When I was on naratriptan, they'd give me three pills per month—and prescribe 'take one at onset of attack, and a second if attack continues'. Three pills.
The math just didn't quite work there.
I wish I could say I am surprised buuuuut...
UGH.
@Three-Eyed-Crow I know, right? Wallace 
***=Probably not a spoiler but just in case...***
So, I hate my job. It's become this toxic cesspool of suck where I am completely marginalized and spend my days wondering why I even bother.* As if I don't hate my job enough, someone that I don't really get along with has been moved to my team. Maybe it won't be so bad, I told myself. And then this happened..
I'm sitting at my desk, thinking through a UX problem. I am in a mental zone. He comes over, taps on my desk (I had headphones on). I hold up a finger so I can finish my thought/what I am doing and then turn to him.
Me: What's up?
Him: Hey, can you make me an admin on Invision? (Invision is a prototyping app)
Me: Suuure but why do you need to be an admin?
Him: So I can do admin stuff.
Me: Well, yeah. But what sort of admin stuff do you need to do?
Him: You know. Admin stuff.
Me: What stuff?
Him: (exasperated that I didn't just DO IT) You know, add people and edit and .. ADMIN STUFF.
Me: Okay but I already set you as a manager and that allows you to do all that stuf-...
Him: (interrupts) Make me an admin. (walks away)
This guy isn't my boss. He's not anyone's boss. He's a designer. I just sat at my desk, stunned that he ordered me around like that. I was shaking with anger and I was doing that stupid girl thing where I was getting tears in my eyes from being so mad. Now, the only difference I can see from one's status being Manager and Admin is that an Admin can change people's statuses. So after a few minutes, I was like .. what-the-fuck-ever and I made him an admin. I think ping'd him on Slack:
Me: you've been made an admin. i would appreciate it if you would not speak to me like that again. ordering people around is disrespectful.
Him: Thanks.
Him: Sorry you felt that way. Wasn’t ordering you around.
Me: 'make me an admin' and then walking away is an order
Him: I said please and thanks. But, if you did feel disrspected, I apologize. It wasn’t intended, I wasn’t trying to be mean. Will you forgive me?
Me: you haven't acknowledged that you did anything wrong in this scenario, just that you feel bad, i guess, that i came away with negative feelings. there is nothing to forgive if you don't feel you did anything wrong. just try to be cognizant of how you treat your coworkers in the future.
At that point, he came over to my desk and talked to me in person. Which was better. He apologized for being rude and I told him that what he did made me really upset, that he shouldn't do it again and that he should be more aware of how he treats his coworkers. Him coming over did make me feel better but we will see if it was sincere or if this behavior happens again. he did thank me for bringing up my feelings and I was glad that I did it since my tendency is to keep things bottled up. But god dammit, did that day suck.
** I am trying to get out of there. The sticky problem is that because of the marginalization, I don't have the best stuff to put in my portfolio. Uuuuurgh.*

Jesus. That's a hell of a series of takes on Black Panther, I guess.
That looks awesome!
