I’m off today to do my Willy Loman thing. I have a long road trip in front of me as I travel east, east into the sun. Columbus, Cleveland (hola Cappy), Akron (hey Jean), Scranton, and Hartford will all be waypoints on the omnipresent GPS as early morning turns to afternoon to night with me behind the wheel. I get to spend all day tomorrow with Corporate bigwigs in interminable meetings along with other important suppliers as we are exhorted to lower costs and give them more, more.
A short meeting with my main contact follows Thursday morning then I’m back on the road to repeat the long, long hiway back home.
I have music and audiobooks and podcasts to accompany me. I’ll be fine, but my butt and bad foot will scream for relief hours before the trip is complete in either direction.
So it goes. It’s a couple of days and such trips are why I get the big bucks (ha!). I look at the bright side. My boss is off to China in a few weeks and I get to skip that trip this year. I went twice in 2024, and I’m fine spending a few days in Connecticut as opposed to China.
