Business trip!

Tomorrow I leave for a long business trip. I suppose it's not long as trips go, but I will be 2,000 miles away for 6 days, during which I will probably work 70 hours. It's nothing compared to a doctor, I know, but it is draining!

In the next week...
I will sleep next to a person I hardly know.
I will eat breakfast, simply because I can get it paid for.
I will walk miles and miles daily in uncomfortable heels.
I will smile and nod while people I think are crazy rant.
I will ask many questions I already know the answers to.
I will take seemingly as many notes as in a whole semester of college.
I will eat every meal in the presence of people I don't know, and be forced to do it with grace.
I will probably be subjected only to FOX News, if any television.
I will get trapped in many conversations with no escape.
My life will be completely about business, and my soul will cry for freedom.

This is my reality. Acknowledge it. Feel it. Be glad it's not yours.
Happy Trails!
