I like travelling for work. You get paid to just sit on a bus.

I really liked it when I started this job in 2005 (first day on the job, my boss & I hopped a flight to New Orleans & walked down Bourbon Street).  I didn't have a kid at the time, I got to see parts of the country I had never visited, and sometimes took my wife along & extended the trip into a mini-vacation.  Airline delays & whatnot didn't bother me as much as they do now.

I still like it depending on the destination, but it's tough sometimes to be away from the family for a full week :(
a few more years and you'll be grateful for that week alone :p

A few days is nice.

5 days or so, maybe a week, is ok.

More than that it really starts to suck.

I dunno - my current court circuit is pretty crappy, but I don't mind it too much as it's only 2-3 days.  Mr previous circuit was to a bigger town, with better highways, hotels, and restaurants (in that the road is paved and there is more than one of each), but as it would typically stretch to 5 days which quite sucked...

I just don't like foreigners with their smelly ways and their BAR BAR BAR jibber jabber.

BB, what does the people of Ross River do? Indians?

Yukon doesn't have reserves, but yes, most of the people of Ross River are members of the Kaska First Nation.  There's a new mine up towards the NWT border that is employing a number of town members.

Do Territories have income taxes?

Of course. :huh:

How do the indians avoid paying taxes then?

Yeah, agree 100%

For my part, work trips have been to: Sao Paulo, San Diego, New York, Hong Kong and LA.

They can be good, they can be tedious - depends how close they are together, how long they are and what else is going on in my life at the time.

They once wanted me to go to New Jersey at the start of my christmas vacation.

Last December I had to go to a tiny town north of the Arctic Circle for court.  I didn't mind it because I'd never been there before, that would get immensely tiresome very quickly if I had to go routinely:

-no restaurant at all
-no hotel at all, only a bare-bones B&B (but they don't serve breakfast)
-dry community
-amazingly cold
-virtually no sunlight

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

You're from Jersey, so not so needless.  :lol:

Touche- though this was before Christie took office, I'm still chomping at the bit to get out of this state.  Hello degree, goodbye South Jersey.

HA.  Since my county has gone wet, we now have:

a) a drive through liquor and cigarette store
b) a sports bar in one of the gas stations (with an attached liquor store)
c) a county judge-executive who got busted for DUI last weekend

Good times. :smoke:
