You fly crazy long distances but only stay for brief duration as part of your job? I don’t think I could do too many of these.....Welcome to my job. I don’t have conferences to attend, though.

Weirdest business trip ever coming up this fall. I fly to Valencia, Spain, but my connection is in Frankfurt. Oh, and I return home four days after crossing an Ocean AND a continent.
At least someone else is footing the bill.
Yup. I work as a courier and transport bone marrow or (most of the time) peripheral blood stem cells from one hospital to another. Usually intercontinental and four nights at the destination is already a long layover.You fly crazy long distances but only stay for brief duration as part of your job?

His BBQ grill, last night.Was that in the last week, month, or year?
Nature's toothpicks.Not much there from hummingbirds.
My oven fan is making grinding noises and I had to remove SEVENTEEN screws to reach it.
Lubricating is helped, but it still occasionally makes dying noises.
That reminds me of about six or seven weeks ago when I realised that I should have checked my dishwasher before putting it in place. A magnetic valve had rusted and become stuck. Result: pull the dishwasher out of its place under the worktop, which includes pulling it off its home-made supports. Open, fix, test, close, put back on its supports and... push back in. The latter part involved levering it up with the help of a chisel and a block of wood to free the built-in screw-type supports so that I could turn them. Not fun.My oven fan is making grinding noises and I had to remove SEVENTEEN screws to reach it.

Not sure where to put this, so I'll just stick it here.
Two people from the village I live in have now (the mayor and a council member) have both approached me asking me to be a member of the council. It seems that in the last election no one applied for the position. I'm just unsure if I want to put myself into local politics...
You must be young, dumb, and looking to be tortured. lol
do you have ideas to improve your community?
Is this something you are passionate about?
Are you willing to fight an uphill battle and dodge the potential deluge of ridicule that may come your way(you may or may not deserve it)?
How does your family feel about this?
Beyond those questions, I think you are a considerate enough person to do the job.
