Healing Feet and Localism
Evelyn's foot seems ok. We removed the dressing yesterday and cleaned it up. The wound is nasty and will take some time to heal but it doesn't look like it is swelling up too much and hopefully will begin to show some improvement in the next few days. Evelyn is obviously
frustrated with the state of affairs and it can't be fun feeling helpless especially when there are so many things you want to do. I don't help either by trying to be do helpfull and running to get her things all the time. I'm sure that just makes her feel worse.
I left her in the internet Cafe this morning and went surfing down at Broken Head. The waves were small but clean fun to surf. However I somehow antagonised some guy. I dropped in on him but I bailed out as soon as I saw he had the wave and gave him plenty of room.
There was never any danger. Still he came up to me and called me a 'fuckwit' and that he was going to 'burn me'. Hey I'm always the first to appologise when I screw up in the surf but the above attitude stinks a little. Still there are always a few bad characters around on the waves but for the most part people are pretty friendly.
I had a job interview today. Pretty strange affair it was. Ash, a guy from a recruitment agent I had talked to about a month ago and had all but forgotten about called me and said that a company from Melbourne wanted to interview me. I informed him that I was still in Byron Bay and not in Melbourne available for an interview. He rang me back and asked if I could do a phone interview in 5 minutes. So there I was in the middle of a park in Byron Bay talking to a couple of engineers in chilly Melbourne. The company was Air International and they wanted somebody to do a job that was pretty much what I was doing in the UK so I think the interview went well.
Ash just called me back whilst I was writing this and asked how the interview went. It's
all very strange this business of recruitment consultants. I'm not sure that I'd put them in the same bag as Real Estate Agents as crafty and devious little buggers but I'm sure you have to keep your eyes open when dealing with them. Still we'll wait and see if they offer me the job and what they offer. I may still turn it down anyway. Life's good here up north and I'm in no hurry to get back behind a computer.
