Shipping delays... bosh!

I was so excited to have my stuff delivered but just got an email saying it would be delayed by at least a week, so now expected delivery is Dec 3 or 4. Ohh. I'm bummed, but what's another week in the same clothes?

Man oh man.

I'm going to move into my apartment with my sleeping bag. I don't care! I can't stay in the pension any longer.

Today we also had our first full day of patients, which went rather smoothly considering the call center accidentally scheduled every single slot and double-booked several. They also scheduled a full afternoon for two doctors even though Dr/Captain Carlson had to leave at 3PM for a meeting. (Normally optometry schedules their own patients, so this should just be a one-time affair.) I enjoy my patients, who are for the most part, coherent and upright, which is an improvement over the last two work places of mine. I also find the backstories of my patients interesting.

News Update

This will go down as one of the most exciting weeks in a while.

Ran marathon. Wasn't sore.

Bought ticket to Thailand (finally) leaving 25 November. Plan to spend Christmas and New Years with a friend in Taiwan.

New president elected in the USA.

Went out one or two times each night...

Somewhere in here I have to pack up all my things. I'd had grandiose ideas of getting it all back into my two duffel bags, but I've allotted myself one extra backpack. I plan to store it in NZ and fly off to SE Asia with just my small green waterproof backpack.

Next week is the last week at work here. I finish officially on 14 November.

The following week, I'll be camping for a few days, then will have about five days to prepare myself before I fly off.

Tonight I'm headed to the Nutcracker with Ursula.
