skies (they/them) @skiesofpluto.bsky.social · 5hand yes i will continue live posting my monthly pharmacy struggles because what else can i do. i have to cope so i can get my meds 000
skies (they/them) @skiesofpluto.bsky.social · 5htheir system is getting fuckier by the way. they have *once again* apparently contacted my psych office for a refill on my fluoxetine *five days after* they were sent a new script for it, and also after they *filled* that script. because it was on automatic refills. 000
skies (they/them) @skiesofpluto.bsky.social · 5hso today that was like a ~35 minute process. i just... rite aid never had this problem for me, but they're gone and i guess all chain pharmacies are just understaffed and overwhelmed all the time now? if only their system could put forward my pre-dated scripts automatically >_< 100
skies (they/them) @skiesofpluto.bsky.social · 5hsuccess! which also probably means the first call either got hung up on purpose or accident, so that's not great but my script is now in the system 👍 100
skies (they/them) @skiesofpluto.bsky.social · 6hyes, i desperately need to switch to another pharmacy. i really really do. 000
skies (they/them) @skiesofpluto.bsky.social · 6hit's kind of weird that the message now says "all of the employees are assisting other customers" instead of "all of OUR employees" oh also i just got through and the call dropped so i think their phone system might be broken again. trying one more time and then i will just go in in person tomorrow 100

skies (they/them) @skiesofpluto.bsky.social · 8hhey. hey am i right that part of the unspoken rules in a hierarchy is that you're never supposed to outright say 'no' to the people above you in the hierarchy. because fucked up if true 100

skies (they/them) @skiesofpluto.bsky.social · 8hin my head i will like. accept a certain authority figure. they have my acceptance and permission. and then someone who is at the same rung of the hierarchy will try to tell me what to do and i will stare at them like 'wait why are you trying to tell my what to do' 120
