Flares
Sometimes I feel like Jennifer Aniston from Office Space because I wear flares but instead of “Get Fries with it!” mine says, “Get your Flu Shot from me! No Appointment Necessary!” And you know what, I actually wish I had more flares. I want flares that say:
“Yes, I am old enough to have graduated from pharmacy school.”
“No. I’m not Korean.”
“All crack whores are now being served at the pharmacy across the street. Move along my friend, MOVE ALONG.”
“Got herpes? Ew really? From WHO?”
But no, I only get two flares. One about flu shots, and the other one is a name tag. And now I have patients that Google me and tell me what club I was in during college. And I just say, “Oops, you caught me! <nervous smile>” But inside I’m saying “STAND BACK Creepy McCreeperson. Or I’m going to call the creepier security guard that loiters around the pharmacy and makes me want to carry pepper spray in my pocket to creep you out.”


we can get you a flare-maker! really!
