Medieval Pharmacy

I was blessed enough to work in a medieval pharmacy today. What is a medieval pharmacy you may ask?

Well you see the building I was in today was built in 1903. Due to this fact most of the items in this building are from... well about 1903. Turns out we have an issue with one of the main breakers now. What this means is that the breaker decides to randomly blow throughout the day. No one knows why this is happening and the breaker itself is 30+ years old (which means they no longer make it) and its going to take several days to replace it.

Thus at we had the breaker blow four times in a three hour span. That means virtually everything in the store turns off as someone treks in the basement to go and flip the flaming hot switch. In the mean time we are left in virtually complete darkness. Then it takes about 10-15 minutes for the computers to reboot.

This is where the Medieval Pharmacy comes into play. Have you ever filled a prescription in near darkness? Without any computers or labels? Without billing with insurances? Lemme tell you it was fan-fucking-tastic. I think it went more smoothly without power than it does with power. Granted I only filled one script that was needed ASAP and the rest were simple refills (and yes it was bright enough to properly fill things), but it was still rather exhilarating. I think I'm going to build a time machine and move to a time similar to what we experienced today. That should be rather bitchin' in my mind.
