Searching for lots of things...but just a name right now

I'm a road warrior....is that good or bad?

sorry for the lack of posts, I've been swamped at work, and haven't had time to write fun things on here.  I promise to do better this week.

so this morning, I just got a note from my friends at American Airlines.  even though I've switched over to Southwest for the majority of my travel, I still managed to earn Platinum (middle-tier) status on AA for next year :)

that brings my status total to:

Marriott - Platinum - already have 50 nights there
Starwood - Platinum - currently at 40 nights, will hit the required 50 nights shortly

American Airlines - flown 50k miles this year.  Unlikely that I'll hit 100k miles for Platinum Exec
Northwest Airlines - currently silver (low tier), unlikley that I'll maintain that
Southwest Airlines - I'm about 10 flights away from A+ status.  I should hit that.

So, now that I have the numbers out of the way....here's my question....

is being a road-warrior a good thing or bad?  I've been away from home for over 100 nights (if you include training, which I don't get points for)........and I'm sick of eating take-out and room service......

if you are in consulting, how do you escape this vicious cycle???
