Yesterday at 430pm could no come soon enough. I was happy to leave BAN, her frizzy hair and her unibrow scowling at her desk with 4 patients left to be seen. Teach her to leave me all the indepth patients. GRRR... See ya BAN.
A 1/2 drive later and soon I was airborn. The ride was a bit up and down and I chuckled a bit as the girl in front of me squinted her eyes and held her breath everytime we went through turbulance. Im sure thats how I looked the first plane ride here!!
As we landed I noticed squinty girl was wearing scrubs, and turns out she was working up here too... but luckily on her way home. I offered to split a cab, and she was nice enough just to let me tag along. Our hotels were across from each other so it only seemed fair, and besides, have I mentioned I'm on a budget?!!? LOL..
So I checked into the Best Western and offloaded the 50lbs of suitcase. GRRR... and I decided that dinner was in order. And for ONCE NOT KRAFT DINNER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I meandered across the street for a $50 chicken quesdillias, 10oz ribeye, potatoes, disgusting corn and a coors light. OMG I was in heaven!!! And promptly scarfed down everything... mmmmmmmmmm dead animal.... *drool* See why I needed to save all the money?!?!?!
I had set my alarm on the table, and on my phone... took a shower and went to bed. Ahh sleep... only to be awakened by the alarm and realizing it was still dark outside even though I was getting up at 630am. That doesn't make sense.... so I checked my watch... 5am. WTF. My phone sailed across the room and I sailed right back into bed. 630 came and off I went for my FREE continental breakfast. Ahh bagal and cream cheese.... not exciting. And its funny, just at this moment I realized that I still have the danish I liberated in my coat. Mmmm... danish.
5 min later....
So, I boarded another plane...and off into the sky I went again. This time a bigger plane...2 props this time. Still only 9 seats.... ugh. And then I landed at the "airport"... basically a runway with a shack on the side. And once again, just like the first time... "hey follow me and get in the truck" Ok, I'll bite... lets get in the truck... with the guy with 4 teeth. But its only 2min to the clinic and there I am... I am greeted by 2 nurses who are nice already. I get the 5c tour and its time to work.... its officially 0930 lol. Luckily I can start since I've just finished a week and I'm a pro now lol. I ask the charge where the nearest Northern Store is, because I am not living on Kraft Dinner any longer... and she gives me the directions... I will try to go there early next week for food. YAY!
But what to do for today, its lunch time now, and I have pretty much zero. Well, the charge, the wonderful Newfoundlander invites me to her apartment, and makes me some lunch. Thanks MOM! Oh, and she's a vegetarian, so all the meat in her freezer goes to moi! 2lbs of hamburger, bacon, sausage and a couple TV dinners and I am set for a bit. Woohoo. Oh ya, and some Tuna! This is working out wonderfully.
This apartment I am in now is 3 times the size of the last one. Is still 2 bedrooms with a huge living room, kitchen and teeny bathroom. Oh well... I won't have to move this time hopefully.
I have my schedual for the time I am here, and the clinic is closed until Tuesday now. I start on call Saturday at 0800... then remain on call Monday - Friday. Ah well...let the money come in.
So here I sit, finally with a stable internet connection and ethernet cable. Woohoo! Time to sit and relax... then sleep in tomorrow..
