That sickly, stomach dropping feeling...

It tends to happen when you realise that you've booked time off for a convention that you're really looking forward to and then realise that you forgot to put a training course in your work diary. OK, so I booked the convention tickets before the training session appeared, but I only booked the time off work last week and I failed to notice that my course(6th February) coincides with the day after the con (running 3rd to 5th February). I always book the day after a con off so that I don't have to make the trip home on the Sunday night after a weekend with very little sleep and then get up early on the Monday morning for work.

And this training centre is the 44 miles in either direction from home training centre. I can either leave the con early on the Sunday to stand some hope of getting to the course on the Monday or I can get up stupidly early on the Monday, check out at around 7am (or possibly before - it's actually further for me to drive from the con than it would be from home) and attempt to get to the training session on time.

Dilemmas.

Or I can talk to my manager to find out whether it's too late to postpone the course until the next time they run it. Not sure that the manager will go for that one. Particularly as it's my own damn fault for not putting the two events together in my head.

But Sel, you'll still get a longer lie-in than you usually do, what time do you and PA get up to queue????

*g* Well, at SG-10 I think our earliest get up was 7.30am. We've given up on the stupidly early arising times :-)

My usual rising time for work is 5.30am. Anything later than that really is a lie in for me...
