Where am I again?

So here's how my week has been:

Monday - 6AM - flew out of Daytona Beach for Tulsa, OK
Monday - 10:30AM - arrived in Tulsa and headed to a customer site
Tuesday - worked at that same Tulsa job until 3:30PM.
Tuesday - drove from Tulsa to Wichita, KS
Wednesday - 7AM - drove from Wichita to a tiny town about 1.5 hours north for a training class
Wednesday - 7PM - arrived back at the hotel in Wichita
Thursday - 8AM - drove to a training class in Wichita
Thursday - 1PM - headed out for Tulsa again
Thursday - 4:30PM - arrived in Tulsa
Thursday - 5PM - finished my work and headed back to Wichita
Thursday - 5:15PM - discovered that I was needed in Houston the next day.
Thursday - 8:15PM - arrived back in Wichita

Here's my schedule tomorrow:

Friday - 6AM - fly from Wichita to Houston
Friday - 12PM - arrive in Houston
Friday - 1PM - arrive on the job site
Friday - 3PM - finish the job, head to hotel
Friday, Saturday - spend time with Matt (yay!)
Sunday - 12PM - fly back to Daytona Beach
Sunday - 8PM - finally get home

That's four states in five days. I used to think traveling for work would be neat. It does have its advantages - I'm seeing lots of places, meeting lots of people, have a degree of freedom - but it gets old really fast. I'm learning to hate fast food and eating out altogether. I try to stay at the same hotels for consistency as it makes it feel familiar. Fortunately, I'll be in the office for the next two weeks, but then it's back to Texas for a training in Dallas and then probably another solid week or two of work in Texas and Louisiana. Ugh.
