Today

My coworkers were shocked - shocked - I had walked home after work yesterday, even with the clarification that it was only a 4 mile walk. At first I was thinking they were blow away by the whole, walk not drive philosophy - BUT NO. Turns out, they were shocked I could walk 4 miles. Maria said she would've had a heart attack. Patricia noted that must be the reason I'm so thin.

Honest to god I am having the hardest time finding common ground in this group.

Not that any of them are unkind or even critical, but my 'social box' just doesn't exist out here. Nor have I had any experiences with their 'social boxes.' I know labeling people isn't the best way to make friends, but come on, when you're sitting around the lunch table the first couple of weeks, you only want to get so personal - I not sure I even know the social boundaries out here anyway :P

In other news I worked Peds (pronounced pee-dz, as in the first syllable of pediatrics) for the first time today. It was a bit of a nightmare, but looking back Im not sure why. I think really I just havent found my pace yet. I have to work Dr Jeffery (pediatrics again) all day tomorrow.

::sigh::

at least the day will fly by.
