Slumming it

The interviewing phase of the Shed evaluation has finally arrived. We've been led around the horn during the surveying phase so many times that I don't even know ... (ooh, shiny object!) As the Shed's client base is mostly in the Mt Druitt area, even though we're only interviewing the service providers (that God we've got someone else doing the clinets interviews for us) they still mostly are located at the slums of Mt Druitt. Today, interview no.1, was at the delapidated Mt Druitt Hospital. It's quite interesting to get back on that horse (conducting interviews I mean, instead of being interviewed). It's been a few good years since I've done them. There were a few technical problems that we needed to resolve prior, but the hospital guy didn't want to be recorded so we didn't get to test it out. Ended up practising my mic technique when we got back to the office (unfortunately the song that was stuck in my head at the time was Delta Goodrem's In This Life, now promptly been replaced by Oasis's Don't Look Back In Anger). Got 2 more coming up next week & at least a couple more after that so all the mic practice won't be wasted. Only down side is that we can't get a student placement to come in & do the transcribing for us ... ... Who says Work Choices is not good for nothin'?!?!?!
