Traveling for work sucks. There might be a rare occasion where it isn't bad but most of the time you are wasting time at airports/on planes and typically working pretty long hours. Sure you might get a nice dinner or two but totally not f***ing worth it.

It was glamorous for about 1 year when I was 23 and I could expense super expensive meals. Then it wears off, you gain weight, you lose your hobbies, you barely ever sleep in your bed and you learn to hate every single vacationing family in the history of the airports.

 

I was on the road 3 weeks out of every month at one time.

It really appealed to me in college and I was all gungho to work for Deloitte Consulting and had a few friends working there so thought I would have an in, then I talked to them more about their work/life and by junior year I decided I didn't really want that.

 

While I wish my office was closer to/in downtown, I know that if I stick it out there it'll be great for when I move back to the burbs.

Anyone else use Snapchat? I love it and think it's absolutely hilarious at times, but my buddy's wife just sends the stupidest ones out. "OHH LASAGNA MMMMM." I don't give a s*** what you are eating for dinner, send me something of you doing something funny

The beauty of snapchat is if you don't like what they sent you, you can stop looking at it one second later.

Snapchat can be a lot of fun.

I'm picking up what you're putting down.

 

And yes. God bless snapchat.

You're odd.

Correct but that girl does nothing for me. You also seem to have a very different "type" than I do, except Taylor Swift, we agree on her.

 

We need to revive the hot chick thread.

Which lucky Soxtalker won the Mega Millions?

 

I bought $5 worth last Friday before it rolled over the last time. I won $2. I went to cash it in but the cashier misunderstood me and ended up giving me $2 worth of tickets instead. This time around I won $1.

 

So net loss of $4. <_>

I was actually shocked that I matched the powerball twice in a row. But I think I'll be ok.

 

My wife told me that she gave a co-worker $10 for gas when said co-worker used her last $2 on scratch off tickets. Then later a customer came in and gave her a $20 gift card. Kind of a pay it forward in reverse. So that makes up for my $4 loss. :lol:
