I am begining to feel the passion building up again with in me about my trip. Whilst the job is overwhelmingly huge and it’s going to be hard living without my wonderful Sydney community when I start thinking about the work that I am going to be doing I get excited again. I am determined to do the best I can do.

Years ago the best I could do would simply be creating a kick arse computer system that worked well with little down time. Unfortunately for me I have come to redifine things and am much more concearned with the human diamention. I want to now set up systems that work, are sustainable, reliable, and most elusive of all empowering. I am not quite sure how to do that last one. I also want to try and create in a highly hireacical society a department based on peers with different responsibility.
Part of my dream for the IT Department in the Hospital is that it will be outward looking. That it will be looking how to serve the community in which it is based in practical ways. I am also thinking of doing a thing where IT workers have to go and work in other departments for a day a month..

In addition to all this is the language element. I want to fight for a department where the local language, the national language and English can all be used.

I think I might be dreaming. But dreams are fun.
