Martin Blackwood and the Power of Research

It was always the same disappointed glare, the crooked downturn of the mouth, the forehead creased with resigned disapproval. Always the I’ve-got-better-things-to-concern-myself-with look.It was enough reason for their coworkers to steer clear of Jon, not bothering to chat with him in the lift or while queuing in the canteen.But that was the issue with Martin, wasn’t it? Despite the discouraging glances and the constant refusals, Martin wanted to talk to Jon. In which Martin stumbles upon Jon's love for espousing random, oddly specific and obscure facts, and figures he can work with that. (Or, Jon is a nerd about things and Martin is a nerd about Jon.)
