Parallel Parking, Etiquette, Etc.
1. Parallel Parking
I have decided that the part of my brain that would have Abilified me to parallel park did not develop properly. I never did pass the parallel parking section of Drivers' Ed. Mr. McKeen got annoyed with my ineptitude and passed me out of pity and frustration. I simply can't do it. Occasionally I will try, when there is plenty of room and no one is around, but I only ever meet with failure. Failure and other people's bumpers. (Bumpers are for bumping, right?) Today's attempt put my truck up on the curb by at least 6". Oops. But, I am nothing if not stubborn and perhaps eventually I will prevail.
2. Etiquette
a)Tipping
I got "Carside To Go" from Applebee's tonight. (I had a gift certificate to use.) Am I supposed to tip? I did not tip, and I got a dirty look from the server woman. It's not like she had to wait on me to order or refilled any drinks or anything. Am I in the wrong here?
b)Thank you note
Yesterday I shadowed at the Haskell Health Center for half a day. Everyone was very kind, I really liked it, and I learned a lot about pharmacy in the Indian Health Service. I am considering working for them, although I'm not so sure I could deal with the uniform. Anyway, my question is: Do I send a thank you card? or would that be weird or extreme?
3. Etc.
I found The Chronicles of Narnia in paperback at Half Price Books for $2.48/ea.
$2.48 X 7 books = 1 SUPER sweet deal.

"Abilified"...????

Yes, my fellow nerd, "Abilify" is one of my favorite drug names. When it first came out, I thought it was a PDE5 inhibitor. So, the name makes me giggle. What can I say, I'm immature. (For the non-drug nerds, Viagra is a PDE5 inh.)Then after seeing the generic name (aripiprazole) I thought maybe it was a PPI. Wrong again, it's a psych drug. Anyway, I like to try to slip references in now and again.
