Current Mood:  happy
Current Music: dj spyne - saturday
I have just completed my first week with Epic. All in all, it's been pretty cool. I have had a shload of orientation classes (and will be in training for the next three months), but I'd rather learn what I'm doing so I don't kill patients or lose hospitals millions of dollars. My mentor is just as much a geek as I am, probably even more, and he already invited me to the D&D game he plays in. I finally got all of my paperwork turned in yesterday, so I have insurance. Hooray! Last night, one of my fellow New Hires decided to have a Mad City House Party. (Which actually was less fun than the Terre Haute House Party -- the music consisted of an iPod hooked up to some speakers.) Rakka and I went outside at one point to call Sean, who we found out hadn't shown up at the party because he didn't want to walk there (he was close) in the rain, which had stopped by then. This guy passed by while we were waiting for him to show up and said that we should go to this local rock show at the Corral, because there would be a bunch of bands there to play. After Sean showed up, he, Rakka, Ami, and I decided to blow off the party and head for the show. (After giving the number to Rakka's cell to TJ, one of the guys I was supposed to provide DD services for.) One the way we picked up Tawanda (it sounds like a girl name, but isn't -- he's from Zimbabwe.) The show was actually pretty cool, and featured (among others, since I didn't catch all the names) ACF, Ouija Radio, and Singin' Cyn-cyn and the Ponds (The guy vocalist for that band was PSYCHO). After it was finally over, Rakka realized that TJ had called her about half an hour before and she hadn't heard it, so we dialed him back and found out he was okay. When we made it back to my car, we found him passed out in my car. He woke up long enough to tell me that the other guy, Pat, was going to stay at the house for the night. Then I drove everyone home -- without getting lost. I think that was the best part, as prone to it as I am.
And today Sean, Tawanda, Ami, Rakka, Pokie (short for Poccahontas (sp?)), her boyfriend whose name I don't know, and I are going to a festival at the UW campus. It should be fun.
Next weekend I get to move into an apartment, assuming my payroll advance comes through so I can pony up the first month's rent. Hopefully my debit card will show up at the bank soon so I can get a real cell phone. Expect calls afterwards.
We have come to terms. |
