I got there just in time, leaving a little after 8 this morning. I'm still confused by the buses because they're so poorly marked and cryptic. And street signs are non existent about 90% of the time. So if you don't have a pretty excellent idea of where you're going and the entire cities streets, you'll probably end up frustrated and lost. If you're me and also cannot remember which directions cars come from, you're really in a mess. I probably need to continue giving myself at least 1.5 hours for commuting and at least that amount of time to get home.
I have also acquired quite a nice limp due to being forced to wear shoes and walk everywhere. I never understood the value of comfortable closed toe shoes until now. I am going to have the toughest and more gnarled feet when I get home. I just want flip flops!
At work I got to meet all 20 some people who work there before I got to my very own desk with computer! I have a cube! I was psyched for like an hour before I realized the implications of that. I'm an adult for 7 weeks. This stinks. :)
At work Sarah, my supervisor, asked me to surf the web and facebook! Yeah.. I'm serious. I pretty much played on facebook, youtube, blogs, twitter and google today, trying to find what people in the community were saying about the Crumlin hospital. I told Sarah that I was familiar with all of the applications and she told me to get back with her tomorrow about using them for the hospital! So I wrote a "report" about using those applications and what kind of impact they would make for CMRF.
Between "work," I ate lunch at the hospital canteen with all the hospital employees. The hospital itself is pretty old and the canteen is very small. It's been interesting to see the children's hospital and compare it to Phoenix Children's. Honestly, the differences are striking. While PCH is rather new, bright and sleek, OLSCH was built in the 1950's and looks it. The building itself is divided into separate wings exposing the healthcare philosophy of the time, something about keeping children isolated. Anyway, ate some rice and broc for lunch with almond crumb and custard. Custard is NOT pudding. Pudding is horse blood. I'm serious. I wanted to throw up when I found that one out.
So yeah came home, went for a run at the park next to the apartments, now going to drink epic amounts of water and eat some veggies before yoga DVD time and washing some clothes.
Goodnight! Love you all!
