Yeah, I get the language thing for sure and why you'd choose to stay silent more often than not. I say just own it though, come up with a standard response, my wife is English and she wanted to come home, and be done with it. Something like that.

I don't really enjoy the approach, the kicking down of doors and all that fuckassery, but over the years of doing difficult things I guess I've found a few ways to make it work. In my mind it's not actually me doing the job, it's someone else, the work g-dog. In fact, I don't even use my first name for business, I use my second which no one ever calls me or knows - I mean on my emails and business cards etc. So, it really is someone else. It's a small thing but it works for me and allows me to be the person I need to be in that business environment. It's a detachment of sorts.

Thanks for your comment man, I appreciate it.
