It was a strange day. The Gorse Fox’s first meeting was at seven fifteen and by seven thirty, a colleague was waiting patiently for his second meeting. It was looking like a busy day.
The phone rang. It was one of Starfleet’s most senior designers asking if the Gorse Fox would be interested in a new role. Would he take over as the lead designer for a major Government department – on a long term basis – specifically till he retires. Interesting opportunity, without doubt, but the Gorse Fox politely declined. The job would mean spending 4 days each week away from home and living much too far west for his comfort!
Soon after the phone rang again. Another request. Would GF participate in the design review of another Government sponsored project. Sounded very interesting and would only take a couple of days of GF’s time.
Once the calls had finished it was back to document reviews and feedback. Who says geeks don’t live on the edge?
