So Far, So Good...
[Private]

I'm homesick already. Not that I don't like it here. It's just not home yet. Yet.

I'm always the person people go to for advice--what would I tell myself? -- Give it time. You'll make friends, make a new life of your own that you can share with your family.

God, I'm so codependent. But that's why I'm a doctor--I've got my patients to keep me company. Not an entirely bad bunch, knock on wood.

[/Private]


Anyone suggest things to do around here? Not really a clubbing type so much, but any places where I could catch a good movie or perhaps pick up a new hobby? Legal ones preferable, of course ;)

After stopping in the cafeteria (and having lunch with fellow New Yorker Peter and the lovely Kat--still thinking of a nickname...), the New Yorker in me longs for just a good sandwich. Not something swimming in 2-day old mayo. Good pickles would be nice too. Oh, I could list my greivances, but I won't.

...Because--well--technically...I already did. Heh.

Where's a good pizza place around here? Or a good deli? Good bagels? Ooh...Good Chinese? Or else I should just brown bag it, huh? Yeah, that'd probably be safer.

Yeah, I know--I'm highly demanding. Now to make a quick call to Mom before diving back into the good ol' ER.

Oh, a fellow newcomer like myself! Thank goodness I'm not the only person who seems at least a little lost here!

If you find someplace good, let me know; I'm a Philly girl myself, but I am more than appreciative of a well-made New York style pizza or bagel.

I'm Rina Murphy, having a ball with the kids in Pediatrics.

P.S. I am planning a little I'm-new-here present for some of the departments, so lemme know if you want in. I could use the help. :)

::salutes:: Jake Moore, at your service and at the ER's mercy. I was almost about to say 'Welcome', but then realized that would sound ridiculous coming from me. So, I'll try something more fitting: Nice to "meet" you.

And, sure. Count me in. Just give me the details. I'd love to help.

It'll be fun, I promise. And you'll get a cookie for your help.

Literally.

And if you don't know your way around a stove now, you will once we're done.

Of course, once you see what I've planned.. you can still back out, no feelings hurt. :) It's a big project, but considering that you're new and this is my "coming out" present, it can be a joint effort-thingy.

Conte's Pizza on Witherspoon Street is amazing. :)

You could "brown bag" it.

Yeah--probably the safer choice. However, that would require grocery shopping. Pros and cons to everything, I guess. Taking chances with food I don't know how it was prepared, or else venturing out, getting the stuff myself, and trusting my lunches a little more.

But grocery shopping is so much fun! All those bright colors and yummy foodstuffs... the supermarket is a place of magic and possibility.

XD! You almost make it sound like I'd find Sleeping Beauty in aisle 3. If only things were that easy...then again, I would have to slay a dragon, wouldn't I? Too time-consuming. Also, I weild a mere scalpel, but only in the ER--not when grocery shopping :P

Nah, she's in aisle 5. Though I hear 3 is a popular hangout for a gang of dwarves (apparently 7 was too cliché for them).

The only dragons I've encountered appeared in the form of heartburn from a batch of too-spicy chili.. but that was only after the shopping was completed.

You know your supermarket kingdom well. Guess I'll have to check out aisle 5 then. Dragon slaying or not, I'd end up standing in line, I'm sure. Perhaps I can make it in the express lane--as long as I have 12 items or less.

Ha. I'm one of those people who causes the big line. Sorry. ;)

The express lane is unheard of for me. I honestly can't help myself; I come in for maybe a gallon of milk and walk out with half a cart.

It's a pseudo-addiction. However, it IS better than shoes.

Well, not better than shoes.

Better than a shoe addiction.

Shoes have their usefulness.
