Often, when I tell people my profession is “Business Development” the response I get is “Sweet! You must get to travel a lot. How much fun!”

Yeah right.

Don’t get me wrong, the best part of my job is the people and you run out of people if all you ever do is deal with the people in your neighborhood (Thats kinda anti-Mr. Rodgers isnt it?). So travel is a large part of the gig.

Last week, I headed out to DC for meetings and TechCocktail. Since meeting people in a one-on-one situation is preferable, Lijit sponsored a “Hangover Breakfast” the next morning for a small group of people.

At the end of the trip, when I was sitting at Reagan National Airport, I recorded a quick video about the trip:

To recap: I left Denver at 6pm, landed in DC at 10pm, was in my hotel by 11:00pm. Woke up and had a series of meetings starting at 9am (9am, 10:30am, noon, 2pm). TechCocktail started at 6:30pm. I was back in my hotel by 1am. I woke up at 6am, went to our breakfast at 9am until noon, when I jumped in a cab and headed to the airport, where I recorded this video. Back at my house in Boulder by 5pm.

Total time in DC: ~40 hours. 4 meetings and 2 events. Not bad, and certainly not out of the ordinary.
