First Week


Well the first work week has come and gone, and yes I know its a friday night and I am blogging, but I still don't know too many peeps here, but I am changing that, we have a ward rock band party tomorrow, so I am there.
The first day was really boring, won't lie, I met alot of the people involved in the comapny. Don't get me wrong, they are cool, and I really like the company, but I was a bit bored. EHE International is awesome!! They really care about preventitive health care and really believe in us as health coaches. My co-workers had a card and welcome balloon for me, very nice. My boss and I "did" lunch NY style, I could get used to this but I don't think my bank account can, yet!!!! Throughout the week I worked on role playing with all the other health coaches, there are five of us, soon to be four because one is leaving. I got to listen in on calls from patients as well, and that has helped alot. Today I did a role play with Jen, my boss, a bit intimidating at first, but I got through it and did a darn good job I might add.
Every wednesday we do "lunch and learns". This is where one health coach picks a restaurant around where we work, Rockefeller Centre, and we have it ordered in for the entire company, lots of food. The health coach then makes up a a sheet with info about the restaurant and how to make healthier food options. This week was "sushi", so we had tofu chicken, which was good, not lying, as well as fish as the main source of sushi, also avocados, spicy tuna, it was awesome. I am up for the lunch n learn in two weeks.
Last night I did hit the institute scene. I thought it would beat down Cheyenne's institute, but wow, crazies here! Not going to lie, some of them, straight out of the twilight zone!!!!! I guess institute is a hit and miss because everyone works so much out here.
BUT THE HIGHLIGHT.....yes, that little miss Miley Cyrus!!! The crowds starting lining up wednesday to see her, mentally retarded can I say, but hey, she was fun and I am developing a new crush, not that I can do anything about it cause she is jail bait! We do have a pretty good seat to watch all the Today Show concerts. Next week is Sheryl Crow, then Celine Dion, then Micheal Buble, so I am not complaining!!!!
Tomorrow is a day to get organized, and then the ward party tomorrow night. I have been running in Central Park, its great, but so many people running there!!!!

The Move

Alright, so I decided that the easiest way for me to let everyone know how i am doing, especially the family, why not blog. Even to my chagrin, I did not want to do this, it will be the easiest way for you to see my adventures, whether it be the events, the muggings, the scandals, and the ladies that I will be parusing with while I live the NYC life....not all as glamorous as you think!!! But then again, it is pretty amazing out here.
So I left Cheyenne/Denver yesterday morning and my good friends Erin and Jessica took me to the airport. I made all the weight resistrictions after I took my laptop out of my suitcase and was on my way. From Cincinatti to NY there was some humour on the flight, or well, some guy and some girl trying too hook up. I really thought they might try and make themselves apart of the mile high club, cause dang, I sure would have - only with my future spouse of course, but I could tell they were trying to get back to the bathroom. He even had the stewardess bring some champagne, if you call it that, in some plastic cups, how wooing eh! BUt I finally made it to JFK, got the luggage and made the trip to the island. On the subway some nice man asked me if I knew where i was going and if I needed his help, afterall, I was looking at my subway map constantly. I just wanted to have my plan down!! Then, when the beat boys/hip dancers boarded the subway with their ghetto blaster and did their dancing, I knew I had arrived! They were teens and not very good, except for the one move where two of them grab each others ankles, (Dirk don't laugh), and did a rolling ah what to can i say...oh, they rolled down the subway aisle, pretty dang cool!!! Then I switched trains, and sat next to a Geisha. No joke! SHe was more modern and in white leather aka in my opinion, a lady of the night!!!! She chatted with some fellow african american ladies who gave her a "you go girl" shout out!!!! To say the least, I was entertained for the whole 2 hour ride in...yup, it took that long....but I did have my luggage and I had to stop to pick up my keys to my friends place up here on 149th and Broadway.
Today I just opened a bank account, looked at some small, high priced apts, and then snoozed and then a friend and I got frozen yogurt and went to the west side pier and chatted. ALl and all, a good day!!!
