a lot of travel

Posted on 6 March 20186 March 2018 By antipaucity No Comments on a lot of travel

Over the past month, and through the end of March, I’ve done, and will be doing, a lot of travel for work. Nothing I haven’t done before, but it’s been a long time since I’ve had to be onsite for more than a couple weeks at a time – most customer leap at the chance…

they asked the right question

Posted on 11 January 20185 August 2021 By antipaucity No Comments on they asked the right question

Let me compare the experience I wrote about yesterday to another I had the same year with the first customer I was ever sent to – HSBC. Just a couple weeks after starting with ProServe in 2008, I was sent to Chicago to do a final PoC for HSBC. Someone else had done a PoC…

traveling consultant cheat sheet

Posted on 6 May 20157 October 2022 By antipaucity 6 Comments on traveling consultant cheat sheet

“Join the Navy and See the World!”* Perhaps one of the most famous recruitment phrases ever established in the United States. And it’s not at all dissimilar form what a lot of budding consultants think they are going to do when either joining a services organization, or starting their own business. I have been fortunate…

charge for carry-on luggage

Posted on 20 November 201418 November 2014 By antipaucity 2 Comments on charge for carry-on luggage

Airlines over the past several years have begun charging for all kinds of things that used to be “free” (they weren’t ever “free”, they just hid the cost in your ticket price). One of the worst offenders to this list of fees, though, is the inane charge for your first checked bag whereas carry-on baggage…

free wifi

Posted on 29 March 2013 By antipaucity No Comments on free wifi

I travel a fair amount for work – not excessive “road warrior” style anymore (thank God!), but often enough. One thing that has consistently dumb founded me is that, like cheap hotels, the smaller the airport, the more likely it is that it has free wifi. I understand places like ATL or ORD are incredibly…

thanks, {redacted}

Posted on 7 March 20135 March 2013 By antipaucity No Comments on thanks, {redacted}

A friend and coworker owns a cabin in the Smoky Mountains, and invited my wife and I to spend part-to-all of a week with him and his wife there at the beginning of March – doing a “WFC1” week instead of being ‘merely’ WFH2 (like we normally are).. He arrived Saturday morning with his wife,…

baggage

Posted on 3 April 2012 By antipaucity No Comments on baggage

I see Allegiant Air is starting to come around. For several years, many airlines have had checked bag fees – but carry-ons are free. But it’s having carry-on bags that slows everyone down while inept and hapless travelers try to wedge their carry-on and “small personal item” into overhead bins, under the seat in front…
