Costco

I went with one of my new friends, Bryan, to Costco yesterday. It was actually a good symbiotic relationship, I have a car, he has a Costco membership. We became friends more because we were shoved together into this roller coaster ride known as Residency, but he's pretty cool. I found out that he lived in Kansas for four years as a kid...Kansas of all places. Anyways, Costco was fun, sampling all of the food. Salivating over the plasma TVs. Debating with myself if I really needed that much peanut butter. Attempting to speak Pidgin to the ladies who were serving Dave's Island Flavors. Trying to stay awake long enough to push the cart. Telling myself that I'll be able to eat all of that sourdough bread that I bought. Learning what olive oil is good for.

Then I came home and I slept. For a really really long time. Woke up briefly at 10 pm...then crashed again. I was so tired. Yes, I was post call and I went to Costco, yea to me.

Oh, and a word of advice, always clean out your mailbox of those porn emails that get sent to you whether you subscribed to the list or not. Our program director asked another resident to email a presentation to himself because the floppy disk on the mac in the conference room wasn't working. So the poor resident had to open up his mailbox on the big screen. Luckily it was only the other residents. But we got a good laugh out of it.
