2nd interview went pretty well, I was sitting in a park near a school, lookinging like a complete paedo with all the school kids wanderin past but forgot abou hat when te phon rang, A pleasant american who thought the name Slade was cool, rattled off a list of about 50 questions covering Linux, Windows, Security and Networking ranging from "what command do you use to list the contects of a directory by size in reverse order?" to "What is a man in the middle atack?", some i got right, some i didn't know but I got on ok withe american so we'll wait and see.
Spent the aftrnoon on bondi beach, thought about compiling a video montage of bikini babes all saying "Happy christmas Andy" but I doubt I'll have the nerve, so it'll probably be my 3 boys in their pants, shouting and doing a combination kungfu panda and bottom waving dance, sorry mate!
Had my usual mcdonalds and bought some sandal type things, pavements get really hot.
Got back about 6 an left at6.15 to go to my 2nd aussie amture poker session downthe road, almost got knocked out in the first 10mins when i was feling tired and went all in with a pair of 2's (stupid move but they are lucky apparently) The other guy had Ace 8 of clubs, and 2 8's turned up then another couple of cards, that's it I thought and stood up and was saying my goodbyes, when some one said "hang on, that's a flush" I looked down and there were 4 hearts on the table, I had hit the flush with my 2 of hearts, I won, he lost, I sat down, he went home!!!! Anyway, after that I was rocking, made it to the final table with the 3rd biggest stack and ended up coming 3rd after someone called my all in on 2 sixes, he had Ace 4, and hit his Ace on the flop. Great fun, plus I was random selected for the monthly regional finals at the end of Jan, the winner of which goes to a half million dollar tournament!
Back home by 10, glass of wine then bed.
