Did I mention that there was a sign welcoming me to my cubicle? Things felt really good towards the end of the week. I had met with everyone to talk about 'education' or 'practice' and the projects I'd be working on. I would get invited to impromptu meetings to lean a little something. By Friday afternoon I had learned just about everything to get started on my projects. I am getting to read the e mails that get sent to the practice section - varied and interesting. I met with a PT who I'm working closely with on a practice management project. She has all sorts of initials after her name, and worked for the last 10 years between a free clinic and a clinic she owned with cash only performing arts patients. Cool, huh? I told her I played the French horn, and she was nice about pretending like that made a connection with what she was telling me about, haha. She is fired up about PTs 'practicing' not 'working' and has given me a new perspective for how I want to shape my practice. The environment is awesome, and has the surge of emotion and excitement that feels like summer camp or a big convention. Exactly what I would want the people directing the APTA to be like. :)Anyways, enough long talk. Here are some quick funnies or thoughts from the week:
At one point I was sitting with two people. One was the past president of the PT board. The other was the current CEO/president of the PT Foundation. wow.
I am starving by the end of the day. Thinking I need to have a 2000 calorie diet for my 75% sitting and 25% walking 10 feet to sit again.
Done an ergonomic check on myself already. Good chair. Too excited about having a good chair.
Learning that they don't like to take things too seriously. The printer I print too is nicknamed Cinderella. Snow White is used by the Practice department.
My commute is now 40 minutes. I leave the house at 6am to park the car at seminary. Jimmy and I exercise (seems crazy, but it works). I take the bus from there. Learning to try to go to bed around 9...
LOFT sweater of the week: Boyfriend sweater.
Exciting news: officially going to CSM! Bought my plane ticket. staying with girls from TWU.
Other news: finally got the hospital bill. Prayers for open minds when my financial application is submitted to the powers that be.

Sounds like a good gig Mags. I'm feeling inspired to name my work printer - it's a little ornery, I'm thinking Pinnochio??
