1986 - 1988 Business Trips

Some of the places I went in 1986-1988.

I worked at a three letter company from 1986 to 1988, one of the worst experiences of my life. (If probably would have been better if acid blockers were non-prescription back then, but there you are.)

Anyway, I travelled a lot in that job. And it was in that job where I discovered the joys (and not) of driving, rather than flying. I could sometimes get back to Chicago from Southern Ohio before others, since I didn't have to wait for a particular flight. And I got door to door service. :-)

During this time is the first time I'd drive through the Ozark Mountains, those legendary mountains of moonshiners and Lil' Abner fame. Dogpatch was once here, and I've always kicked myself for not stopping in before it closed. I always wanted a Daisy Mae t-shirt...

Dayton, Ohio is world headquarters for said 3 letter marketing company, and I must have made the commute between Dayton and Chicago a dozen or more times. Once, was during a snowstorm...

On the other hand, for a reward on a project, I was sent down to Fort Lauderdale for a week for "training" in January. Wow, that was a tough one, wasn't it?

I was in Washington DC (actually Gaithersburg, Maryland) for a project for a couple of weeks. This was the end of the road with this company. This job was the last straw before I quit and went elsewhere...
