Traveling job probz

So I just received an email. I am traveling Monday-Friday for 6 out of the next 7 weeks. I shouldn't be too frustrated with this since my manager found me a non traveling job to start in November but 6WEEKS?! Uggggh

Does anyone else travel and feel like they are trying to suck every last trip out of you that they can??

  • Oyyy, I'm sorry.  That's a pretty long time.  Do you at least get to go somewhere fun?

  • I travel for work and just got home last week from being on the road from May 7th through August 3rd (two weeks home in between that time pieced together). I'm fortunate in that I was able to travel with my fiancé the entire time, but it was tough being super nauseous and obviously pregnant.

    I leave again August 28th until October 4th. So I feel you....just gotta be ultra prepared. I'm doing a lot of maternity clothing shopping now so I have the right clothing. I find that the most frustrating part of heavy travel is bringing the correct outfits. Hoping I'm buying right!! It's like shooting a gun in a barrel haha.

    Good luck.

    I get to go to Multiple places in Iowa that have a population of about 5,000. 
  • Ooohh goodness I cannot even imagine 6 out of 7 weeks on the road! I have had 2 out of 4 weeks on the road this month, and am EXHAUSTED!! I found driving on bumpy dirt roads really leaves me with a sore pelvis. Plus navigating eating out all the time is hard when theres so much you cant eat! I definately would say no to my boss if i were in your shoes. Then again, im so low in energy and such a home body, maybe you deal with it better than me! How are you going to go navigating drs appointments and dressing a growing bump while on the road?
  • Where abouts in iowa? That's where I am! I grew up in towns here even smaller. Haha
  • Im working in Emmetsburg this week and staying in Algona.
    then i will be at 
    dubuque, Hampton, Iowa Falls, then Emmetsburg again (all this within the next 6 weeks)
