Looking for a Bonus

Today is the last day of the month. I filled out my time card and found I had worked a lot of extra hours this period. Unfortunately I am a salaried employee. That means I don't get any extra pay if I work extra hours.

Since I did a good job and worked long and hard, I figure I deserve something out of it. So my plan is to ask to be sent to some training. In fact I want to attend this software conference out in San Francisco later this year.

My company is normally very generous with their training budget. However I can never get the time off from work. They always seem to need me. I even had to make a big case just to get a week off during Christmas vacation. We shall see how my training "bonus" works out. I am hoping for the best.

Away From Home


Well, I had to dash off early this morning to go to conference out of town.  It was a nice drive.  I was able to let my hair down and enjoy the countryside.  I have actually never been this far away from home all by myself before and  I am proud that I was able to find the place.  I love my hotel room mostly because my room number is my favorite number.  I have homework so I better get busy!
