another missed connection, la-di-dah

today the architect called back, which would have been a good thing except that I couldn't take her call because I was working a customer issue that ran over.  by the time I was able to get off that call it was too late for her. 
oh, well, some other time. 

I find that I have come to accept the differential rate at which time flows for any activities associated with the building trades, which is fine but I need to be more careful about letting this seep into other aspects of life.  in the Salt Lake City airport when somebody asked me about his delayed outbound flight I found myself responding "bad karma" before (actually: instead of) formulating a more suitable response.
