1/7 First Day - Done!

Aloha, Ohana!

I successfully completed my first day at the new job. That's a pretty vague statement, though - it was only orientation in a conference room. I have yet to see my department, or meet the people I will be working with. But I met some nice people, none of which will be near my department. One girl is a student, there for 12 weeks, who went to LSU so we were joking about the big game today. The other is a nursing supervisor, she ended up giving me a ride home because it was impossible for Jesse to come get me. That or he just wanted to watch the game and he was faking being busy - but whatever! ;) I decided I need a place RIGHT by the hospital - to avoid all traffic and so I have a better chance of getting out of here ASAP and not needing my car. But I do. But whatever! I'm having a hard enough time finding an apartment.

Hmmm, well the temperature today when we were driving home was 82 at 5:00 - not bad, but I hear Ohio had 66 degrees today! That's pretty warm. Traffic is horrendous here - the drive in was clear until this one area where three ramps all merge at once, then it was major bottle-necking. The ride home, however, was way worse. It's now 7:00 and it's still slow from what I can see from here. And it's like this every. single. day. You'd think they'd make some more highways but whatever - this is why it'd be best for me to live by the hospital so I could avoid all that nonsense.

I went for a walk on my lunch today (a block - huge walk!) and saw this stream that ended up in a mini waterfall:


And I watched the disaster of a game tonight - boo OSU. I'll hear about that tomorrow...
and I just got done with a smokie treat (did I mention I cannot smoke at work? I went all day without a cigarette!) - and got my first bug bite! I think it was a mosquito - I can't remember the last time I got bit!! Boogers....

Unfortunately I don't have much to talk about. My orientation was nothing to write home about...I won't meet anyone til tomorrow...and I'll start on Wednesday and hopefully know my schedule better. Sorry I didn't have much else to say....

me.

PS - it's 10:19....I just went to take a shower and realized I have had my underwear on inside-out all day. That's what you get for dressing in the dark.... :)

PPS - Look what i got today!!! My badge - I look uber important now.
