Since my bout of anti-gallic spleen (sorry Roussard, you at least don't deserve it), a few things have been going on. We spent a couple of breaks after my return from Oz just hanging around town, not doing a whole heap. I had a strange thing happening with my noggin there for a while and went to AEK Udon for an MRI. Funny thing being inserted into those things. All negative, and things went back to normal anyway - so no idea but I'm taking it as all good.
We did a trip to Phuket and bummed around in Patong. Nice place. Heaps of photos on facebook and stuck one on here for you. Phuket again in the future definitely, or the Andaman area again anyway, next time a little more adventurous than resort town, It'll come.
Back to site and all manner of weird shit. My new boss got the shaft through a strange series of events. He was a bit of a knob, and I don't mean that in a terrible way, he certainly had a lot of good things to offer. But anyhow, he managed to self destruct in six weeks and now it's back to being an army of one again. It's pissing me off. Our new Risk Manager starts in a couple of days, and will be taking on Asset Protection as well. Things are on the change again - hopefully it will lead to improvement.
Following break I ventured across to Vietnam to take a look at a small and as yet unbuilt underground nickel operation. Very interesting, a hell of a lot like Kundana of old in concept, although the terrain etc is way different. Very different group of people, or so I thought at first. Then I realised - this mob are only looking weird becuase they are not a mob of cock smoking freaks like I've been - alas - used to for the last four years. This crew are lean, mean and mongrel as all fuck and I liked them immensly. Knew a couple of them too from Kalgoorlie, typical goldfielder lads and rock solid. They've got 150 metres developed so far - still virtually in daylight, and a lot of work yet to be done. It liked what I saw.
The wedding draws ever nearer and preparations appear to be going okay. I can easily say that, since I'm not preparing a whole lot myself. Nic is a Trojan. I'm looking forward to the day, very much.
Nic is no longer working on site, she has been shunted back to Vientiane to finish off her contract plugging away on Aurion - the new HR database that is strangely named after the best most brilliant company I ever worked for in my entire life. This leaves me somewhat at odds on site - no one to annoy and it's kinda booring. Thank the maker for DVD's.
The job, the job continues. There is never a dull moment in that respect, some bad, most good - we fix the majority of them up. A couple of losers along the way, but that's part of the warp and woof of it. Workplace injury rehabilitation is a good thing, a worthy thing, and great when it pays off at the end. Couple of births, couple of the other,
