susandennisSherry and Lee are supposed to be here in 15 mins to pick me up for dinner - Luna's in West Seattle... it's a 50's diner and I'm going to have a cheesburger, fries and maybe a chocolate shake.
Some cagey googling found me Mike Pieronek at redhouseon7th.com who wrote this great little review of my very MP3 player. I wrote to him yesterday hoping for some insight into my podcast problem. We've swapped a dozen emails. He's just the nicest guy in the world. He got This American Life to work on his player. And, bygod, I got it working on mine!! Yes, folks. Ira will be with me on the treadmill tomorrow morning. Hallafuckinlooyah!!!
Work was heads down all day long. I picked up a great new project and also worked in a few other things.
But the big thing I managed to work in was a victory with my online pharmacy. It could yet by phyrric but, I'm hopeful.
I asked my dentist to change my toothpaste prescript to the Colgate version instead of the generic brand since they now cost about the same and I like the Colgate better. He did. The pharmacy sent me the generic. I called them and got the exact words to have him write on the prescription. He did. They sent the generic. I called them and asked them how in the hell I could fix this. They said they would send a note to the pharmacist NOT to fill the order unless it specifically said Colgate Prevident 5000 paste. Today I got a notice from them that they were sending me Colgate Prevident 5000 cream (which is twice the price of the paste). I called them.
This time I was just as nice as I could be but I was persistent. I explained that I was annoying the hell out of my dentist and needed some way to fix the problem that would not involve him. ("I don't know about you, but my dentist is the last person I want mad at me." She laughed.) Then she put me on hold to go get a pharmacist to talk to me. Only she screwed it up - twice. The more she apologized, the more forgiving I became. Finally I got her to say what I want... "Let's get the pharmacist to pull up the image of the prescription your dentist sent." BINGO!
Sure enough, the pharmacist even said that they prescription was error free - specifically spelling out PASTE. He said he would fix the order. I won't know for sure if we're good for a couple of days but at least if we aren't I have more of a leg to stand on... Steve (the pharmacist) said...!
I think I'll clean up my work inbox while I wait for the dinner ladies.
