Nuisance Call

North Berwick

I work from home, except when I don't. The logic in that statement is irrefutable, albeit circular.
But some bosses don't like that and so I have to be 'available' and that means being at arm's length from the mobile 'phone during the day.
During a lunchtime walk, because it is too dark in the evening, my boss rang just as I was trying to take a picture.
The distraction nearly cost a very wet camera, it turned out to be genuinely splash proof, but did gain me my PAD.

And last year was grape.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-GX8
1/1000s f/6.3 at 21.0mm iso200 full exif

I think it's a very apt photo for the story. The explosion of the water suggests an appropriately punctuated burst of expletives.

Glad the camera survived so you got this dramatic image.

Wow, what a great capture! I guess disruptive bosses can serve a purpose.

Panny reliance...you have to love that, though the boss has gone to the bottom of the Christmas card list no doubt ;) ⤼😒

I know that feeling - trying to clear the brain with the dogs on a quick walk at lunchtime and the mobile goes!

Your work time is classic present time. Glad i'm retired these past 21 years.
Lovely image of the grapes., Bill

The boss helped you to get this great abstract shot, Bill. V

A very cool picture, despite the interruption. V
