I got my first ever prescription for a controlled substance today. It was kind of neat looking at all the crazy security features on the prescription pad. It was a sample but they can't have samples of controlled substances, so the doctor gave me a magic card. On the card is a phone number which I called. After punching in various numbers I was told the card was "activated" and I went to the pharmacy and gave it to them with my super secure prescription, and then I got my drugs for free.

It's a stimulant that's supposed to help with my ADD issues. Apparently the main drug abuse problem with this stuff isn't tweakers, but college kids studying.

I've continually brought this up, since I'm constantly forgetting to call the doctor to go through the arduous process of refilling my prescription until I'm actually out, after which point it gets really ridiculous, but nobody seems to get the joke.

Well, no, of course they don't. It's like the old SNL "Quintlexia" sketch. People complained that it made fun of learning disabled people. Except the learning disabled people (myself included) who seemed to think it was hilarious.

But I digress. Where was I... oh yes, OOH SHINY!
