I only travelled about 300ks today, but it’s been really a hectic day. I wondered how it would feel like if I have to travel to Bega for something within a day. Now I am not sure I would cope well or be interested in the job of PR or Promotional Officer. I don’t mind travel once two week or something, but travel two places one day would be a little bit too much. Anyway this Friday, I have to go to Gunning and Goulburn.
