It is hard being on the road over 200 nights a year...away from your family, isolated in many ways. It definitely isn't for everyone. This blogs represents the thoughts of just one such person. Read along and find out if the road is for you.

I am exhausted!
It seems like the only time I get to write lately is when I am on a plane flying from one destination to another. I am in the middle of a pretty good sized road trip for us. I left home a week ago Saturday (March 29th) and it is now Sunday (April 6th). And the trip is only about half done!
We just got through with Da Company’s big annual event for our so called power users. I would venture to say that everyone is a little worse for the wear.
This event has left me in a state of confusion. Two companies say they want to hire me. And at the moment, since I got turned down for the position within Da Company, I am inclined to give it (and them) serious consideration. It is kind of amusing in a way. Lori and her boss tell me how well I did and how happy they are with my overall performance. To me, it is simply lip service. I still don’t get involved in the better deals, get crappy travel and not a lot of support to do the things that I want to do.
I have given up putting forth ideas that would bring revenue into Da Company. It is never acted on.
Would it be any different in another company? I really don’t think so. Except for the fact that I would have some semblance of a life. And at the end of the day, Da Company really doesn’t care if I stay or go. That being the case, I have never wanted to stay where I didn’t feel wanted.
On the other hand, I AM tired and cranky. So I don’t want to make any rash decisions at the moment. I will give it a day or two.
One thing I have noticed is that I really miss my time with Julie. There are times that she drives me crazy and her drive is not near what I would want, but there is something about her that is comforting. She really does complete me and after being away from her for awhile, I need to reconnect.
So I am off to Detroit and get home on Friday. I will catch up with friends later this week, so that will be fun.
It also looks like I may have my first “commercial” pool client, which is awesome. When am I going to have time to do everything that I want?
Head is extremely heavy. Time to go. Blog on!
