A Day in the Life of an Inventor
I’m an inventor. My job is to invent new things, and I work when I’ve got an idea. My studio
is in my house, so I can work when I want to. Sometimes I work seven days a week, sometimes
I don’t work for days. I do all my creative work here, but I leave the house to go to meetings.
I usually get up at about five a.m. I make some tea, and start work at six. I drink tea all day –
I can’t work without it – but I don’t eat anything until the evening.
First I tidy the studio. I switch on the answerphone because I can’t speak to people when
I’ve got an idea. Then I start work. I usually have a break after two or three hours, but I don’t
leave the studio. I do something different to help me relax. I often practise juggling1. I can juggle
well – it’s an easy way to stop thinking about work problems. At other times I put some music on
and play the drums. I play them for about an hour every day. I usually stop work at about nine
o’clock in the evening. I think about my work most of the time, even when I’m out.
I’m interested in what’s around me and I like looking for new ideas, new problems to solve.
For relaxation I play the drums in a blues band.
