Pfft. He must work for the Peace Corps or American Red cross.

There's no way I'd do what I do without keeping the points & miles. The perks that come along with points and miles make the travel that much more bearable.

I don't see how on earth anybody does anything approaching a 115 HR work week. No way. I'd like to read an explanation of how that is accomplished. Aren't there labor laws that prohibit you from working more than say 91 hrs a week? - That's 7 thirteen hour days! When do you sleep?

I was even in the military and the only way we approached anything near 115 hrs a week was during FTX's.

Your productivity at anything approaching 115 hrs a week must be near zero due to fatigue.
