During a Trade Show


You will:
- arrive early, leave late, and generally work too hard
- get back home too tired to take off your shoes before falling asleep
- find 12 hours of sleep to be insufficient
- schmooze with wacky sales people, who will indulge your tequila habit if you let them
- drink, a lot
- permit Latin Americans to fall in love with you by the pure force of your personality
- eat, too fucking much
- learn all kinds of unnecessarily nasty things about your coworkers (who needs to know that you have fleas, or that your cat can't poop???)
- never have time to sit down
- hate your shoes, even the comfy ones
- find new whores
- fall in love with the head of Strategic Sales
- make fun of policy with the head of Girls Marketing
- arrange for more free booze
- gain 10 pounds
- not spend a penny

You will not:
- run your prescribed 3 miles

I was at a trade show recently. I spent the day explaining to people the difference between white, antique white, polar white, snowdrift, designer white, arctic white...assembled, un-assembled, installed, un-installed, delivered, not-fucking-delivered

Ah, but did I mention that I LOVE my job?
