Business Travel
Posted by Adam Ainbinder in Business Analytics, Life on February 28, 2010
Today was the first time in my life where I was sitting in front of my computer and I was shocked to see it was Sunday when I looked at the date! Jet lag, or long days, or intl flights, or maybe just the delays are starting to make this one of the longest “days” I’ve ever had. I know following days should be an easy thing, but when you do this international travel through 9 hour time zone changes, it’s easy to forget.
I also failed to mention I’ve been in the frankfurt airport since 10:30 AM. It’s now 6 PM. Berlin time. I think. This photo just came in
Ugghh! Shoot me! It’s like the day will never end. I’m on my way to Crete through Frankfurt and Athens. I think I’ve been in Frankfurt for 8 years, errr, hours. Was supposed to be arriving in Crete right about now, but instead I’m hoping to catch a 12:45 AM flight tomorrow. And that depends on getting to Athens tonight, before 12, and that seems unlikely.
This travel will be about 46 hours from the time I left my home to arriving at the hotel in Crete! That’s a long ass time and what I really hate about business travel. That’s about 14 hours more than I wanted, and with a lot less sleep than I planned in between. Although I deal with this, it sucks! I guess some people thrive on it though. Maybe one day I will. But that day is not today, and nothing sounds better than a warm shower and some soft box (or line of chairs) to sleep on! And a USA hockey win!
