Drive Moment - Have You Ever Had A Work Trip That Went On Far Longer Than It Was Supposed To?

2 American astronauts had set out for their space mission in June 2024, thinking it would be a week-long trip. Due to issues with their craft, they ended up staying in space for 9 months, and only now, are finally en-route to come home to earth, in March 2025. While this seems far-fetched, many of us may have had a work trip that didn’t exactly go according to plan. Have you ever experienced a work or business trip that went on for longer than it was supposed to? Did it feel like you were stuck with your colleagues? Or stuck alone? What was it like? The Drive 959 team had quite a bit to share!
