The Top Ten Signs That Your Company is Sending You Away Too Much

10. You have to go through your purse to throw out old boarding passes
9. You approach the hotel desk to tell them you have to extend your stay and their response is "Oh, are you from ________?" (the name of your company)
8. Half your family's Christmas gifts were purchased on the road
7. You know that when your incoming flight to Laguardia is assigned to Gate 1, Terminal D that the plane must be towed in
6. You debate with your coworker over whether Terminal A has the Chilis or the Fridays (A has Chilis, B has Fridays...in case you were wondering).
5. The last time one of your best friends was over, she took your cellphone, snapped her own picture and set your phone to flash it whenever you call her so you won't forget what she looks like.
4. Your hotel bill is slipped under your door...all three pages of it.
3. Your very North-Eastern father gets on the phone to say hello to you and greets you with "HEY SUG-AH!!" because he's trying to relate to you and your new part-time Southern occupancy.
2. You've heard every excuse from the pilot for late arrivals, including bad weather, air traffic control, high winds, and (my favorite) "the captain isn't here."
1. You've been through an indepth search in security at the airport, twice, and lived to tell about it.
