Why do people in my office complain about going on business trips? I'm on the first of my career right now, and I am sitting in an airport lounge drinking a beer and bbs'ing. At 3:00. On a Wednesday.
Business travel is like being a rich drunk guy.

while i don't completely disagree with your overall post, i think there's your answer right there
-
not all business trips are created equal.
Like, drinking Sam Adams at an Texas Roadhouse in Alabama by myself isn't much fun, but drinking a Green Line in Chicago right before a concert with work friends isn't half bad at all.
-
A lot of it depends on where you're going and what you have going on at home.
I go to San Fran a couple times of year and I love it. Spent two months in Albany for work once. I could live without going there again.

On a scale of lonely texas roadhouse in alabama to camaraderie filled chicago concert, where does "meeting old friend in san fran" come in?
-
try getting sent to BFE Montana, then tell me how awesome business trips are.
-
I don't know how road warriors do it. I've got a buddy who does the 2 suitcase thing like Clooney in Up in the Air.
I "get" to go to Orlando next week for business, as I do every January. And it blows.
-
the first business trip i went on, i got really boozed up drinking scotch on the plane. checked into hotel and went downstairs to the hotel bar. got really pak'd and met a couple guys who helped produce the rosie o'donnell show. the 3 of us hopped into a cab and went to a strip club where i proceeded to fall in love with a stripper. got home really late. woke up after a 30 minute nap and had to be at the convention center in like 15 mins. it was tough. much more work than regular.

On my way to san fran. Staying at the omni. Any recommendations for free time? I don't leave until saturday afternoon, so friday night is wide open. Will be with older brother and old friend from high school.
-
I think a lot of it has to do with leaving family / friends / home life frequently. If you aren't tied down to much, it seems pretty great.

I love travel for business. next week I'm flying OMA-SAV (three nights at Savannah Andaz) SAV-JAX (one night at aLoft Jacksonville) JAX-SAV (one night at the Mansion on Forsyth) SAV-ATL (one night somewhere in Buckhead) ATL-OMA. going to be fantastic. I also love drinking at airport bars and talking to random travelers. it always makes for great conversations because everyone is from all over the world. plus airline/hotel miles obviously.

but seriously, I'm going to fidlar and pangea and I'm not ashamed to stand next to people from Kansas in what is sure to be a hipster-filled event.

I'm trying to find a job that has me travel most the time. I can't think of anything better than a single, 28 year old, traveling all the time for his job.

i've traveled once for business in my young career and it was to vegas. stayed (for free obvi) on the strip, got upgraded rooms, and did very well at the tables all week. so it's probably only going to get worse from here.
-
First Job out of college I traveled about 2 times a month, only downside was I only got to travel in the midwest except for the random conference.
I've Broken down my stops into
Awesome!
-Chicago- Swung a trip there on my bday and had a scotch in the hancock building
-Vegas- Duh
-Madison- Best beer ever at Ale Asylum
Meh
-Minneapolis- Dont go in the winter, suprisingly good ethiopian food though
-Milwaukee- Airport flooded while I was there, i did go to the "beach" one day though.
-Jacksonville- Like Savannah but bigger and poorer.
-Phoenix- Imagine Corporate Woods but 110 degrees, did have a great time at the Thunder Dan Marje bar downtown.
-St. Louis- Was hung over the entire time as I had just got back from vegas less than 24hrs before. Box at cards game though
Ewww
-Evansville- Gross
-Springfield(IL)- Stupid
-Des Moines- Like wichita but bigger!
-Cleveland- Went to a local watering hole, was talking to a couple locals and asked what they did...Both were on unemployment
-Decatur- Smells like Corn
-Champaign/urbana- Dont remember
-Cincinnatti- Skyline Chili is absolutely terrible
-Birmingham- Comment from boss as we are leaving "You know the blacks sure are different down here compared to Kansas City"

I've vetted my ability to be happy in a bar in pretty much any city I'm in, so I think I could keep every city at the "meh" level or above on a short term basis. That said, I've never been to the southeast other than Orlando.

Appreciate it, michcat. If i make it, i will bring you a purple rose and offer it to you bachelor-style. Hipster band could be a tough sell to my company of manly men though.
-
Are you saying what I'm doing isn't "manly" enough for you and your bros?
-
No, I'm using my friends as an excuse to not go to that concert.

I don't travel a ton, but usually when I do it's for a week or two at a time and often internationally. I hate being gone for 2 weeks. Really sucks, and I don't even have kids. Certainly don't mind travelling mid-week within the US to a decent place (or even a new place, even BFE Montana). Also like those opportunities to go places and see things I never would have on my own (like in 2012 got to do a week in Israel and check out both Tel Aviv and Jerusalem). But I also had to do Miami like 5 weeks in a row. That got old quick, even eating and partying in South Beach almost every night.

