Location is not the best as it will be around 50 minutes to work.
Ah, but that depends where you live.
You could always move. :D

But first things first.
Get the job then we can discuss it further. :lol:
They took me around the office and they have reached the limit there and they are looking for a new place. I voiced my concerns that this location was probably at the limit of my travel and he said that it would probably be closer.

Yesterday morning I registered on the Canadian developers website for a free trial of the software that they sell. I'd seen it on the companies website but they said a sales rep would call me whereas the developers site said all I had to do was supply my email address and they would send me a link to download it. When I was at the interview Michael (The owner) said he had received a request from Canada for a demo of the software. This morning Michael has sent me the link to the software so that I can download it and said to call him if I need any help. Good sign do you think????

No word yet :no: .

Today I get an email from the guy that interviewed me giving me a link so I could down load the software. I install the software on my machine and I draft up a quick training manual framework. I send it too him in an email saying here is an example of my work and if I joined I would be able to complete a comprehensive set of training manuals while learning the software at the same time.

I then had a busy afternoon. They wanted a work reference from Pronto. My manager has subsequently retired. Anyway I suddenly remember that I did a lot of work with one of the software development managers. I ring up and ask to speak to him but he's in a meeting and not available until 3.30. Finally get to speak to him at about 3.15 and he says he'll be my reference and to get them to call him after Easter. I ask if they could call him in the next 5 minutes if he could have a quick chat to them and he agrees.

They start talking to Natasha (my consultant) about how my short term memory mat effect me in the job. I go through all the things about the compensation strategies that I use and how I stay very organised etc etc.

Anyway both references are in but they won't make the decision until after easter :no: :no: . So anyway I'll stay positive, what will be will be.

It all sounds very positive, even though waiting until after Easter will be hard. Just enjoy the holiday and know that you have done all that you can.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you. :)

erm ... does aus have employment laws that legislate against employers asking about the implications of your brain injury???? surely the fact that you are doing the job you do now shows your brain injury has naff all to do with anything ... :angry: plus the fact that you have been discharged from the hospital shows there is no need for further management ... sorry, just makes me so mad to see how people see brain injury as an enduring problem instead of seeing how adaptation and management means the person can live a normal life no different to anyone else :( mal has come across this sort of attitude before ...

On Friday I thought I'd send them an email which explained how my short term memory effected me and how I dealt with it. I got back from our camping trip and I checked my email and I had a bounce back email with a really weird error.

<mfisher@**.com.au>: Remote host said: 550 5.7.1 Recipient not authorized, your IP has been found on a block list [RCPT_TO]

Anyway yesterday I log into my work email and send it from there. I have just logged back in and found the following

Hi Matthew,

Thanks for the e-mail. We have been away with our kids in a no mobile coverage area so apologies for the slow response. We had already made up our mind on Thursday that we would like to make you an offer. Details will be forthcoming tomorrow, enjoy the rest of you break and thanks for your interest in our company.
Cheers,
Michael
