We're open to new and interesting routings, and make the most of mini MR's of 2 -4 days. We dont have to travel at the expensive summer or xmas time, so the cost is less. This year was a long weekend in DEL, another in ICN, 2 weeks in Australia and New Zealand with a weekend in LHR on the way home., a week in the middle east, and china next month. I cant imagine a reason to call in sick so my work attitude, attendance and productivity is 100%+ when Im there since I have this incredible freedom to balance life and work.
