Pointless Business Travel

It sucks when you have to travel for work. It sucks even more when you have to travel for work and there is no actual work to do. Basically I am going to go all the way to Connecticut to meet a few people and sit in the office and surf the web which is exactly what I do at my office right now. Which to me is pretty pointless we are a cutting edge advertising company for God’s sake I can meet the few random people they want me to meet via Skype.

I tried my best to weasel out of it. I insisted it was not mandatory for me to go, that I really did understand how the rest of the team who DID have work to do should go, but seriously that I could probably just stay in LA and hold down the fort. Translated that I would come in late and take super long lunches where I would shop and then leave early because I would be the only one in the office. That did not fly so well.

So I am going. And not only do I have to deal with a crappy plane ride, I have to go to a crappy town and sit in a crappy office and be gone from Mr. Rogue for a week all for nothing. At least I got them to buy my return flight to Palm Springs Friday. That way I won’t be late for Ms. Bulldog’s Bachelorette weekend party extravaganza.
