Australia's Science Forum

Hey guys,

Can I please have some details? I've decided if I never ask, I won't give the HNIC the chance to say YES! Also, if they don't let me go to the St Mary's conference, then I can try for the Toowoomba Science Forum, as a compromise

Looks like the Chemtalkers'll be rocking the house this year!

Hi Patti
I all depends on the workshop so can only have 30 some can have more chemwatch will have lots so they will go into the big room

Email me and I will email you a flier back

Hi Noona,
Thanks for that - I will be grateful to learn anything. Plus hanging out with a bunch of white coats should be just as cool. Although I do believe Liz's coat is orange and mine is tie dyed blue!

I have Liz taking care of me with room buddies and transport and I even mentioned to my SAM that I didn't have to be relieved for my Science day just the office day and she was very smiley indeed.

Now I just need the folks at home to be just as happy and well organised and I might just pull this one off!
So what is the story with the coffee mugs? Is that a showbag style treat for attendees? I don't drink coffee - Can I request a bourbon tumbler?

Cheers,
Patti

OOOOhhhh! I drink both! Can I have two?
Lou.

Hi All
For all going to the conference a mug is on offer again this year thats 3 so far
I will have to stay till I get 6 at least

I can't come!

I was so looking forward to getting there & meeting a whole stack of you.... but my brother in law is getting married to one of my best friends on the Saturday after & I've just been told I'm in the wedding.... They're having stuff on the days before.... Sigh... I had to choose... & thought I might be excommunicated from the family if I don't behave!

Anyway hoping for next year!

Yeah, don't people know not to schedule weddings that weekend? I can't go because I have to be at a wedding in Coffs Harbour at 10:30 Saturday morning. I'm not in the wedding party but my boyfriend is the best man so I can't be expecting him to run around picking me up from the airport at 7:30am! I am sure those of you who are going will all have a great time. I went in 2007 and learnt so much. I am still using booklets I collected there to remind me of various tasks that I don't perform very often. I even used some skills the very next work day! I would have had to ask a teacher how to do it but because the task had been covered in a session I'd chosen I was able to do it on my own, no questions asked! I am sure it takes a lot of work to organise such a conference. It could probably almost be a full time job on its own! Thanks to all the organisers, and participants, too! Otherwise they wouldn't do it again next year

Must be wedding season! My nephew gets married in Q'ld that weekend, and the logistics just got too complicated. And I had every intention of coming this year - it just sounds so good. Oh well, next year.....

vlclabbie,
There is probably a logical explanation, but I couldn't help noticing you said your brother in law is getting married to one of your best friends. Shouldn't he already be married to your sister .........or shouldn't I ask!!!
Cheers,
Lisa

maybe husbands brother ???? Oh we are a sticky beak lot srnt we. But we are all family now arnt we. (LOL)

HI All
Sorry some of you can't come this year how dare people get married that weekend
Anyway the good news is that Rosalie From NT is coming WOOOHOOO.
I will not be at school this week broke my finger on Saturday at the boat ramp getting ready to go fishing ,hubby wanted to come home but we went fishing first it was a great day for fishing. Caught a feed as well.
I told him as we were driving home I think this might be a hospital job
So now I am off for a week never had that much time off before so it is a bit strange to be home so long :
All OK

Hope that the finger heels quick and is not to sore for you. With these nice warm days enjoy the time off. You deserve it.

Kimmy

Wishing you well, and hope the week off helps. Feet up and relax. Do take care. What did you catch? Fish I mean.

HIAll
Thank you for you kind words
Went into work just so I could pick up the fliers for the conference
The conference is high on my list to do so I am doing it at home now

Hi
I haven't seen any info about St Mary's yet. Could someone email me a flier/form please.
I have accommodation and transport booked (thanks Liz).


Tina

Just read this post Noona - got your pm earlier and had just enough time to fix that up before dashing off again, and only now seeing this.

Poor you! Just as well you caught a fish though - at least something to show for it!

MNake the most of your enforced rest, sweetie

Hi Tina
