Horse Pills

I'm pretty sure I've mention it a few hundred times, but in case you forgot....I WORK IN A NUT HOUSE!

For some reason unbeknownst to me, my office buys hundreds of dollars of "stuff" for the office. Crackers, bread, butter, popcorn, 3 diff kinds of peanut butter, string cheese, every crazy condiment known to man (red wine vinegar, Tabasco, teryaki sauce), oatmeal, frozen fruit, tea, coffee, several variety of creamer, artificial sweeteners, cups, plates, napkins, EVERY soft drink ever made and the candy...OH MY WORD, tons of it, bags and bags and bags of it!

But this specific post is about the medicine drawer. The medicine drawer is part of that monthly $1,000 dollar trip to Walmart. There is anything you need and several different kinds of it. Upset tummy: pepto tablets, alk-seltzer, Rolaids OR prevacid if enchilada Wednesday if giving you heartburn. Headache: no problem we got the jumbo bottle of ibuprofen or if that is too hard on your tummy, we have Tylenol but if regular doesn't knock out your headache...well there is extra strength too. Don't worry they don't discriminate against the allergy sufferers, no'mam they get the biggest selection of all: Day Time SINUS, Allergy & Sinus, Benadryl, COLD & FLU, Extreme Congestion and on and on and on.

So just a minute ago, I went to that drawer looking for a band aid for my bleeding cuticle (I'm a "picker" from way back, but that's for another time and place) and in between the TUMS & the TIDE Pen I see the DAY TIME SINUS box and this hand written note:


{NEXT TIME CAN YOU GET SINUS PILLS THAT ARE NOT AS BIG AS THESE HORSE PILLS, PLEASE. THANKS}

Are you kidding me? Can you even imagine complaining about the FREE pharmacy? How about buy your own !#$%^&*allergy medicine like every other person does! And of course she didn't sign her name, but we all know the note was from the "mental health day" co-worker...."she has the handwriting of a serial killer" {name that movie for a dollar}
