I travel a lot in my job. Once I was on the other side of the country and was doing a job for a company and at the same time i was going to train the company’s employees. Actually, I should have finished in 2 days, but it had been 3 long days and I was tired of constantly getting new questions and work assignments, even though I earned a lot of money on it. I had one more day going, maybe a half one if evrything was going like planned.
My contact person was so happy with the job that was done, so he had fixed me a ticket to a hip hop concert. This was probably the new cool shit and he would not take no for an answer. I tried to politely say no several times, it’s not my style at all, but he would not listen. So in the end I did not bother to try anymore. I thought I could go out and have a few beers with him and his friends, go to the concert and leave early, go to the hotel and go to bed. Most of all, I really just wanted to go to the hotel, sit at the bar with a glass of red wine or a whiskey, read my book, pretend to be sophisticated and maybe flirt with some sexy woman or a sweet sales guy and bring them back to my room.
