Day 27 - Good Sam

Today was my first day of actual work. I woke up super early this morning, and put on my white skirt and purple top, along with some super sexy pantyhose. Not. I am not too excited about this part of the job. Anyways, I went to Good Sam and got my list of duties. I worked on all of that all day and that was pretty much it. Tonight Marsha and I walked to Cheesecake Factory for dinner. Yum. And that was my day. My entries are going to get super lame from here on out. Oh well.

Day 26 - Orientation Pt 2

Today was the second day of orientation. Today I was in dress code, although I wore my black skinny jeans in spite of the bitch that was in charge. I was wearing a seersucker blazer though, so it all evened out. Kind of. Anyways, I talked with the other intern, Jessica a bit about the job and everything. Then after orientation, and taking HIPAA tests and getting our email set up, we went to have lunch near the Tenet regional office. From there we went to the office and met Craig, who is going to be our main supervisor. I also met Denise, who I will be working with a lot. Other than that I did nothing. Marsha and I went shopping after I left Tenet because I need some slacks. I almost got the most amazing Ralph Lauren blazer with a huge anchor on the lapel but it made me look like a man. I usually dress like a man, but I don’t want to look like one. That’s no good.

Day 25 - Tenet Orientation

Today was orientation at Tenet. It was interesting. I pretty much just sat in the most uncomfortable chair for 9 hours and learned different policies for the hospital. The majority of it applied to nurses and people that were actually going to be working on the Delray campus, which I am not. I met the other intern, who is really nice. Pretty much all I did today was go to orientation, unpack, and go to Publix.

Right now I am watching “I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here.” It is the dumbest show I have ever seen. This is precisely the reason that I do not watch television. Although, Heidi and Spencer are both involved. I have decided that I hate them so much, I love them. This whole time I have been watching this show they have done nothing about how the “power of Jesus is washing all over us.” No one else likes them, but they make the show interesting.

Tomorrow I have a half-day of orientation, then over to Coral Springs to go to the office for the first time. Today was almost sent home because I wasn’t dressed appropriately. I received my Employee Handbook from Tenet, not Delray, and I was against the Delray dress code, but not Tenet. This woman was terrible to me and yelled and said I had to leave and come back next week. I went t my car and got my Employee Handbook and showed her what I had received and that I was not violating the Tenet dress code. Although tomorrow I have to wear pants and closed toe shoes, then change before I go to the other offices. It is super early, but I think I am going to pass out. I cant post this until tomorrow morning from Starbucks, along with the last three days. I have been lacking so bad.

Although, new iPhone comes out next week. I can’t wait to get a phone that works.

Day 24 - RIP Summer

RIP summer. You were very short but very fun.

Day 23 - Epic Adventure

Today was the perfect day to end my small little summer with. Jenn and I decided to ride our bikes to the art market. We left around noon, and got there over an hour later. It was beautiful weather, and it was amazing to just ride and listen to music and go through Riverside. The art market was still disappointing, with way more vendors and not very much art. Jenn’s aunt has a stall there selling wheat grass. I didn’t know, but it has a lot of amazing benefits aside from health benefits. We walked around for a while and I got a muffin, and then it started to rain. We decided to just wait it out, but it kept getting worse. I kept checking my phone to find a lull in the rain, but there was nothing, so we went ahead and rode our bikes to Al’s to wait it out. Although in the short ride from the Art Market to Al’s we were completely soaked. At first both of us were completely miserable, but we realized that it was actually a lot of fun riding in he rain. So we kept going and went to Kickback’s. I went inside and just stood in the door until a waiter came over, all worried to see this soaking wet girl in the doorway, an he brought us inside and gave us towel and pretended like it was completely alright for us to be inside, all the whole looking very concerned. We ate there, and got our bikes to ride back to my house. Although in the short time that we were inside Kickback’s, the temperature dropped and it was really windy. We rode only about 2 blocks to Walgreens, and we about froze. So at Walgreen’s we bought flannel PJ pants and huge tee shirts. We changed in the bathroom and looked hilarious trying to scurry out of the bathroom and back to our bikes without being seen. Although that failed, since we saw the whole world. The owner of Violet was in there, which made me immediately ashamed of my purchases. Then once we got past Avondale, Thomas Taylor stopped and talked to us. We were wearing terrible PJs, soaking wet, with make up running down our faces. Once we got back to my house we changed and got under some blanket on the couch with some tea, and Jenn got a tweet from Preston, who also saw us apparently. So that’s just great. It was an epic adventure.

