Re: QOTD 3/6

  • I've been to training or a conference for a week every other year or so.  Nothing crazy.  H drives a tractor trailer now, so he travels daily (hehe), but he is home every night.  There is a chance if he gets stuck in traffic and runs out of time they will have to put him up in a hotel.  Hasn't happened yet.

  • Nope and nope. I mean, H does work with an electrician. So technically he travels to job sites every day. But I don't think that counts.

  • Neither of us does at this point. H's company keeps saying they're going to send him out to Denver to do some stuff at their corporate headquarters, but that hasn't happened yet.

  • No. I suppose either are possible, but DH just got a promotion and it's not too unlikely that he'll be going to Toronto in the fall for work. I hope I can join him!

  • Every once in a while I'll have to travel for a day or two, but it's usually to Dallas which is only about 3.5hrs away from Austin, so it's not too bad.

    H used to travel a lot with his old job and I hated it!  He was pretty much gone 5-0-75% of the time the last few months of planning the wedding, so that was the hardest part.  He actually works with me now, so if either of us goes anywhere, we can go together :)

  • DH and I usually travel about once a year for work. He goes to a Physician Assistant conference one week a year and I go to a neuroscience conference once a year.

    I'm actually traveling in 2 weeks for a neuroscience advocacy trip to Capitol Hill. I'm really excited about it!

  • Nope. Once H gets a civil engineering job, there will be a chance of it, but as of right now, neither of us do!

  • I travel occasionally to our other facilities.  I was just in our Nashville facility for a week and I went to Dallas last June.  I actually enjoy it when I get to go.

    H doesn't travel at all.

  • The only normal travel I do is to local meetings. DH goes to them with me when its his turn to go. I have to travel for 2 classes this year. Both are about 2 hours away. They will be my 1st and 2nd overnight trip for work and the first time sleeping away from DH in 3 years. :(

  • No and No.

    I work in a highschool so they dont send us anywhere, if there is a conference we need to attend its usually in the same county.

    DH commutes around 2 hours everyday to work but they dont send him anywhere. Im not sure what will happen when he actually gets an engineering job in the future but for now the answer is no.

  • I do travel for work, but Husband does not. He works for the DMV here so he's got it fairly easy. I travel every other week in the summer to Traverse City, MI which is about two hours one way from here.

  • Currently, neither of us travel for work.  I used to work as an auditor at one of the Big 4 a couple of years ago, and for some of the clients I had to travel and also for our yearly trainings.  But at this job, there is no traveling at all.  It's really boring....haha.

  • I haven't traveled for work in a couple of years but my current position doesn't require me to travel. My previous job required me to go to our sister sites to train new team members.

    H is an over the road truck driver so he travels 5-6 days a week. He wants to get a more local job, still driving but he has been having a difficult time trying to find something since he doesnt have his hazmats, tankers, or twic card. If he did, I have a friend who could help him find a job where they work but he isnt ready to take that next step.

  • Neither of us do.  I envy people like my sister that get sent away for training programs.  She gets to stay at high end hotels and have all food/beverages comped.  I'm super jealous about it.
  • I am not working right now so no.

    Dh is a mechanic for the bus company, so he only travels to and from lol...

    mind you in 2010 he had to go to an international union meeting in Disney World, that worked out nicely, he took DS and I with him... what a blast... he might have to to go San Diego next Jan. 

  • Neither of us travel for work.  I wish one of us did.  Then we would get some paid travel. 
  • We shouldn't, I have sporadically. For my primary employer, I have traveled all of twice in 13 years. Six years ago I spent 4 days in Georgia. Two years ago I spent 2 and 1/2 weeks in the Philippines. It was the opportunity of a lifetime for me, and I enjoyed it! They even paid for my passport (although, now, to update to my married name I have to pay for the same cost out of pocket! Wow!).

    I worked secondary jobs for about seven years. For one of those, I co-facilitated a class. We traveled for training every summer to a different part of the state. That was nice, and the last few years I was there I was able to bring my boys - they enjoyed the lodge and its pool while I 'enjoyed' training :)
