It’s so hard doing actual work on company trips. I am on a work trip in Florida and all I want to do is layout on the beach all day. Does anyone that has taken a work trips feel this way?

Oh, I know the feeling! We recently took a company trip to Nashville and there is so much I want to do and see there, but since we were technically "on the clock" the whole trip, I couldn't. Seriously so bummed knowing the Country Music Hall of Fame was less than 5 miles from our hotel.

Ahhh Nashville is definitely on my list of places to visit. I know you were bummed not to explore. I wanted to sneak but my supervisors were with us the whole time.

Haha yes! I had to take a trip to Atlanta for work last year. No beaches to tempt me there, but I have a lot of friends in the area and it was so frustrating having to spend the week working and going to seminars instead of hanging with them. We still got some time together at the end, but it wasn't close to enough. Whereabouts in Florida are you? I'm from Tampa originally and try to get back home whenever I can.

Oh that is very tempting since you have friends in Atlanta. I’m actually from Atlanta as well and it’s hard to do work when every day there is something to do. I was in the Miami area.

Damn you are lucky. I only get to travel once a year for my job . To Michigan… in March. It’s never pleasant. I guess the good news is that I don’t want to lay out on the beach when it’s snowing.

I am bored out of my ever loving mind. No heavy incentive to look for work just yet due to COVID in my area + I’m not really sure what position to even look for since I don’t want to go back into PA. You can only scroll through social media and news so many hours of the day. I’ve cleaned. I’ve FT dated. I’ve read. And read. And read. I’ve done the self makeover/reflection thing. 🤦🏼‍♀️
