Either my boss hates me or he has an evil sense of humor

I'm out here in the boonies on my own most of the time, but my boss does show up about every 2 weeks.

He was here Tuesday for 4 hours. He teaches me a lot of stuff I don't know yet, so that part is good.

So he is reading his email and says "Oh, I have to nominate someone to go to DC for 3 days for a diversity conference. I think it should be one of you new guys (there are 4 of us). But I'll ask for volunteers."

I say "OK. I was in DC for a week 30 years ago and hated it."

So I get an email this morning that I was randomly selected. :(

Shit.

Ok....let's cut the crap. I'd have a easier time finding a Unicorn riding a dinosaur than this happening....

Life could be worse. My last boss sent me on a business trip to Gary, IN. Said he thought I would be able to handle the diversity better than some of the other guys.

I felt like telling him I would like to return the favor by paying his way on a canoe trip in Georgia because Ned Beatty had called in sick.

Rockford is jealous because he thinks a diversity conference is sure to feature various breeds of sheep.

Myself & 2 co-workers have to go to Iowa in sept for some more Six Sigma training. We are trying like hell to get out of it.

If I could go disguised in your place "I'm so there" love DC. I'm a history buff plus the diversity of restaurants and politics intrigue me. The Metro system is top notch.

Doc, I live between DC and Baltimore...wife works downtown DC. It is what you make of it, lots of stuff to do and see. If you're already feeling diverse enough and can ditch a day (this usually depends on size of class) let me know and maybe we can hook up for a round. If not into golf go see some history, new to DC since your last trip would probably be...renovated American History Museum, Holocaust, Indian Museum, WWII Memorial, maybe Korean and Vietnam memorials and all worth the time to go and see and reflect....well except the Indian, no offense, but really boring from my experience.

I lived in D.C. for twelve years and absolutely loved it. Can I go in your place?

[JEFF4i]

When is it dude?

[SiberianDVM]

Aug 3-7, it's 5 days, not 3!!!!!

FRICK!!!!!!

I was scheduled to be on vacation the previous Thursday and Friday, and I was going to Pinehurst through Saturday. Now I will probably have to fly out on Sunday. I'm gonna ask him if I can get Monday thru Friday vacation instead so I can get back and not be dead tired.

DC is 640 acres surrounded by reality.

Hit the Smithsonian - AWESOME!
