OK, I try to keep the self-immolation to a minimum over on Facebook. And that means that you 1 or 2 people who RSS'ed the CBIP blog have to bear all of my whining. The thing is ... I like this European gig. I like the challenge. I like building something new. I like moving the needle on our business here in Europe - and that's showing results now after a year. I like being the odd American who makes the move to a non-Anglo country with some level of business and cultural success.
But there are days.
And today was one of them: an early morning Eurostar to London, a day full of meetings, and then a late evening Eurostar home to Paris while colleagues back in the US are calling me all along the way. It was a great day in London but the whole thing is exhausting sometimes.
Exhale ... Bordeaux ... Chèvre Chaud ... chocolate ... OK I feel better now.

I still don't see how you're "that guy"...unless you mean "incredibly hard-worker"
keep the blog, - what is facebook
I'm thinking of the Gordon Gekko, Don Draper "that guy" who works early and late and spends too much time on trains and planes.
[Wow, a rare DP sighting!]
RSS? Guilty.
And I can relate to the mixed feelings of business success at the cost of a more measured pace of life. In fact, I am dead in the middle of that challenge.
oh ok, I though you were talking about that "other guy"
Which other guy?
the one that nobody likes
i dont think i could ever grow tired of riding the eurostar. i've also rode it only twice.
