Already a Starbucks Junkie

I've been working at HSC for less than 48 hours and even though I can't find my way through the hospital without looking pathetic and lost (so much so that people take a great deal of pity on me and walk me places) I can easily find my way down to Starbucks in the Atrium for a Tazo Chai Latte. It's just not right to make tea so tasty and charge $3.10 for a tall. It's a good thing I bring my lunch with me...

Hopefully as I'm trying to absorb things quickly enough to be of use to my department, M and Mike are currently installing sympatico service on my super-bitchin'-birthday present computer at home. Which means more blogging, more emailing... the digital presence I was meant to have. I'm so thrilled that I have a computer of my own now. A computer that is mine, from the moment it comes out of the box. Not a hand-me-down, or a composite of other machines, but mine. Shiny and new.

Tonight the sucking claw that is reality TV is going to take me firmly in its grasp and have me watch the finale of "Canadian Idol." I watched it for the first time last night as one of the two finalists, Ryan Malcom, is from my hometown. Which means I'm obligated to show him much love and support. Tonight I'll find out if my 7 votes made a difference.

Today's sing-a-long song: "Starbucks" by A.
