I always tell people the hardest part about my job is the travel. The stand-up's the easy part at this point. Now I'm kind of like almost in my Yoda years. Like, I got it. I can work with any crowd. But, yeah, like you said, the flying and the travel is the grind. But, you know, I am staying at decent hotels. I'm not flying Spirit. So it's not that bad.
