Life on the road

So, I'm in Washington DC for a conference. Earlier today I was in the business center sending proprietary information to my team back in NYC. As I'm at the public terminal, I'm aware of everything going on around me. After all these medical meetings are filled with my competition. Everyone is eavesdropping, reading over your shoulders, looking for a marketing scoop.

Discretion unnecessary. As I catch a glimpse of the man's terminal next to me, he is trolling 'Craig's list' looking for 'massages'. As he conducted his research, he showed no regard for those standing around waiting for the terminal to open. Post after post, he opened the ads of men offering 'massages' many of them containing nude photos.

By now I'm wondering if this man leads a second life on business trips. Does he was a wife at home? kids? a boyfriend? a girlfriend? Does he use these on the road opportunities to explore a saucier side of his personality.

Needless to say, at a convention of thousands, I encountered this man multiple times on the floor. I only hope when I see him tomorrow he is smiling.
