alexpgpIt was cold last night... below freezing when we got up this morning, in fact. (It's about 4:30 pm right now and it's still cold. Brrrr.)
I missed a call from a client this morning. Instead of calling my cell phone, they called my house, and I didn't find out about it until it was too late. Apparently, there are to be a number of meetings in Houston next week, and it would have been nice to be involved in one of them, seeing as how the next ISS flight has been put off again, past the 5th of July. The work would have involved missing Father's Day here in Pagosa, but also would have involved some positive cash flow a bit down the line, too.
Ah, well. Nothing to be done about it now, except to ask folks to convey messages in a somewhat more timely manner, and to hope that the end user's propensity to make last-minute changes in their requirements has not been cured in the recent past. There's still a chance.
I've spent the last couple of hours blocking in the store's web site, which reminds me that I ought to check my e-mail to see if there's any answer from the credit card people. They basically said it'd be a 24-hour turnaround on the "application," though there is no great rush right now. I've got to download some software, according to my web provider, which will allow me to create products for sale on the store's site. More work.
(So, maybe it's a good thing I missed that call... I'm not sure I could do all of this and work a meeting at the same time.)
Break's over... gotta get back to work. (That, or do a bunch of jumping jacks to get warm. Brrr.)
Cheers...
