    Damn that stinks when your flight is delayed so long.

    I’ve never had a job where I’ve traveled for work. Do you like or dislike that aspect of it? It always seemed like it would be kind of fun lol!

      I mostly like it: I like seeing new places, and I like visiting distant cities (Kuala Lumpur and Singapore are favorites of mine).

      I don’t like flying economy, but I endure it on the shorter flights. On the longer ones I usually pay for a seat upgrade, either out of my own pocket, or with the air miles I’ve accrued. On rare cases the company allows me to book business class on their card, but that’s rare and only for special circumstances.

      I do like my coworkers, so whenever I’m going somewhere we usually coordinate the hotel stay together (flights are usually separate, as we live pretty much all over), so it’s usually the same gang meeting in a hotel lobby in some corner of the world.
