Fridays are the busiest day of a travel advisor's week. And January is the busiest month in the travel year. So, you can expect that Fridays in January, particularly the last Friday in January, gives you a day that is absolutely cray cray. 

Folks looking to go away, with the help of a snowstorm or freezing rain spat or too, certainly can make the work day interesting for me as a travel advisor. There's never a dull moment. Throw in some news reports about grounded or managed traffic at Laguardia and Jacksonville see and other airports nbc laguardia, and abc flight delays as well as a new security system for office software, and life gets interesting quicklly!  (Thankfully, the US government went back to work. And systems got sorted.) And it's a wonderful thing that I really thrive off of helping people get away - I love my job. I just eat my wheaties on Friday, and hit the double espresso!
