I've grown very impatient with the guy who's auction I won on Ebay for 63 henna stencils. It's been almost a week now since I paid him, and still nothing. I am getting pretty pissed......but, rest assured Jos, I will have them in time for my trip to San Francisco.
Any Portlander who wants to meet me, don't be shy, stop by my work at the Lloyd Center Safeway Pharmacy, on NE 11th and Broadway during the week, and if you want to see me do karaoke (which is not too bad, really), and want a good deal on drinks on Fridays and Saturday nights, come on down to El Presidente in Vancouver, WA. It's just right off I-5 on Exit 2 (City Center). Once off the exit, stay to the right, and you are there. Pretty easy to find, and you will know all about the legend of "Harry Potter."
This journal's poll question: Should I go to the 1 year Party? Vote now in the comment section, I love to read them.
Today's crazy pharmacy story: It's been dead at work all week, our phone system has been down, and nobody could call their refills in until yesterday. Today, we had a gentleman come in wanting his Diltiazem CD (which is a maintence medication). As we are getting it ready, he is taking his blood pressure on our less-than-reliable blood pressure machine. I call his name to let him know it's ready. As he is paying for his medication he suddenly says, "My blood pressure is 127/81. I bet YOURS isn't that good!" In my mind I said to myself, "Are you fucking insane!?!?!? You're what? 65 years old, and you take medication to LOWER your blood preassure, while I am 25 and don't have to take medication to lower my blood preassure."
But, being ever the so trained "ass-kisser" that Safeway wants, I simply laughed and said, "I wouldn't doubt that, sir," rang him up, told him to have a good day, and when he was out of side, I damn near collapsed onto the floor from laughing so hard. I bet it made a good picture on the video camera was have inside the pharmacy.
ONe last thing, if anyone in San Francisco knows of a cheaper hotel than the Airport Travel Lodge, let me know for when I come down that way in October. I look forward to meetings a lot of the SFSG contingent while I am there. But, when all is said and done, and the smoke is cleared, the reddevil will have rocked that town like a hurricane.
Have fun everyone, and see you all later.

Don't worry, I'm patient. Thank you, doll.
