A few familiar faces... :)

after the events of thursday - it was a relief to see a familiar face or two. Without knowing that was want I needed it was reasssuring for that to happen.

Two of the guys I know from Telfer was around and approached me with a smile and a thank goodness someone that is on my insanity level. One of them a guy that works for Pilbara Logistics (hang on that's who I work for) - he's about 50-60 ish - not that that matters - we drink together - he approached me with a smile and a shoulder pat - and made the effort to tell me it was good to see me etc.

The other guy - head of security at Telfer - or at least he was before he was escorted to the plane, and told R&R was longer than the 7 days... a lot longer. He is working up here as camp security - good to know that I have someone looking after me. He approached me after breakfast on monday and did the questions of what are you doing here - and look how desperate things are up here - all in good humour! We actually spent time at Telfer building up a relationship. Here was the system - I would get a phone call about a snake, I would then ring him about it - and he would relocate it - I also had a bit to do with him with birds - he was located in the village - people would deliver the bird to him, he would then ring me, and I would then collect the bird! You see the system - a relationship built from respect of each other! Some how I ended up on first name basis with all the security guys!

I also did a mediation dance workshop on sunday which probably did the world of good.

So I am ready to go and try and do my job - It is just nice to have had that little bit of a push! :)
