How to make QTimer fire immediately on start?

[schrute]

I need to have a QTimer that fires every 10s, however, the first invocation of the slot is 10s after the timer is started.

QTimer timer;
connect(timer, SIGNAL(timeout()), this, SLOT(timeoutFired()));
timer.setInterval(10000);
timer.start();

Is it possible to have the timer fire immediately on calling start() and have the rest of the notifications after 10s?

QTimer timer;
connect(timer, SIGNAL(timeout()), this, SLOT(timeoutFired()));
timer.setInterval(10000);
timer.start();
timeoutFired();====>call this func to start right away
