Dubbo: Week 4;3

So where I am they are currently building a new hospital. BRAND SPANKING NEW.
They've been laying slabs and all sorts of fun stuff. Expecting to move in there in Feb 2011.
We had and OT meeting on Tuesday where one of the bosses showed us the drawings and went through what goes where and how things will be operating. Pretty interesting stuff. Pretty stressful for those organising and planning it. It would be really interesting to see it when it's done.
So there are a few jobs for the OTs to do before the final plans are made. The builders are going to set up a mock room and they have to work with the OTs to determine the height of the toilet so that over toilet frames and commode chairs can go over them with enough clearance to save catching dangly bits and also that they can go over the toilet enough that the commode pan is over the bowl. The level at which the toilets are embedded into the floor can have a huge impact on whether or not they end up being functional.
Apparently one time a company had to pull out 90 toilets because the equipment didn't fit right over them.
The OTs are also going to be involved in designing the garden area so that in incorporates different terrains, surfaces and areas to negotiate as part of a community access assessment. So there would be ramps, curbs, steps, gutters, grass, concrete, gravel etc. All so that some assessment can be done on site. It would be pretty interesting to be involved in. I'm just sad that I won't be here to see the rest of it happen. I like the designing part of it!! I'm interested in architecture!! I want to be involved!!
But the amount of pressure that rests on those that make the final decisions is pretty daunting!! Imagine designing all this and it being built and then thing are wrong.
Still, I'm definitely interested in it!

4.5 hour day tomorrow. Finishing early and having Friday off. Love it. Very short week. Have to take my time-in-lieu becaue there's 3 trips to Mudgee in the next 3 weeks so there'll be MORE time-in-lieu.

To Queanbeyan tomorrow. To Narooma Friday
YAAAAAAAAAY!!

Side Note: Cheesymite scrolls must be eaten in a particular way. You can't just bite into them like any bread roll, you must eat them like you are unwinding them. YOU MUST.
Dubbo Baker's Delight make crappy Cheesymites.
The end.
