I’m out on the east coast for a Supplier Conference with my Big Customer. It seems there are about 100 suppliers here. Today we will get harangued for cost reductions and offered enticement in the form of look at the new products you could be part of if… It’s okay, I’ve been to this particular dance in one form or another countless times in my career.
On the bright side I opted to drive instead of fly, so I got in some windshield time. I listened to a good audiobook and enjoyed being on the road.
Sometimes I think I miss being a road warrior and then I travel for a few days and realize I do not. A handful of nights in a hotel a year are just perfect in my old age.
I was single and working as a road warrior for 19 years. Wasn't until about years 15 that the bloom was off that rose. But every once in a while it comes back. Good luck with the people making the decisions. And drive safely.
