jet-set

 you're caught in between.  you stopped going to paris as the project has halted due to special circumstances and you're pulled to a local bid which is equally time and energy consuming. in your opinion regardless of the billing situation, you're time is utilized. but others have different opinion and you're force to be billable.
you didn't care much as regardless of the billing nature, you're fully occupied by your daily work.

you went to your prospect, did your session and then rush to the airport for you have a mandate to jet-set and try to seal a deal that will keep you occupied from now leading to summer period.  you welcomed the travel as you have stay put for awhile and it's good to visit scandinavia in the summer anyway ^^.
