Maybe Geithner is on his Chai Break

... because the UK can't reach him for conversations prior to the G-20 meetings.

The head of the civil service, Sir Gus [O'Donnell] said the handover to President Barack Obama's administration was severely hindering preparations for next month's G20 summit.

In an extraordinary blunder, the usually-guarded Sir Gus said no-one in the U.S. Treasury department was answering telephone calls.

He said it meant the Government was finding it 'unbelievably difficult' to hold discussions ahead of the meeting of world leaders in London.

Well who can blame Geithner for taking so long to answer the calls when there is sweet, delcious chai to be drunk?
I have never in my life heard of having a US Treasury Secretary called out in the global media for not answering the phone. Maybe it's true after all:

(T)he Obama White House and their staff are just a bunch of incompetents who got in over their heads.
