No insurance salesman but I do give insurance companies a run for their money. They made only a small contribution to the kitchen ;) ;)

I have worked abroad a lot and at first it was great but after a while it feels just the same as here, I did stay in lovely hotels and ate/drank at the companys expense but as soon as the job was done you were straight back on the plane to the next job or home

America is a great place to visit but not for three days in the midwest :)

Portugal is lovely but when it was 44 degrees and I was in the North of the country working in an industrial area it was anything but fun :)

Yup .. did that for 38 years in the RAF Transport Command (as it was when I started) .. lots of exotic sounding places and saw the inside of a hotel room for some of the 14 hours ground time ...

Although "sometimes" there was a problem and a few days off awaiting spares .......   :)

Why do people in well paid jobs complain in this way.

I suspect that you will be staying in a decent hotel, will be fed and watered at no expense to yourself. Net result is zero cost to you. I expect you might even get to come home during the middle weekend.

Frankly I find this quite offensive and would imagine that I'm not the only one on here.

Rant over, but please be sensitive to the many people on here who are struggling at the moment  :-X

If it makes things more PC then "IMHO", blood still boiling though.
I would suggest, Rob, e that he was being sarcastic.

Yes, I thought that as well Steve  :y

Some overreaction me thinks! ;D ;D

Exactly so STEMO  - sorry Rob if it was taken wrong way.

I read it as sarcartic too, so don't worry :)

Went to Zurich in 2007, lovley place. Would like to go again one day.

Ignore the doom and gloom members, just jealous. :)

I have to go to far nicer places. Next week is (only just) South London, then in March a week in Wolverhampton. Beat that!

 :'(

Joking aside, I don't personally like working away for too long, it gets a bit depressing after a while, and the initial enjoyment of getting phished up on the company's expense in a hotel bar does start to wear thin after a while, even if its a semi decent hotel. That said, I've done far worse things for a job. Fortunately, I don't have to do overnighters too often :)
