Project management (of something global) and senior HR always seem to be on the move too.

Anywhere were you might have a remit outside your place of work. e.g. Often working in Pac Rim you get to travel as often the infrastructure is so fragmented. If you have teams that work in other areas you get to travel to them. But IMHO business travel is not all that it is cracked up to be...

QuoteOriginally posted by: rmaxBut IMHO business travel is not all that it is cracked up to be...I totally concur. I spent around six months commuting and even though the quality of the hotels was great, the flight service superb etc. eventually you just want to come home to somewhere that's not a hotel. I think I put on a lot of weight eating out all the time too. It can't be good for the mind always being in different places.

Can you put down escorts as a business expense?

Wow! My current job also has 100% insurance benefits. Perhaps I should get a psychiatrist to prescribe me one escort per day to ensure sanity.