Tonight I hung out with Evan. Went to his house and watched this really surreal anime movie called Mind Game. The plot was interesting and it had a bunch of montages that showed how all of the character’s lives intertwined. It was a weird movie, but very good.

Tomorrow I leave for Miami. Boo. Although today was a good last full day at home.

Day 22 - Shopping, Charlie Bartlett

My mom and I finished shopping for work clothes today. Well, we tried to. We went to the town center and braved the rain and got a few more things. I just have no shoes. I have plenty of sandals, just no flats or anything. But I cant wear flats because my feet are so messed up. So I need to figure out all of that. I went to Express today, and I usually just ignore that the store even exists. But today we went in just to look, and we had possibly the most annoying sales girl ever. I kept telling her I was looking for clothes for a job in a business setting, and she kept pulling out the sluttiest clothes. And her voice… oh my god it hurt to listen to her. Granted, she was very sweet, but it was really annoying.

I went by the gallery today and picked up my very first commission check. $75. Whoo. Not very much, but it is still exciting to be paid for something I love to do. I worked on packing and everything tonight, since I leave on Sunday afternoon. I already have a flight home for next weekend. Thank god. I am excited to start work, but I am not ready to leave Jacksonville. I feel like my summer will be over.

Tonight Rob and I took part in National Doughnut day by going to Krispy Kreme, as always. We weather tonight was amazing. We drove with the windows down and good music playing. The moon was reflecting perfectly on the river. We sat on Robs back porch, listened to music, wrote in The Book and chucked it back and forth. I began the ngiht with it, and somehow I ended the night with it till in my possession. Not sure how the happened. We came back to my house and watched Charlie Bartlett, and I am still watching it. He has work super in the morning and bailed on me for the rest of it and High School throwback time with some Guitar Hero.

Tomorrow is going to be jam packed with packing and riding bikes to the art market and what not. Last full day at home.

(407): in the event that i am dead, my body is laying in the intersection of ... the pearl in springfield. it was my friend's 21st but i think i'm dead. wearing a black top. like i said, probably dead.

Day 21 - School Four, Evan, Delicious Panera Sandwich

Today was a very good day. I woke up early and just hung around my house for a little while. I called Jenn to see if she wanted to get lunch but of course I forgot she was at work. I grabbed my favorite sandwich ever from Panera and went to the UPS store to eat there. But it was lunch time so of course it was jam packed, and I ate in my car like a loser. But I just relaxed and enjoyed my sandwich and enjoyed a CD. Hm. Yes. I am a loser.

I picked up Mikey at his house and went to take pictures at School Four, which we have never done before. It was fun, but kind of disappointing. Most of it was fenced off, but there was one little place that I was able to slip into the yard. My digital cameras are both broken, so I was stuck with film and fish eye. I have to get it all developed to see how it turns out. The majority of the time when I use my fish eye lens the film messes up and doesn’t work. I hope some turn out. The city voted last night on he future of Annie Lytle. Apparently there is a good chance that the school will not be standing by the end of the month. I had a good chance to make a difference a few months ago, but of course my inability to finish anything I start got in the way. We will see how all of this pans out.





Tonight I hung out with Evan, a guy I met at that party I went to the other night with Jenn. That was really fun. We went to starbucks and exchanged music, and it was funny to see how similar our iTunes libraries were. We went to a hookah place in Orange Park, and it was nice to have an intelligent conversation with someone, which sadly enough I don’t get to do very often.

Today was a very good day.
