I know I bitch about my job. I have been bitching about my job since I first had a job. If it was fun, they wouldn't call it work, right?

I suspect very few people wake up every morning fired up to go to work. I do know some of those people - and they are either extraordinarily blessed or convinced that they are extraordinarily blessed. Either way, it's a fantastic way to live.

That said, I do have a good job. I'm well paid. I work with brilliant people. My customers are literally changing the world. And, quite often over the last decade or so, I get to visit some spectacular locations on someone else's dime.

And no matter how much I bitch about corporate travel, that's still the best part of my job.

I've learned to keep a camera around for just those moments. Here are all my favorites from my two days in Chicago.
