I do training and consulting for a software company. It's a fucking grind. I am on the road > 50% of the time. Most of the time I'm training idiots who don't have a great deal of Windows experience. I find myself constantly repeating "your other right-click, you fucking boon" under my breath.

The travel sucks ass. I sit in airports and lay around in hotels all day. This year I've flown 20 round trips already. The exotic locations include Torrance, Manchester, Providence, Portland, Orlando, and Miami to name a few. I'm always to beat to venture out and see the sites. I usually just get the newest porn on the hotel pay per view and talk the front desk into putting it onto a separate bill so my expenses won't be scrutinized.

The only saving grace is the airline mile, Marriott Rewards, etc. I've got more Southwest round trips than I know what to do with. I've been ebaying my rapid rewards vouchers.

Anyway, the money is good, so I'm more or less stuck. My college degree got me here, but now my lifestyle and mortgage is keeping me here. I wish sometimes that I could just stock shelves at Caldor like I did in high school. Anyway, I guess I shouldn't bitch so much when some people are unemployed.
