I had been told by my Doctor's assistant last Wednesday that my two prescriptions would be ready for pickup Monday morning. One was ready, but the other could not be renewed until Sunday, meaning that it would be available the next day. Knowing Kaiser's evil ways, I asked him for clarification: "So if I go in Monday, both prescriptions will be available for pickup?" "Yes," he said.
Of course, when I went in late yesterday afternoon, only one was ready. I politely told the lady behind the counter that I would be writing and angry letter to someone, and she said she would too, if she were me. But when I got outside, cursing Kaiser for having won this particular battle (so far), I realized that I had won another.
I had spoken with my snow peas a month ago, when I had harvested a couple dozen, and advised my remaining soldiers to hide from Kaiser's evil-doers. Grow, and bear fruit, I had said, but try to fall over the back end of the planter, so you will not be seen. They obeyed my orders, and yesterday's harvest was even more bountiful than the last.
When I am Supreme President for Life of Kaiser, all workers there will be competent. Basic English proficiency will be required. Doctors will care about their patients. An IQ of at least 95 will be required for hiring. And snow peas will be everywhere. You don't mess with The Horse.

Prescription refills are a pain in the rear. I just have the VA send them to me. I don't have to deal with the pharmacy that way.
