I love going on company trips as long as I can drive to where I’m going.
I don’t like it when I have to fly because the air conditioning is always so bad in the airport and on the airplane. This was going to be one of those trips. When the boss told me he wanted me to go give a lecture at one of the colleges, I thought it was cool. I love doing that part of my job. When he told me he had the tickets, hotel reservations and my travelling expenses all ready for me, I stopped and looked at him. I wanted to be able to drive my car so I had good air conditioning for the trip. That’s when he told me I had to be there in two days and I had to travel almost 2000 miles. I was a bit upset, but this was my job. I got all of the information and I went home and packed. There was no way I could be prepared for the airport. The air conditioning was turned so low that my fingers were blue. I had a jacket on over my dress and I felt like I was walking in a refrigerator. I couldn’t wait to get onto the plane so I could get some heat, but that wasn’t going to happen either. The plane was also cold when I got onboard. I spent four hours on the plane and I froze the entire way. I loved it when I got into the airport at my destination. The air conditioning was nowhere near as cold as in the other airport.
