I have to be honest, it seemed so natural to me, I never thought about it, and the people I was talking to didn't either. I also would always take my client out to dinner at least once a quarter. They were not only my client, but most of them were my friends. I found traveling to be an enjoyable experience. -- Reggie "That's my story and I am sticking to it." |

They were not only my client, but most of them were my friends. I found traveling to be an enjoyable experience. -- Reggie "That's my story and I am sticking to it." When I was young and single I would go out to a local bar quite often after work while traveling, but not to talk to some bald guy at the bar sitting next to me but to see if I could get lucky. ;-) After I was married I was a good boy and stayed in my room watching TV or working on reports (dictating in the early years or working off the laptop). If I had to spend a weekend I would go out and see some of the local attractions. But you can see them only so many times before they are not a draw. I indeed found traveling enjoyable for the first 5 or so years of doing say, especially since I never did that with my previous jobs. After that, however, especially after getting married, all the cities looked alike to me and I was happy to get home. I was sometimes away for a 2 weeks........a real drag no matter how you paint it. Taking customers out to lunch or dinner is something I did regularly and do so today. But I never considered my customers/clients as *strangers*. Although I made friends with several of them and remain in contact with them even now I did not generally consider them my friends....that term has a special meaning for me. Just because I grew tired of traveling does not mean that I did not enjoy my *job*. Traveling is a PITA for *most* folks doing it for any length of time and on a regular basis. (That is not to say they do not like or love their job.) Add in the factors of traveling alone, airport delays, traffic, bad weather and crowded cities and you really have a ROYAL PITA. Not fun by any stretch of the imagination. That is why I wondered how often you really traveled. I am glad you enjoy traveling alone and elbowing up to strange men at bars. That is not my cup of tea by any stretch of the imagination. ;-) And I am certainly glad to be home most every night now. |