I like doing two weeks internationally because you are almost always assured of at least one day to explre.
I know a guy who used to go to China from California and was in China for one day. ugh

I travel way way way to goddamn much. I'm stuck in rough ridin' Fond du Lac, Wisconsin this week. I can't watch the cats game tonight because this crap hotel doesnt have ESPNU :angry:

Business travel isn't too bad, but it depends on what it is and for how long. Being young and single doesn't make long stays a hassle. I could see if one had kids, a wife, etc. it being really really taxing. Like right now my boss travels about once every week to two weeks and guy next to me travels about once every other week right now, too much for me. Right now it's nice cause it's like a get to travel about once every month or two which is a nice change of pace from being in the office. However, if travel happens frequently and back to back (as it has once or twice the past year) it can get old quick. Field assignments on the other hand are a whole different issue and while I do like them (granted, my field assignments haven't really been of long length, only about 2 weeks at a time) if they interfere with missing my first home game in 5 years it can make you pretty :curse: Especially when the thing that goes wrong that keeps you there 3 extra days goes wrong a 4:50 pm the afternoon of the day before you're supposed to go back, oh well. Good experience nonetheless, and got to explore Durango CO for an afternoon. Also, if you travel by yourself as I did for any long period of time, you really, really end up hating eating dinner at a sit down place, never feel more lonely that being at some restaurant by yourself eating. Ended up just grabbing something quick and eating in my room, as antisocial as it sounds.

No way. Eat at the bar and strike up a convo with the bartender and others at the bar.

I love eating at new places alone

Yeah, prolly should do that, better than in the room looking over drawings by a mile

When we go we're guaranteed the weekend, for sure. But like here's what I'm talking about:
Sunday, Day 1: Fly MCI to Frankfurt, Frankfurt to Copenhagen, get to hotel early Monday morning
Monday, Day 2: Nap, wake up and walk around Copenhagen for dinner, try to get some sleep
Tuesday, Day 3 through Thursday, Day 5: work hard, pretty much no personal time, but nice dinners out every night
Friday, Day 6: Fly Copenhagen to Frankfurt, Frankfurt to Tel Aviv, afternoon and evening free in Tel Aviv
Saturday, Day 7: Free day, travel to Jerusalem an tour around, stay the night in Jersalem
Sunday, Day 8: Free day, go to Dead Sea, climb Masada, head back to Tel Aviv that night
Monday, Day 9 through Thursday, Day 12: work hard, no personal time, dinners out every night
Friday, Day 10: Fly Tel Aviv back to MCI (not direct of course LOL)
Yes, it's fun, but I just hate being away from the things I love and care about much more than work for two weeks. Also hate giving up a Sunday to travel for work. But like I literally got to touch the ground where Jesus ascended to heaven (the second time, I think, allegedly).

That's really a pretty pud/great schedule. I would avoid the nap on day 2, personally. Do you mind me asking what industry you're in?

Work for a manufacturer (mostly B2B products), but my group was into radical innovation. Recently it just got too radical and our group was disbanded. Still employed and looking for a job internally. Will really miss that job.

No denied. I travel for work and 97% of the time I wish I was by myself when I am with others. I enjoy sitting at random bars and not talking to work people after work.
-
I also love drinking at airport bars and talking to random travelers. it always makes for great conversations because everyone is from all over the world
people really do this? i thought that was just in movies. :dunno:
-
man I was going to say I went to Phoenix last year and it was cool, but then tel aviv guy came in here and now I'm self conscious
-
I've traveled to cool places with cool people from work and it's way better than traveling alone. But the wrong people can make traveling alone way better.

I believe this completely answers the traveling with co-workers issue. Well put, michigancat.

Worst co-workers to travel with? Ones that only want to eat at a place like Logan's or Applebees but insist on doing it as a group.

Just drink in front of them, like I do, and brag about the fifth of booze you have in your room that you'll be cracking when you get back to the hotel. Works for me.

not fun.

also bad is the person on the other end insisting on making room reservations for everyone to collect all the hotel points. lol, I'm changing that to my account number when I check-in dumbass.

let's be honest here. approx ~85% of business travel isn't really required.

That might be a bit high, but I am flying to IST in about a month for a meeting regarding my job that I no longer have responsibilities for. It is not a farewell party. ;)
-
let's be honest here. approx ~85% of business travel isn't really required.
the sole purpose of my next work travel is basically for me to meet a bunch of guys and become better buds with them. this is actually the purpose of most of my travel now. I used to have defined specific tasks to complete but those are a thing of the past. before all of my travel I get tons of emails from the bros/brodettes I'm going to meet about how PAK'd we are going to get and how elite the places we are going to eat are.

yup, it's weird. maybe a government conspiracy or something.

No. I work in sales and I can tell you that egotistical know-it-all control freak hot head sales people are the worst to travel with. The trip home is the worst because you have to listen to some fabricated story of some hot chick they picked up the night before and banged in their hotel room.

Would rather your conversation to be about how Apple is evil, but Google is even more evil? Literally had ZERO in common with this guy. Couldn't talk sports, outdoors, politics, nothing.
ETA: One time this guy almost got us both thrown off a flight because he had put his bag (with iPad) in the overhead, and another passenger was trying to fit his bag up there and was kinda banging it around. Guy snapped, went from calm to hysterical in 1.2 seconds. Had to get in the middle and calm him down. Other passenger was like "jeez sorry man, didn't know."

