Day 041 / Atypical Gage

This is Gage.  He is a co-worker of mine.  I feel that I can safely say that he is not like you or me.  No, Gage is different.  He can’t really be typecast or labelled.  If there was any word to describe him then it would be “random” because he is always saying something completely out of left field.  I have learned to appreciate it.

 
We initially hired him as a tape runner but soon after we learned that he was an artist as well as a skilled graphics guy.   Eventually, I learned that he was incredibly well spoken and intellectual.  He’s interested in all sorts of things.  Every once in a while I’ll look at his computer screen and I’ll see him doing something random like drawing instructions for how to skin a deer for a survival book that he’s eternally working on.  He’s also been working on a screenplay trilogy for over ten years now.  Something that he would one day love to direct.  He’s fearless and he’s somebody I could picture doing just about anything in the future.
 

Click play below to hear a short 15 minute interview I did with him.   When you’re done listening to that skip to the next track called “McWheel” to hear him read a short excerpt from a script he wrote in high school that has a special place in his heart called “McWheel”.   It’s about a hard-boiled cop who also happens to be a bicycle wheel.  WARNING: Both audio files do contain swearing (the McWheel one especially).

 

Enjoy.

    I decided to listen to this on Monday morning while sorting thru work emails.
    The interview was great.
    THE EXCEPT, with the music and voice. Made my morning. Cut to everyone peeking over cubicles as I laugh and snort thru the reading.
