This actually happened to me when I had a box of these little laminated advertising cards we hand out at marketing events in my backpack.

A dense, heavy box of cards stuffed in your luggage probably looks suspiciously like a brick of C4 or something on an xray.

Every time they don't let me rent a car I end up having to pay an actual taxi $50 cash for a 30 minute ride to the airport. Getting that reimbursed is fun.

I felt guilty the last time I rented a car because the office is within walking distance of the hotel and one of my coworkers who is super-cool was in town so I walked to work with him the entire week even though I had a car. I think we used it a total of 3 times and it came in handy but it still felt like an extravagance.

I'm going to read between the lines here and ask did you manage to bone the coworker?

The movie Up In The Air is pretty spot on for its time.

Indeed this. It’s still pretty good. I’m in a new role and my Vp asked me to spend some time and coach up a new seller in Georgia. Turns out she’s a late 20s smoke show, just what the doctor ordered.

Regarding the topic, most of the time it’s arrive at a city, find your hotel, debate going out to see whatever sites city has to offer, then settle for a couple tall boys and Indian delivery while watching tv in the room

It's the small things you notice in the movie. One wide shot of a hotel has one broken sprinkler. He gives a speech in room called "The Vista Room" and it's totally decked out in 1995 decor which is exactly when the property was built. Airport staff are like idle Westworld robots but as soon as you flash a status card they light right up with big warm smiles and spring into action.

Anytime I decide to go out with 3 or 4 other people, we end up wondering the side of town opposite the good stuff to find one place a guy heard on a FoodNetwork rerun. The weather sucks, it's 8pm, and we can't find the place so we end up at some lovely AYCE sushi, or some boring pub/sports bar where the women barely have clothes on and you pay $30 for a pound of wings.

I don't mind eating alone so I think the next time I'll just fake the flu and pay my own uber to eat a 5 star meal.
