Garrick Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 Welcome. Have u thought about adding Canberra ACT to you LSD trip? 2 Hours to Sydney and a few IT guys on the forum seem to headed that wayI love Canberra - I love parks, etc. But my IT speciality (roughly 10 years of it) is Java and J2EE stuff...and I've not quite seen many opportunities in Canberra for that...so for us it's Melbourne or Sydney.-G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andre dP Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 Hi Garrick,Your signature says: "Additional tests for Michelle requested....."Were those medical tests? Our meds obviously went together (2 adults, 2 kids) and now on the website e-businessenquiry I see Natalie's one says: "Health requirements Outstanding" but next to all other 3 our names it says:"Health requirements Finalised"If you could answer, I would appreciate, either here or my e-mail: andylec@absamail.co.zaThanksAndre du Preez Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrick Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 Hi Andre,The medical tests (I think they were for pregnant woman) were requested because the results were... not right.We think the test vial was either dirty, or someone switched the vials (they were left unattended for a brief time with someone else going for a medical in the room)...because the second test was perfect - not even close to the first ones.-G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
