Well, maybe not all of us, but I am sure that the majority of readers have considered a job travelling (full travel, I'm not talking about you wussies who drive to the next city once a month for a meeting). There are, however, many issues with travelling full time, some obvious, some not. Here are some thoughts to keep in mind if you ever travel for work.

In a
telling remnant of iron-fisteded imperial tendencies, armed police
took down a friendly robot who was taking a lovely stroll near the
UK's Parliament building. The Dalek, hand-built and operated by one

Syndrome. Apparently the remote control robots are fun to drive on the
