The Smell of Seaweed

The Gorse Fox had to spend the day in Starfleet’s London Office. As mentioned yesterday, one of the clients has finally sent out their Statement of Requirements and it was time have a first pass through the document to work out how we might respond, and who from Starfleet we would need to involve.

With this finished GF returned to his spreadsheets and the work for his other client. This was again interrupted mid afternoon with a series of teleconferences with Starfleet’s research labs in Israel and in Tucson, and the Media team in New York and Washington.

The call with Tucson was the best – GF had forgotten how much fun it was dealing with the product development labs directly. All the questions get answers, and the thinking behind what may appear to be arbitrary decisions is revealed. (Also GF has great fondness for Arizona, and managed to chat a bit before the business discussion started).

With all of the calls, GF left later than planned and picked up a later train. It was such a pleasure to get home and get the smell of the seaweed wafting up from the beach.
