Travel is for the Birds

[Vic Vega]

I haven't been home since September 9th. I am at least flying to my home State tonight but I have another eight days before I'll get to sleep in my own bed. I've literally eaten out every meal of every day since I left the house on the 9th.

I'm not sure how people do this year round.

Go to Cracker Barrel. They make you feel just like home.

I hear that. Years ago I wanted to be an airline pilot, and that 'suitcase' time turned me off.

He's flying. Cracker Barrel is tied to the interstate.

Plus, they do make you feel like home....assuming you aren't the gay.

I did 5 trips in 4 weeks in August and September.

Only one was for work, and it was still a killer. When I was younger, the travel thing could have been fun, but now I'm happy to be home.

did you put on weight because you ate out all the time?

i know its hard to make good choices sometimes depending on where youre at.

I dislike work travel very much. So I agree.. its for the birds. Company tries to save a $10/night by putting us in an older Comfort Inn instead of a newer Holiday Inn Express. They really have no consideration for the sacrifices that get made by the employees that travel.

Traveling for business is a young mans game. When you no longer look forward to it, it's time to do something else. When I was a 'yout,' I delivered cars to dealers and rental companies that were too small to have their own transports. You'd be surprised at how many there are. I made it to 26 before I was ready to do something else.

Yes.

Even working out daily at the hotel I still gained.

Order salads?

 

[Vic Vega]

I've been doing that quite a bit actually but there's only so much salad a man can eat!

Can't stand traveling.

I anxiously awaited getting rid of my previous desk job in favor of my "dream job" which involved continuous traveling. Though I am well aware that I won't be able to tolerate this forever. During my breaks I now look forward to doing sweet sweet nothing where as before I used to find every opportunity to go on a road trip on my breaks.

Listing to the Steve Jobs bio... this is a good book.
