So I just called my preceptor. A lady picks up the phone.
I say, "Hi. My name is such and such, and I'm a pharmacy student, a P2. I'm calling about my early pharmacy practice experience. May I speak with such and such(my preceptor)?". I continue to explain my purpose, but the lady isn't following.
The lady says, "I don't understand what you're saying".
So she asks, "When did you get your order?".
I don't have a clue. All this stuff's Greek to me.
So I reply, "I don't know, this semester some time."
I ask emphatically this time, "Is such and such(my preceptor) there?"
"No. He'll be back later this evening."
The lady replies, "So are you a student?".
"Yes. I'm a P2."
"Ok. What's your name?"
"Such and such(my name)."
"What's your phone number?"
I say it loud and clear, "AREA CODE ### ### ####".
She replies, "### ### ####. Ok. I'll have him call you later today."
Things just have a way of going nowhere...such is life...
