Just Rewards
So there I was, in the office, baking hot day and only 5 minutes to go before lunch. And as you may know from my previous blog, lunch is not just a time to stuff my face with scrummy sandwiches, but my chance to stretch my legs on Dolbury hill.
Anyway, I made the rookie mistake of answering the phone just as I was about to leave. After a 25 minute conversation with the customer, I started on the quote I had just promised he could have back within the hour, curses!
Fifty five minutes later my duty was done and the quote was hurtling across cyberspace to my expectant customer.
Right, time to get some fresh air. (And look forward to a very short afternoon)
As I walked up the track, my reward for this tireless dedication to my job ran across the path in front of me. The little fella in the picture is a juvenile Field Mouse and if I hadn’t been delayed by the urgent quote I would never have got this great shot.
So there you go, when things don’t go quite as you expected, just look forward to the good things that will happen as a result!
