My business trips aren't that fancy

I am physically exhausted after spending some weeks, practically without a free day, in a fucking warehouse

I'm always just so happy to be home again and have all the stuff I've wanted to do, that I dreamed up during suffering on site.
But I'm too exhausted to actually do anything...

Still, the first night is always the best

Came home last time, after working with a fever/flu again, and just wanted to drop dead.
But the euphoria of being home again keeps me going for the first night.
Which pretty much means, I'll have a few beers and talk with my wife.
Can't do anything reasonable, but I really enjoy those few hours
