Cartoons
What’s your favorite cartoon? There is a version of Hans Christian Anderson’s Little Mermaid that came out in the 70s. It was made by a little studio called Star Maker. It remains my favorite cartoon. It was hard to find a copy because the rights got sold to a company called Discotek. It is a…

Less Sugar
What could you do less of? I woke up about an hour ago and chose three things for breakfast: a bottle of carrot juice (so far so good), a left over chocolate chocolate chip pancake from International House of Pancakes (kind of a breakfast food I guess), and a Little Debbie’s Cosmic Brownie (delicious but…

Positive Events
What positive events have taken place in your life over the past year? The most astounding thing that has happened to me this year is that I have received incontravertable revelations from the Holy Spirit (Animos).

Trenchcoat Dream

Trapped in the Drivethru
My entire six hour shift was in drivethru. It was too bad since the crew tonight was one of the best combinations. I won’t miss Walgreens but most of my coworkers are a joy to be with. It’s been a long day but I need to eat before I can fall asleep.

Portland, Oregon
Do you have a favorite place you have visited? Where is it? I lived in Portland for almost two years. I was going to a very expensive liberal arts college there. The city is beautiful and I loved going on long walks both day and night especially in the warm drizzle. I call it a…

Short Staffed
Our pharmacy is not only short staffed but we have the highest volume of any in the district. We don’t have space for all the volume either but most of our customers are pretty loyal. We don’t stop serving customers when prescription pile up unsorted in the baskets. We churn them out as quickly as…
