Morning Rick, Jim, Glen

Have had a great holiday, last full day with the biggest midget before he flys out tomorrow. He is such a lovely young guy, am really happy how he turned out!!

He had a job interview whilst he was here, and he really prepared for the interview, we discussed all possible questions that he might be asked, he sat writing answers to the possible questions, grouped them by subject type, practiced answering, then did a bullet form of notes to give him prompts to his practiced answers, then we discussed what questions he would have and what he wanted to know about the job, future, superannuation, leave entitlements, wage level, possibilities for advancement and further training, all that type of stuff. I was very impressed at how he prepared himself. It was for the position of Aquatics manager at the Canberra International Swimming and Aquatic Centre, which is quite a large centre, with three pools, gymnasium, swimming school, all indoor. He found out yesterday that he got the job, so he is very happy.

He is going to defer his Diploma of Education for Secondary School Teaching for a while, he is over half way through that, but it can be completed on a part time basis at the University, and he says that he would prefer to take the position and stop being a drain on his parents (yeah).