Maybe you should learn carry on a conversation about things that aren't sports, outdoors, or politics.

ETA: One time this guy almost got us both thrown off a flight because he had put his bag (with iPad) in the overhead, and another passenger was trying to fit his bag up there and was kinda banging it around. Guy snapped, went from calm to hysterical in 1.2 seconds. Had to get in the middle and calm him down. Other passenger was like "jeez sorry man, didn't know."
You might have a point. A mythical sex story is probably better than computer talk.

He would have no idea what "Sportscenter" is. I'm serious. Also, didn't want to put this out there...but the guy is Indian (from India), complete with Indian aroma.

Does he have an elite "thank you, come again" accent? I think I might enjoy, if only briefly, somebody flipping out with that accent.

He does, but it's mixed with an Oklahoma draw (went to OU). No crap. Indian guy who says "y'all." Very unsettling.

but seriously, I'm going to fidlar and pangea and I'm not ashamed to stand next to people from Kansas in what is sure to be a hipster-filled event.
Appreciate it, michcat. If i make it, i will bring you a purple rose and offer it to you bachelor-style. Hipster band could be a tough sell to my company of manly men though.

Simply adjust your expectations for housing and you can make it work. Come on! We'll have lots of fun!

When I was just a little youngter my and my mom would go on business trips she would always bring back a little knick knack or souvineer from whatever place she went to. My favorite one was a little mini replica of the Sky Dome in Toronto when it first opened.
I thought this was a nice jesture and have continued this. I'll usually bring back a Tshirt of a local team or something and give it to a GF or my roomate.

No, not that many. Kids make up a lot of that 50,000 number and they have no choice as to where they live. Most of them probably dream of one day getting out of Salina and living some place elite. Life will beat down many of them and then with a heavy heart they will choose to remain in Salina.

I skip lunch some days at real work and usually don't eat breakfast. When I am traveling on business, you can bet your ass 3 meals a day are going on that corporate card.
plus booze plus I'm not working out.

Boozed it pretty hard while watching the Milan v Barcelona game at the bar in Milan on Tuesday. Hungover flying is not fun flying.

In first or biz it's better than being at home hungover

I rode back home hung over as hell one time, sitting right next to THE Stan Weber. I suspect that he knew that I had projectile vomited all over the bath room immediately before boarding the plane, because he had a nose attached to his face.

Just completed a terrible one. Drove 3.5hrs last night for a meeting that started early this morning. Got the email last night that some others flights were delayed and we would start late. 6 this morning got the email that their flights were cancelled and so was the meeting. Drove back this morning and am now at my desk.

you know what's kind of awkward but kind of fun? like, doing business stuff with business type people you just met all day and then getting really blasted at night with them and making questionable decisions and then meeting for more business type activities with them the next day. like, are you bros/brodettes now that you did that thing or back to business only and never mention it again? everyone handles it differently and some people seem really awkwardly pained from dealing with it. I kind of bullshit with everyone right away anyway so it makes it easy for me.

Dead on.
I got blasted with a business meeting counterpart in another country on a business trip the second night of week long meetings. Was awesome the next day...he cut the meetings short because he was all hung over and needed some hair of the dog. I imagine our conference room reeked of sweat and rum.

Younger dobber had a business meeting in Atlanta. A group of young, good looking, allergic to sleep business friends, including younger dobber, went out to Buckhead until 4am and then said eff it and drank a couple more beers back at the hotel and went to bed at 5:30. Slept for 2 hours and walked into our 8:00 am meeting.
Fastforward to the group dinner that night. Lots of high level people present. The handsome group of 6 studs was feeling quite shitty and tired. After dessert, we were all asked to go up to the revolving hotel bar for a drink. We said sure, as it was 9:30 or so. One drink and then off to bed, right? Unfortunately, the highest ranking dude at the meeting was well rested from the night before and wanted to go out for a few drinks. Three of us said, eff it, we can do this. We grabbed another guy along with the big wig, who was probably 35-40 years old and off the 5 of us went.
We got back to the hotel at 4:30 am. The big wig, with his European accent, said to us, as we rolled out of the cab, "I have nothing left to offer you except a drink from my mini-bar." I looked him right in the eye, and with both birds shoved in his face, said, "eff YOU! I need some sleep!" He laughed and we all went to bed.
Young dobber was a trooper and made it to the first meeting at 8:00am. The European big wig was so hung over that he said eff it and made his first appearance for the day, wet haired and red eyed, at the line for lunch. I am sure he told the other execs that he had jet lag or some crap.
Side bar 1. I met him again 2 years later and he just laughed when he saw me. The manager I was with couldn't believe that this guy new me.
Side bar 2. Two years after the second encounter, this guy mysteriously took a job about 3 levels beneath where he was. Word got out that the wrong person caught him nailing his secretary on his office desk.
If you were wondering, the guy's name is STUD.
