Confessions of a biznass traveler

• I order boring Caesar salads from room service for lunch.
• Sometimes I order the exact same boring salad for dinner, too.
• I forgot my laptop charger on my trip to Chicago, which meant I couldn't read any work emails while I was away.  I was sort of happy.
• I still feel like a total fraud every time I put on my suit.
• I hate making small talk about all the "exciting changes" in my industry. 
• I wear my PJs until 30 seconds before I have to leave my hotel room.
• Sometimes I pack shampoo in containers larger than the 3oz TFA-approved on purpose just to see if I'll get caught.  I haven't been.  Yet.
• I miss my Tivo more than I should when I'm away.  I don't know how we all survived when we just had to watch whatever was on at the time. 
• I never tip the guy who opens the taxi door at the hotel, and I'm still not sure if I'm supposed to.
• At 27, I still get scared going to sleep alone.

Happy Friday, Internet!  This is my first weekend at home in six long weeks.  I'm looking forward to it a leetle bit too much, I think.

Happy Weekend to you! I demand that you spend way too much time in your pajamas, watch a ridiculous amount of Tivo on the couch, and not care one bit about how you look. Maybe even forego showering for a day or so, JUST BECAUSE YOU CAN.

Yay! Enjoy being home!

Aw, I hope you enjoyed your weekend :) Also, I am totally craving a caesar salad now.

I order Caesar salad a lot in room service. Or a club sammich. My DVR broke a few weeks ago and I was so confused. You mean I can only go to the bathroom during commercials? How do people live like this?

I've never had to travel anywhere far away for work. I do a few overnights per year for our golf tournaments, but no plane rides. That's scary. You are brave.

I hear ya about feeling like a fraud in a suit and awful industry small talk. Ugh! When I did travel for business, I'd always eat much healthier than if I had to cook for myself!

Did you do any shoe shopping while in Chicago?!

Damn, now I want a caesar salad. Sounds like a divine meal to me!
