OHSU is an intimidating place for a newbie. (lol) My first day was feeling lost and uncertain, but things seemed a little better the 2nd day. At least on the 2nd day I was better prepared for walking the distance to the office and I knew where I could get coffee and a bagel for lunch. :)
I'm still disoriented because I didn't get that 'sit-down' conversation about how things go, benefits, etc., but I think I can learn by observing, listening, and asking questions. (lol) There is also a New Employee Orientation that I get to attend, but it is not for another week.
I'd like to share my thoughts about the office thus far, but as I am a newbie and don't know the story of the dept. etc - I think I will hold myself. :)
Logistics changed a bit and now I will not be staying with my sis in PDX, but my friend who also works at OHSU. Mario will watch Nat, but for temp. residence I will stay with my friend. This seems better for everyone. Jeff called me a 'nomad' once (in jest) and somehow that really got under my skin...because it feels so true. I just have to remind myself that it is all temporary. :)
You, family and friends, have been absolutely wonderful. The responses I got back about Jeff were so kind and sensitive. I just want to assure you that everything is fine and that I am not bothered in any way. This is a good thing. We still talk, we just are not attempting a relationship. But, it warmed my heart to feel your love and hear your kindness. Here is a hug to you, and you, and you, and... :)
Good day everyone! love you!
