Airplanes and Hotels

So real life has been happening for about 6 months now. Basically to sum up my life, it has been a whirlwind of frequent flier miles and hotel loyalty programs. I now have Platinum status at the Hyatt, and it was just about the most excited thing to happen to me in the last month. Not to even mention my looming Elite status on American Airlines.

I currently work during the week in Arkansas, and spend the weekend in New York. So yes, I spend more of my time in the dirty South than in the greatest city in the world where I pay rent out the ass for an apartment I am rarely in. Its hard to live your life in NY in 3 days a week. Though all this is subject to change next week when I switch projects. Then it could be new work, new team, new boss, new city.

Once a month or so I try to fly to a different city for a weekend. San Fran, Miami, DC, Chicago. It's all free for me. Thanks, company.

But while a lot of my life right now is glamorous, a lot of it just plain sucks. My 11 hour days are filled with 2000 line excel spreadsheet, and my all too short nights are spent alone in my hotel room or using one of the few machines at the hotel gym.

Well, that's not exactly true. I go out to dinner with my team every night, who are awesome, and sometimes we go out on the town. After all, my first strip club experience was with my co-workers in good old Arkansas.

Until next time!
