My wife and I make okay money in a middle class area, but, due to a combination of good luck, and contrived to circumstances, we recently got to watch a college football game in the stadium’s super executive corporate sponsor level suite. It was awesome. Open bar, amazing catered food, and people networking all around me who are clearly in the c-suite of their respective companies. I had a list of crazy things I was going to say if someone asked me what I did, but it never came up.

    I worked at a financial company which had an office in London, I am an IT guy and was asked to go to the London office a few times.

    Two of those times I got to stay at The Langham.

    It is a far more luxurious hotel than I have ever stayed at before.

      Same, but my company had apartments they owned in multiple cities for this purpose that employees could also use for vacations if you had enough seniority (and no one else was scheduled to use it for business). The London apartment was pretty nice but the New York office was a freaking penthouse. Crazy.
