Congrats!! We’ll miss you at BearingPoint but we’re excited about your prospects. As you are knee deep in your book, I hope your blog continues.
I am truly happy for you Paul. If you remember we also met because of your blogging. Well, that and the fact that we both know the same 10 folks 🙂
Great news and congratulations.
Many congratulations Paul! Your hard work and dedication has paid off and it sounds like you truly deserve this opportunity. Congrats also on your new job, it sounds like an exciting endeavor.
Regarding the economy and negative news etc., I have made a point of not watching the news and reading newspapers anymore, it is way too depressing. At most I watch a small amount of the very local news and weather, and that’s about it. Once you start getting suckered in to CNN and watching/reading one story after another you end up on a very discouraging slippery slope that you can’t seem to get off of!
Thanks.
