So finally after 3 long months of waiting I have started my new job at the Alfred, working within their clinical trials department. It is strange to be back working on clinical trials again, and yet it is also all so familiar. Thanks to the implementation of ICH GCP guidelines, trials are conducted in almost identical ways in most countries around the world. Working in clinical trials is certainly not everyone's cup of tea. It is highly regulated and involves excessive amounts of record keeping to the point of OCD. It is also quite reassuring to see how similar the trials department here in Australia is to what I was doing back home, as where I worked before I was the only clinical trials pharmacist and with the help of my one technician I pretty much had to work it all out for myself.
Goofy has now finished his 5 week puppy school and his behaviour is much better, although that may also be linked simply to his maturation. Goofy has pretty much got a full set of adult teeth, but unfortunately that hasn't really stopped him wanting to chew everything. He does seem to be getting better with Jessie and isn't biting her quite so much. Barnadi was unable to join me and Goofy for the last 3 lessons, as he had to work instead. The dynamic of the group changed over those last lessons quite drastically. Daisy continued to be hyperactive, but the others got bored of her antics and tended to ignore her. Romeo got much braver, and seemed to latch on to Goofy as his new best friend. Mr Fitch turned quite grumpy and Austin was growing into quite a precocious young upstart, in the final week he even tried to violate Goofy....Goofy being Goofy however, didn't even seem to notice.
