Need to Get A Jobby Job

At the beginning of our second week, being that we are settled in a little bit more, I have started to look for a job. I really only started looking Monday and already have been on two interviews. Things look promising and there are more career opportunities here than I initially anticipated!

Jonathan is working in the orthopedics department and loves it. It is so nice having him on regular hours where he leaves at 7:30am and is home by 5 at the latest. He's going to nights for the next 6 weeks, but the way the hours work out he works 5 days for from 9pm to 8:30am and then has the next 5 days off. It's a beautiful thing. His next two rotations look like they will be in General Surgery, but that may change.

Not much to report, things are going well. This weekend we are planning on going to make a final decision on the unit we are going to rent, and then on Sunday we are going to do a tour of Cooloola. It's a rainforest walk, tour of the colored sand beaches, 4WD safari down 40 mile beach & snorkeling. It gives us something to look forward to during these rainy afternoons!

For those of you who worried with us over the Medical Board registration, you should read this article from today's Courier-Mail about any inquiry into a Scottish doctor up in Townsville:

Apparently, doctors trained overseas is a real hot-button issue here in Queensland. In retrospect, all went fairly easily!
