Date: May 9th, 2024 11:13 AM Author: shimmering volcanic crater house I hate it. Always fall behind on work. All the wasted time Uber->airport->lounge->gate->plane->Uber-hotel. Can get some work done on the plane but always hunched over tiny monitor vs. bbc monitor at home or office.
A friend tells me that he occasionally blows off some steam for an hour or so but that loses its appeal over time and he says that if he doesn’t jive with the provider sometimes it’s not worth it. |

Got to see quite a bit of the country and stay is niceish hotels (mariott/hilton etc) in the center of the action. Was swimming in miles and points.
I would not take a job like that now. I love my multiple wfh gigs and being able to see the family all the time. |

it's not quite so bad when you end up with time to yourself to explore or whatever or at least go back to your hotel to catch up on emails and poast |

Date: May 9th, 2024 12:31 PM Author: beady-eyed sepia death wish orchestra pit I liked it for the first year or two. Felt important, didn't have many responsibilities, new cities held some novelty. The next 15ish years it was pure hell. Family losing their minds while I'm gone, work piling up in mountainous heaps. Just horrid. I don't travel too much anymore but I'm starting to like it again. I have most things at work and home locked down, no babies, and no longer give a shit if something goes haywire, I'm confident I'll be ok so why not order a fourth drink at the hotel bar and enjoy the silence.

I stayed on a military base a few years back. They had a cheap bar on site. Everyone was going into town and couldn't fathom why I didn't want to go. I grabbed a pitcher of beer and went back to my room and drank it in the dark. No cup. |
