instead of just congratulating me they tell me "COOL, NOW YOU CAN GET FREE DRUGS"
No I am not going to steal drugs from my ****ing place of work I don't care if you're joking, it's offensive to me and annoying as hell after the hundredth time
This one guy was totally convinced that because I live in California I can "get free medicinal marijuana". Yes, because chain store pharmacies totally have weed in them.
It's like if I said I was becoming a veterinary assistant and everyone I met told me "SO ARE YOU GONNA **** THE DOGS" "No" "WHY NOT, THEY'RE RIGHT THERE, YOU JUST HAVE TO DO IT WHEN NOBODY'S LOOKING"
Job pays crap. my sis-in-law is a pharm tech and has been for 3 years. She is getting a job at a cell phone distributor because they pay worlds better.
EDIT: But if its something you truly love and are not doing it for the money then more power to ya.
