I've been having a rough couple of days... just feeling down... my life really sucks and sometimes it gets to me.... I'm hoping to catch up with the emails... I'm a few days behind, I know.... and I apologize to you all.... I'm usually not this way.. being involved here is important to me... but the world right now is busy squishing me and that makes it hard to type!!!!

.... just trying to be a bit silly...

The same three computers that I started working on two weeks ago are still giving me grief... two from the owners not doing what they need to do and jerking me around.. and the third who is sweet as the dickens but we are still having problems with some defective software on his machine... so I'm dealing with the company....

And on top off all of that, dealing with the Veteran's clinic sending my dad's meds here instead of to him in Nevada (where he's on vacation) and trying to figure out how to get them shipped there before he runs out... all with me stuck here with no transportation or cash.... it's such a mess....

The clinic was given notice IN WRITING this year, cuz they screwed it up the last two years... that the meds are to go to the alternate address during this two month period... last year dad had to make a 4 1/2 hour drive, one way, to go to a clinic in CA to get the meds cuz they came here instead of there and there wasn't enough time to get them to him before he ran out...

I know... I'm ranting and making NO sense... but I'm just so angry.. these educated and licensed people can't understand a letter and continually mess up orders of medications!!!

arrrrghghhhhhhh

......a very tired and sad Topper

Gossimer,

Great suggestions... I'm waiting to hear how the butt chewing did at the pharmacy yesterday and what their excuse was for fouling this up yet a third year...

The incompetency of this simply amazes me... there are other vendors, and that is basically all a pharmacy is, that handle these yearly vacations just fine and forward the product to the vacation address with no hassle. Yet a med, that the pharmacy themselves put a label on the front of the packages that states it's a 'vital medical shipment' can't follow simple instructions!!!

eeeekkkkkkk

I get to chew their butts today!!! then I'll feel better.

Hi ,As for sending the meds to your father, Have your father call the local Post office in Nevda and arrange for them, the US postal service to come out to the house and pick up the package. He can pay for the mailing/shipping charges over the phone via his credit card or debit card during this call so long as he knows the size and weight of the package. This is a new service that they offer for Priority mail customers. GossimerRemember, the Sun rises in the East. It never fails to bring light to the day.
