Career enhancement

Gorse Fox received a phone call "Can you spare an hour to talk to a review team from Starfleet Command".

"Sure, either 13:00 or 16:00 (whilst driving)" he said.

"Oh, they're busy at 13:00... but think 16:00 will be ok. Can you delay your journey" came the reply.

GF thought about it. Three hours to drive home, chance of traffic, England kick-off at 19:30. No. He couldn't... so he told them.
"OK, We'll call you in the morning at 09:00".

Finished the day and headed to the South Coast, watched the game.

Dawn broke, GF was in the car and heading for Reading. At 09:00 the phone rang...

"Good morning this is Gorse Fox" he said

"Morning, GF..." and the questions started.

GF interrupted "Can I ask who I'm talking to?"

The list started... Vice President of x reporting to Admiral Archangel; Chief Engineer; Vice President; Chief Engineer, Chief Engineer.... etc.

"Oooops" thought the Gorse Fox, keeping them waiting over night was probably was not a career enhancing move! Hey Ho!
