Jan. 19th, 2019 08:53 pmI've been reading about an expedition to climb Kangchenjunga, the third highest mountain in the world. There's no map in the book, so I looked it up on Google Maps. Then I wondered how close it is to Mount Everest, as the Kangchenjunga pin seemed to be not all that far from the general area I'd put Everest if required to mark it on a map. So I asked Google Maps for directions and got this:
I mean, I wasn't planning to walk it, Google Maps, but thanks for thinking I might be capable of it.
My mother's friend, Sue, has just come back from a holiday in Perth. Waiting for her flight back to Melbourne, she struck up a conversation with the woman sitting next to her, whose name was also Sue. Sue and Sue found they had a lot in common. Sue 1 lives in the City by the Sea and her husband has a business in Port Fairy. Sue 2 grew up in Port Fairy and lived in the City by the Sea for a while. Sue 1 is a retired nurse, who worked most of her life at the City by the Sea's hospital. Sue 2 is also a retired nurse, who did her nursing training at the City by the Sea's hospital.
"Oh," said Sue 1, "you must have trained there about the same time as my friend, Pauline Daisyname."
"Oh," said Sue 2, "that's why I'm going to Melbourne, for a reunion of my training group, including Pauline Daisyname."
So Sue and Sue rang my mother from the airport to say hello together.
Finally, in the ongoing story of the job with a women's shelter that I applied for last year, and never heard from, and then heard that the CEO who interviewed me has since disappeared, leaving the person who got the job I applied for running the organisation? Well, the latest news from my journalist friend is that the board had accused the CEO of timesheet fraud, and as soon as they asked about it, she just never turned up again. Which sort of makes sense, because she didn't turn up to the first interview I had; she was meant to, but after making me wait twenty minutes, the recruiter interviewed me alone. I was called back to a second interview with the CEO a week later, and she was late for that too. So, yes, I'm more and more convinced I had a lucky escape there.
