Pros and Cons....

....of Matt's job
I know, I am not Matt, but I have some pros and cons to his job and I am a bit frustrated today and was yesterday so I have full right to write out pros and cons to his job, because honestly I do need to sit down and think about all the pros in order to get over yesterday's disappointment.
So, let's start with cons because I want to finish this on a good note, so let's start with things that annoy me.
Cons:
1. He travels a ton...leaving only weekends to dedicate his attention to me and even then sometimes he checks or does some work
2. I hate his computer, the guy seems to be married to it at some points. I mean, why is it so hard to put that stupid thing down when I want some attention. Work computer is almost never turned off, he does not always spend time on it, but it's almost in the eyesight and it's annoying at times.
3. Meetings...he always seems to be in meetings when I need to talk to him, nothing important about, but just to talk when I am frustrated that there are so many idiots in the world. Usually, it's when I really want to talk to him to make myself feel better he is in stupid meetings and can't answer the stupid phone.
4. Vacation...needs to be planned 6 months ahead of time. Oh, and this is the main reason why I am so frustrated. Matt just got his visa to come to Russia and he was going to come and visit me in 2 weeks and stay for a whole week. I was so excited that I planned a whole trip to St. Petersburg, took into the account all the working hours of all the sights we wanted to visit, all the costs, checked airline tickets availability, even planned to surprise Matt and buy tickets to Russian ballet or opera in St. Petersburg, just to find out that he could not take that week off after all anyway. Now, we are thinking of him coming to visit me for a week in August, but that too can get cancelled the last minute. Mind you, I want to go to Spain and Portugal, but the project has many milestones and deadlines and really the team can't let Matt go for vacation until after November. I mean, what kind of bull-shit is that? I want to go on vacation with my husband for just one freaking week before the end of stupid November.

Pros:
1. His travels...yeah, I know it's in cons too, but because of his travels we are able to go places using his NWA miles or Marriott points, thus avoiding airplane tickets and hotel costs.
2. His travels...I am not crazy, this is a whole different point all together about his travels. It keeps him away from me for most of the time, so when we do see each other it's always a treat. It's nice to know that you don't have time to get tired with each other, it always feels like we are still in dating moods :)
3. International role...his work allowed him to go to UK and Germany for work, and because of my situation it's been a blessing for him to work in Europe, because we definitely see more of each other and it hasn't put much strain on our relationship (even though, I don't mind not seeing Matt every day, the idea of not seeing him for over a month used to upset me, because I was afraid we would drift apart).
4. Good pay, good opportunity. Matt seems to like the job itself and the fact that he gets to work with different clients. Plus, he gets paid pretty well, so I can't complain.
5. Parties...they have great parties, from Christmas dress-up parties to just frequent summer picnics, they have great people to talk to and you don't have to work at the company to feel welcomed at the event by everybody there.
6. Keeps Matt happy...most of the time.

So, I guess the pros outnumber cons, but still sometimes I get really angry at his work and wish that he would have gone into a different line of work. But those moments do pass and most of the time I like the fact that he has his current job. But yesterday I was pretty darn angry at the stupid company. I have my right to be angry at them for awhile, if you ask me.
