I’ve been told by tv and trashy magazines that in this day and age, merely brushing our teeth is not sufficient to stop the squillions of evil bacteria in our mouth from devouring our teeth – it is imperative that we brush our tongues as well. One of the toothpaste brands is now no longer [...]

blah blah blah
Still going on the privacy section of the assignment. I’m not very good at sitting down and doing stuff like this. I’m having a lot of trouble not plagiarising actually. See, there’s ONE book available on Australian privacy legislation in community pharmacy. And the questions have obviously been written in reference to this book. So [...]
What better way to spend a Saturday afternoon?
1) Shopping. Regular readers of ToVY may be aware that I hate shopping. Today’s expedition had the aim of acquiring a 21st birthday present for my friend. My brother and I bought her a book called Godel, Escher, Bach which is about all sorts of things… maths, physics, music, computers… etc. I hope she likes [...]
temptation
The other day a man came into work with a script for 30 suppositories. It turned out that he only needed one for the night before a procedure. He said to me “Well what am I supposed to do with 29 suppositories?”. I was silent for a good few seconds, trying to suppress all the [...]
I made it!
Finally finally finally I’ve made it to Friday night. Got a lift halfway home with my boss and we were both fairly zombie-like…
Now I’m eating the best ice cream in the world and thinking about having a bath and going to bed. The main variable is the bath. That COULD wait til tomorrow really. In [...]
a tea break
Finally I have obtained my favourite tea and today had my first tea break. Well it wasn’t really a break as such, as I was receipting invoices whilst drinking my tea (and now I have some tea stained invoices), but there was tea. And chocolate. Fruit and nut.
Been having a very bad week at [...]
the paperless office
Whoever tried to raise people’s hopes with such idealistic crap should be in big trouble.
Today my major task was to get the scripts ready to send to the Health Insurance Commission (HIC). This involves making sure that they’re a) all present b) correctly stickered c) signed d) dated by the person who signed them [...]
a free croissant
When I went to buy my lunch at the bakery today, the girl there said “can I give you a free croissant?”. I didn’t think she’d have to ask. But I very graciously allowed her to give free croissants to me and my boss. Ah my generosity knows no bounds.
Out and about…
Fact of the day: there is no Coke machine on platform 3 at Town Hall station. This is very odd.
boom boom tink crash boom
My brother just bought a drum kit. It’s quite a fun thing really, and I suspect quite a good aerobic workout. It’s also about half a metre from the wall between our rooms. I have told him that should him drumming become too constant, our mother will gladly take to practising her trombone in his [...]
