Being Far Away...

After too many hours on the road, I've finally made it to the destination of my biz trip. I'm tired, and I'm hungry.

When I was young, I used to think it was really cool to travel on business. I used to see people at the airport, or at hotels, with their laptops and briefcases and thought they were having the time of their life, traveling for the company.

Now that I've done this myself for the past five years, I've realised that I was WRONG!

You get really tired of getting on and off planes, cars, cabs, etc. You lose precious time waiting at airports, or just staring at the open road. Time you could spend with your loved ones. You are alone most of the time, trying to make small talk with complete strangers because you are just so extremely lonely.

This trip, I've decided to drive instead of fly here because I'll be here for almost two weeks, and having my car would make it easier for me to move around. That was an incredibly boring drive!! It was the furthest I've driven alone! Could have used some company.

This shows my inability to be alone. I get totally bored from short business trips. What does that tell you about me?
