Wellington - Christchurch - Brisbane on Air NZ. Not so much …
I buzzed into work pretty early this morning to sort out a few documents, hold one meeting and type up a brief report before setting off for the Psychosocial Disaster Management Conference in Brisbane. Although Air NZ are supposed to be upgrading all the A320s and 767s that service their Trans-Tasman routings by December 2008, I’ve been unfortunate enough to land one of the old planes out of Christchurch. Not yet outfitted, it still has pretty shabby seats and 90s equipment and no personal screens. It’s enough to make me wish I’d flown Virgin or Qantas instead. And there are babies and young kids screaming their heads off and the service is average. Blah Blah. The noise reducing headphones are doing the trick, and I’m watching Ed Norton in The Incredible Hulk - which is actually quite good so far.
I have Greg and Stephen from Queensland Health picking me up at the other end to talk about the workshop we’re running tomorrow. So, I’m going to do a little reading of my presentation and the course handbook again once this film is over - I think I’ll have enough time. And I’ll listen to a little Belle & Sebastian and Kora while I’m at it.
Ed Norton has just swallowed a USB stick.I think I should be paying more attention to the film.
