Okay -- I'm sure there are some business trip type regulars here...
I'm stuck in the middle of nowhere GA (which isn't much differnt from the middle of nowhere GA I live, just none of my friends out here) until Thursday for a training class. What do yall do to pass the time when your not doing work?
La Quinta, spanish for bored as make the beast with two backs.. .. ..
When I was out there I rented a MTB.
I also went to Taco Mac.
Many times. ;D
At least you have the DMF! ;D

sounds like he's just west of FNG.
When stuck in those places I grab a 12 pack and fire up the computer......
I don't travel for work but my wife does. So when she's gone I just pass the time with hookers and blow my bible and volunteering at the soup kitchen.

Here's what I do with my (very limited) spare time on business trips:
- bicycle rides (used to rent, now I have a folding bike I bring with me)
- go for jogs
- go for long walks
- other outdoor activities (once rented a motorbike, once a canoe, etc.)
- meet up with local friends
- see if there are any board members nearby to meet up with
- catch up on my reading - go to a cafe or restaurant and hang out with a book

Your'e on a trip in the same State you live in, and you can't figure out what to do?
usually take a camera and do a little exploring in the area.
or
get drunk and hang out in the pool.
luckily, it seems like 75% of my travel is with other people from work, so I usually have someone else to be bored with me.

Yeah, that was in Stockholm, I decided to paddle around the islands.
Although I should have gone for a kayak (they were much more expensive).
Canoeing by yourself might be good in calm waters, but everytime a power boat went by, it twirled me around. Made it very difficult to make any progress.

Thats much better than hanging out in a bar [thumbsup]
I used to ride around on the JR line when I went to Tokyo...
I guess that wont help much for GA.
I can only imagine what the hookers look like in the middle of no where Georgia

So, my laptop broke last night.
4 hours of fixing it gave me something to do tonight.
That and the trashcan full of beer -- well, it was full.
I'm in Conyers, GA right now -- about 30 miles East of Atlanta.
It is a 'not so nice' part of town. Otherwise I would of brought my bicycle.
That pisses me off on two levels. One, I have to stay here. Two, I'm make the beast with two backsing up my exercise regiment of 25+ miles a day.
There is a gym in the here -- I'm going to check it out tomorrow...
Or bury my head into my training book -- because holy make the beast with two backs...
I've basically got schooled in the 1,000's of ways I can kill myself in a substation today.
I thought I knew most of them -- but apparently there is a lot more shit...
