I have been in southern california for almost 2 weeks now and having a job still has not set in. I have had a few days of orientation, two 12 hours shifts as a nurse, and then lots and lots of supplemental classes that i have to take on days I am not working. Oh ya and then moving took up some time too. :) So you could say that I have been a very busy little bee. I think that because I have been so busy I have not had a lot of time to sit down and process that I HAVE A JOB! THIS IS MY JOB! it's still so crazy to me, I am half expecting that when i show up one day they will be like, "oh ya we didn't really mean to hire you, can we have your badge back?" I'm hoping that with more time there those feelings will go away.
I ended up moving down here faster then expected so there were so many things I didn't get to do/go to one last time before I left. Here are some things that i missing already...
Rim's Deli - I mean this is an obvious one. From their delicious sandwiches to their oh so perfect ice, it is just the cutest little deli. The friendly staff, small shop feel, its just so wonderful for so many reason. Their junior BLT with Jack cheese and a coke...mmm mmmm it is good. I do think though that so far I have been craving their ice more then their sandwiches. :)
"Traffic" - Luckily I have not been caught in to terrible of LA traffic yet but I know that day will come, and come often :) The traffic up in Sacramento yes can be bad but its nothing like LA. You arent stopped dead on traffic for 10 minutes to have traffic start going again and notice there was no apparent reason for the stop. There is always like a purpose for it whether it be commuter traffic or a stalled car or something. In LA it just stops. My commute right now involves me going against traffic for now and I am so grateful for that.
Peet's Coffee - The closest Peet's Coffee to where I am living is 20 minutes away in Pasadena. And so far I have not had a reason to go to Pasadena therefor allowing me to get Peet's. Im embarrassed to say that this transition is actually really hard for me and I have debated writing a letter to their company encouraging them to open another location closer to me, a great customer :)
Fall Trees - Yes I know that it is spring time and this is not a concern at the moment, but I am already preparing myself. I missed fall trees so much when I was going to school down here and am nervous for my reactions when October comes.
Sacramento Kings - I will miss going to Kings games so much. This team has always meant so much to me and going to games was always such a fun thing that my family did. I am already looking forward to Wednesday when the Kings play the Clippers at Arco (or i guess SleepTrain now) so the game will be televised down here! Hopefully I will get to watch it with my other die hard kings fan friend Kristen and spend the rest of the night praying that they dont move to Seattle for next season.
And then of course there is my family and all my friends that I have up there, but I would get way too emotional writing about them right now :)
