Re: Ignisecond, n.:
We employed a real genius in his field but often these clever people see things in other dimensions. At the interview he was clearly the man we needed and seemingly very competent. Salary and perks were agreed and a start date fixed.
He turned up on the day, everything went well and we got off to a cracking start; he really was very good.
At lunchtime his company-car arrived and we went to look it over. When it dawned on him it was part of his employment package, and indeed he would need it to visit sites around the country, he bashfully admitted, "I can't drive."
Now this was a bit of a blow. We wanted to keep him so we took on a trainee with duties to drive him until he passed his driving test.
