I get to travel first class, stay at great hotels and eat at the best restaurants. The downside is I am away from home 50% of the time including a lot of weekends, and the dinners are with customers and suppliers, not my wife or friends. When I am home, I am usually recovering from the time zone change from my last trip. Also the company leases me a really nice Mercedes... which spends a lot of time parked at the airport.

Let me guess. You are also a sub 14 minute 5k runner, sub 2:12 marathoner and run 150 miles per week, too?
No, I am 55 years old, and don't have time to train for anything, even if my arthritic knees allowed for it. I did run 1:50 and 3:48 back in the day, however.

I hope you got my sarcasm and shame you can't be home more, but as you said, it's part of the job.
I didn't but thanks for clarifying :-)
I have no perks with my job. I sit in a cubicle, working for someone else who gets paid a ton of money and doesn't really know what he is doing. I get constantly interrupted, manage employees and am usually under-staffed.
Come to think of it, my life is the old Monster.com commercial. I want to work my way up to middle management. I want to be a "yes man". I want to be underpaid and over-worked.
I get an unlimited supply of bright orange garbage bags that I can fill up with my own trash. Then I put them on the side of the road next to an adopt a highway sign, and a highway crew comes and picks them up and takes them who knows where.
I get to bang my neighbor's wife while he's staying at the finest hotels.
I have 22 weeks a year vacation and I teach just two 90 minute classes a day to relatively cooperative university students in Japan.
