Here's Where I've Been Working

So here's where I've been working. Dad of the Year guessed it (keep your eyes open for your prize!) I wish I would have been a famous nutrition celebrity on KSL though.

I've been carrying around this bag walkin down the street. I actually haven't been too busy with the Census because I can call the people first and if they don't answer then I get to go knock on their doors. My favorite comment from someone was "Wow, I bet you like your job because you get to be outside." Ha, ha yes knocking and calling people a second time to check for quality assurance after they have already answered the census questions once is the BEST.

And Mozy....well after a while of being home I told Ben I was getting board. He told me they were hiring new people at work and he would see if they needed extra help for a few weeks. I didn't think they would go for it, but I got the job until my internship started. For 2 weeks I made calls to Mozy customers whose credit cards didn't go through. It was easy and the people I called were actually really nice. It was fun working with Ben and seeing a little bit of what he does every day, and the atmosphere of his workplace. The loaded break room, full of food, was great. I loved the hot chocolate machine and the fruit snacks, mmmm. New Mozy employees gain about 15 lbs. when they first come on because of this break room, and I can see why. I keep telling Ben that they need a dietitian to stock the break room.

So that's what I've been doing, but this week I went to orientation for my internship. Boy oh boy was this an eye opener to how busy I was actually going to be. Besides working in a hospital for 40 hours a week I have about 20 assignments and lectures to finish on my own time. (sigh) This all begins MONDAY. Only 3 more days of freedom. My clinical rotation, which I am most nervous about, is first up. I have only experienced clinical nutrition through books, worksheets, and case studies, no real live people. I can't wait to see how everything works and to learn from the dietitians at McKay-Dee. Everyone I talk to only has good things to say about McKay-Dee hospital and I guess my preceptor is really awesome. Wahoo!!! All the driving and being away from Ben isn't going to be fun, but hey it's only 9 weeks. I think time is going to fly!

Since I'm going to be driving to Odgen a couple times I week I hope to listen to many books on CD. An suggestions of things I should read?
