So I'm sitting in Fujitsu's offices, having been summoned here by a frantic engagement manager and client executive because he needs help with a proposal. I'm looking at a gorgeous view, and it's the first really pretty day in a week - and I have no camera. I could have had - I could have elected to stop at the apartment on the way - but I decided that was unprofessional. I'm here to edit, not take pictures.
I walk in, and the guy's on the phone. "Give me about ten minutes," he says. Ten minutes - in which I could have fetched the camera and been improving the time, taking photos of the lovely view to send home...sigh...
There will be other days. There will be other opportunities...
[and that's the point at which he finally got off the phone and we got to work]
