him....pssssh....wtf the can they do about this? They would probably put him away. So we think that he's gone. WRONG. He comes back again later and demands his meds again. Boy, this went on for a good 5 hours.
He is lucky that my preceptor wasn't there or else he would have been ripped a new one cause he doesn't stand for that kinda shit. Besides, there is no law that forces a pharmacist to dispense to everyone. I really wonder why he didn't just try to go somewhere else if we "weren't doing our jobs."
My feet are fucking killing me!
Good News
I finally picked up a Wii today at Costco when I was getting my tires rotated and balanced. Woot!

score....!?!?!
Today was our third soccer match, it feels our team is playing a lot better. But we were missing a lot of people today because of Mom's Weekend (blah).
Guess what? I scored a goal....but to my demise, in the wrong goal. Crap. I tried to pass back to goalie because an offender was coming, but I guess I kicked it pass him or right between his hands? Oh well, at least it wasn't like a game deciding goal or anything because our final score was like 1-5 or 1-6.
Well, back to studying for BB....fawk!

buying car = headache
The process of researching and trying to find a used-car to purchase is such a pain in the ass. For the past few weeks my girlfriend and I have been stuck in this ordeal to find something for her before she needs to start school in Las Vegas. We figure it would be better for her to purchase a car here where taxes are lower and we can avoid having to go to dealers in the Las Vegas heat.
But even shopping for cars online can be more stressful than cramming for a midterm. The options are numerous yet limited because money doesn't grow on trees. Right now we have come down to looking at PT Cruisers, which I don't think are that attractive, but the reviews are decent and my gf seems to like it a lot.
Also, being in Corvallis sucks because all the dealers and private sellers are somewhere in Portland-Metro area. Planning to drive up this Thursday to check out some cars. If you have some experience purchasing used cars, want to come tag along? I'll get you lunch or dinner!
