This week I'm in Seattle on my first business trip with my new company. I don't expect to be doing much travel in my new capacity, so this is a rare opportunity for me to get some time out on the road.
Business travel can be hard. It's tough to keep up at work, sleep comes at a premium, hassles are everywhere, and the diet usually suffers. That being said, I do very much enjoy it, and I think it is because, to me, it is a big puzzle to solve.
What time to be where. The best route to take. Figuring out the best way to get a potential upgrade. Finding the gate. All of it is kind of like a big sudoku puzzle to solve. Even when things go totally sideways with things like cancelled flights and overbooked hotels, there is still a component of those situations that energizes me due to my need to figure out the best way out of my mess.
While I don't think I'd like to do it every week like some, it is nice to be back on the road, albeit for a short and infrequent trip.
