'Fishing' for Harry was a way to get away from his desk. He could have posted anything, but 'Gone Fishing' was good enough to get the point across to most. And the rest that didn't get the point could well, 'Go Fishing' with him if they wanted to better understand Harry's need to get away from his desk.
Please no tears for the state of Harry's desk. Harry had a nice desk. He had the whole ergo setup, He had a nice monitor, and of course the sit-stand bits all worked well. It wasn't the desk that chased him off to 'fishing' it was the 'fishing' that lured him away as it were.
With the new day sun just breaking the horizon, 'fishing' meant beginning an environmental data collection set for his sister. Yes, Ophelia had signed on to assist in a case regarding contaminated stormwater runoff flowing into the bay. Harry thought it ironic, she signed on and here he was collecting some samples. It took about 3 hours, but in time all twelve samples were collected. His pre-printed labels made it easy to mark the vials for processing.
Once done he packed it in, and dropped off the samples for processing at Beta Analytical.
Having now made a good start for a Thursday, he decided to drop by for coffee at Stand then Sit Cafe. The 9:30 - 10:00 o'clock time was ideal. The early morning rush hour was now passed, which meant the barista would be rested and ready for Harry's drink order.
Entering the Stand then Sit, Harry let's out a greeting: "Hey Kat"
"Hey Dad. How's it going?"
Good, good, good. And you?"
Typical Thursday, what would you like to drink today?"
"A drip, please"
Kat prepares the drip, letting out a "- got any plans this weekend?
"Not much planned - did you want to come over to dinner on Saturday?"
"Oh, not, Saturday, I've going out with Clio"
"Concert tickets?"
Kat confirms with excitement, "Yes! Clio has tickets to the Tallest Woman on Earth at the Roman"
Wow, that's great!"
Harry side steps the next customer placing an order at his left, and waits in the zone.
Harry's mind wanders, noticing the faded decal on the floor 'Be Here Now' and thought it a good affirmation, too bad about the prior business, they ain't here no more. But they left a mark.
"Trish - Latte!" followed by "Harry - Drip!" is announced by Kat.
Harry says a kind "Thank you" and a "bye" to Kat as he grabs his drip.
