My schedule yesterday:
3:00 am --> wake up time
5:00 am --> train left Union Statin
5:15 am --> get a sit and spill coffee all over me as I get the tray table up
5:20 am --> get more coffee after cleaning myself up and getting rid of the coffee infused Atlantic I was going to read on my way to New Jersey
7:30 am --> arrive in Newark
9:00 am --> first meeting at customer site
12:30 pm --> first break from meeting to get lunch
1:30 pm --> second meeting at customer site
5:00 pm --> call a cab to get to airport
6:05 pm --> get to the Newark Airport's train station to realize the only feasable train was the 6:45 pm regular train to DC
6:45 pm --> no train
6:55 pm --> train get in
7:00 pm --> train leaves station
9:50 pm --> arrive in DC
9:58 pm --> get cab and go home
So doing all these while sick, was quite the challenge, having two succesful meetings and being able to talk to the customer ... priceless.

Yeah, that's rough.
you are working yourself to the bone. and for whom? i did the same thing for decades. i don't know the right answer, because you have to work hard to build a reputation, but, on the other hand, you are totally exhausted. i hope that you get a chance to take care of yourself.
don't you hate traveling for work when you're sick? god knows i do. or when you get sick while on a trip? five years ago i had to go to new orleans the week before mardi gras for a trade show and i quickly got sick with sinus crap. imagine people raising hell outside of my window until 4am each night. nuh-uh, not cool!
