We have the internet folks! And it's DSL, no waiting at all. I love it.
Started work yesterday. It's really boring right now. Probably won't be seeing any kids until after Labor Day, so right now it's unpacking the office & crap like that. (They just moved offices at the end of last school year.) And a lot of politics & stuff that to be quite honest, I don't have opinion or care about, or need to because I'm, not long term. I'm here to do a job and then leave! It's nice. There are 8 OTR's (that is an occupational therapist-- they are in charge of doing evaluations and making goals, then I (COTA-meaning assistant) do treatment to meet those goals). That's the most basic description of our roles anyway. There is one OTR who works with the travel company like I do (Breigh is her name). She's cool, she's traveled before so it's cool. We were discussing how neither of us are too worried about a lot of stuff because we get to pack up & leave when we're done. Anyway, everyone else seems nice & helpful, and it will be nice to work with so many people, and people with a lot of experience. And there's one other COTA (like me). So the next week or 2 will be getting organized, getting caseload and meeting people basically. All very boring!!!! But necessary.
Other than work, life's good. Ivan's manning the fort while I am at work...sticking around while people come to do things--internet, dish, and security. Tomorrow I think the job search will begin for him. Wish him luck. Yesterday when I got home he was ready to go to Happy Hour to celebrate my first day at work! So we did. Watched some TV, and chilled in the hot tub. It's a rough life I tell ya :)
Although, the heat is a little obnoxious. While there is no humidity it is hot. Temperatures are going high 90's and 100's right now. But at night it cools down so it's nice. I've been informed that there will be another heat wave in September probably...I can't wait!
That's all for now. I'm gonna put the pics on so check them out!
Miss everyone
