It really amazes me that people would allow themselves to be displaced for a job.

What A Horrible Night To Have A Curse
I'd love to have a job that forced me to travel. Well I do, if you count San Diego and "the OC" as travelling.

I was asked to go to the Phillipines in December by my employer...
I'm glad it was just 'asking' and not 'telling' because I wasn't going to go, regardless.
Welcome to the world of management consultancy: sometimes you luck out and get assigned to a local project, and sometimes you have to travel. 12 weeks is nothing - most of my engagements last anywhere between 8 - 12 months: huge system implementations. Oh and when you're not on an assignment, you get to 'work from home' like I've been doing since mid-December. You get paid the same either way.
I admit it's tough now that I'm married etc, but when I was younger with no attachments, it was the best job you could ask for. Lots of travel, everything expensed, tonnes of frequent flyer miles and marriott points, and never getting bogged down in the same shitty 9-5 routine.
This is the first time I've travelled away from home in 2 years. I'd consider looking for something new but the job market is still a disaster and the pay in 'industry' is significantly less than 'consulting'. Sooner or later I'll try something new - been doing this for 9 years now!

Right, because it's normal to tell companies like KPMG or their spinoff BearingPoint to go fuck themselves.

Most people either have a negative perception of Cincinnati or no perception at all... since it's not on anybody's radar. The only thing people ever hear about are "black riots" and woeful Bengals football. It's actually a very beautiful city. It's a very hilly city with lots of trees; diverse neighborhoods and a unique flavor. Check out Mt. Adams. There's a lot of delightful architecture around the city spanning many classic periods. The Ohio River is a major "working" river with lots of traffic. Cincinnati has some of the best chili in the world. Check out Camp Washington Chili. Bogart's seems to be the main metal venue there. Cincinnati has a metro population of 2 million spanning southwest Ohio, northern Kentucky and a tiny bit of southeast Indiana. Cincinnati is home to several major corporates, such as Proctor & Gamble and Kroger.
