I traveled to some interesting places "on business".
Friends and relatives were always envious of my destinations.
What they didn't understand was;
Spend 12 hours a day "on site", eating "machine sandwiches" and stale coffee.
Do this seven days a week until the problem is solved,
then get on a plane and go home.......
Whooopeee......
