Never saw her break a record, did not see her win state. I cannot speak for these 2 men, maybe this wish they were home more, maybe they're happy they get to get out of the house.

Unless he had really bad luck, he could have attended a lot of that kind of stuff if it was a priority to HIM... vice 30 hour layovers in Maui or whatever.

Even very junior, I rarely miss important family things, other than major holidays, which there's no way to avoid. But a sporting event on some random Tues night? Yeah you can bid or trade around stuff like that if it's a priority to you. Worst case you get at least a couple freebie sick calls per year...
