hi, I'm now in manila, helping the australian business to front the audit. they outsource to manila their citiphone but there is a compliance day 2 review and call monitoring group there that reports to sydney. The manager fell sick the weekend before audit and i had to cancel my ayers rocks trip to fly here. arrived last sunday and was in office 6am moday morning !! lots of things to do to prepare for audit. everyday work 14 hrs. this part i never bargained for, certainly, i thought i never had to go through another audit, now i have to!!

by the way, met up with josie and her husband and kid in sydney recently. we had greek food, mexican , chocolate mud cakes in my neighbourhood cafe. and did some weekend markets together. its nice to catch up .
