Day 30 - Colton, Rob, Dad, Ponte Vedra

Today was nice. I slept in until about 10, and woke up planning on doing A Day in My Life since I got my new camera the other day. But that fizzled pretty quickly. Mommy made me my favorite breakfast of Sister Schubert’s rolls, and then I took a shower. I rode my bike over to my dad’s and Colton met me there to mow his lawn. My dad ended up giving Colton more work to do later in the week. Colton and I were supposed to go to the beach today but it rained, of course, s we just hung out in Riverside and at his house. My dad still calls him “Carlton.” I corrected him when Colton was outside, and my dad just said “His parents named him wrong,” then kept calling him Carlton, although he knew it was wrong. It was funny. Colton is hoping to get a job at TCT so today was good all around for him. Afterwards we went back to his house so he could change since it started raining while he was mowing, then we went to see Emma at Smoothie King to grab some free smoothies. We went to Riverside Park and saw some guy on a bike get pegged in the face with a soccer ball. It was hilarious. He flew off his bike and just layed there. Then he stayed at the park, and kept riding around. I would have been so embarrassed and left if that had happened to me.

Colton and I went back to his house and watched TV ad talked to his roommate Reeder then he drove me out to Sawgrass. It was nice hanging out with him again like it was old days again. It was nice. I had dinner at Marsha’s then went out with Rob and his friend James. We went to Biscotti’s and had some cake. I am falling asleep right now really bad so I think I am going to leave this as another really lame entry. No Internet, even though I am at home. I can’t figure out what is wrong with it. And Evan just told me the new Augury CD has leaked and I can’t download it. Not thrilled. Psych time.





I want a wall like this.

Day 29 - Home again, jiggity-jig

Friday! Hoorah! My first week of work passed with no real flaws. Apparently someone already lost their job because of me, which is great. I feel bad about that. Today I started the morning at Palm Beach Gardens. I got there about an hour early and got some breakfast and drove around and explored. When Denise got there we met with a woman and talked about some different events coming up. I saw in this chair for about 3 hours and already my butt hurts. I got a tour of this hospital as well, and thank god no NICU. All afternoon I worked on my bulletin boards and talked to Jessica for a bit. I got back to the apartment and turned right around and went to the airport. We were on a non-stop flight to Jacksonville, but we had to make an emergency stop in Fort Meyers for some reason. Otherwise the flight was uneventful. I just got home and I am excited to be in my own bed.

Day 28 - NICU, Camera, Good Sam

Today I started out at Good Sam, and then Denise and I went out to lunch with Jessica and two other woman that work at Tenet. Afterwards Denise and I went to St. Mary’s for a meeting, and then I got a tour of the hospital. We went to the NICU and that was simply terrifying. I felt so faint the whole time I was there. I saw this one baby who was just under one pound, and it seriously looked like something out of a horror movie. It basically just confirmed that I never want to have children. Other wise work passed by with no more flaws. I went to Target this afternoon and got a new camera, 2 GB SD card, case and batteries for $150. W00t.

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.
