Oops...
About a month ago my boss sent me a flyer from the software company that produced one of our imaging programs offering a two day class, Mar 12-13th. Since everyone in the lab, myself included, has been fighting with it since the day my boss plunked down $2000 to have it installed, I thought it was a great idea and quickly agreed. I should have been paying closer attention to the flyer. For the last month I've thought the class was local, but it's actually in Downingtown, PA, just outside Philadelphia. I found out Monday.

Now I'm scrambling with travel arrangements and coming to the sad realization that I'm going to be spending my birthday alone in my hotel room. I WAS supposed to be accompanied by one of the post-docs whose family lives nearby, but he weinied out because he's got some sort of deadline. I'm now trying to think of ways to bail myself. I think the knowledge would be good to have though and would certainly cement my position as a valuable employee. My boss is happy to pay for me to take the train up and back, hotel, cabs, etc.

Dilemma, dilemma.

I wonder how close Dawn lives to Downingtown. I missed her at convention.
