I work very long hours---there's no choice as I have so much work to do! I travel a lot, and I miss seeing my friends and family when I'm away. One reason why I travel so much is that part of my job is to visit our five branch offices around the world for regular meetings. There are good things, too. For example, when I am at headquarters I can wear jeans if I want to, but like most people I try to look nice even if I'm not wearing my very best clothes! Also, because I travel so much and spend so much time visiting customers, I usually dont go to conferences. I often go to the company's annual conference, but sometimes I have other things to do. My boss likes to know what Im doing, so I write a report every month for her ome people write reports every work 22 She has to travel around the world
