Have you tried telling them that if they don't send you that you're going to show their wives the logs of what web sites they've been visiting at work? ;-)
More seriously -- I recently got my firm to approve airfare to a mainland conference by presenting it as a training opportunity and pointing out that our training budget has been practically non-existant and so $400 in 13 months is hardly an exhorbitant request. They understand (even if reluctantly) how important training is (especially in the IT field) so they could not but agree that it was a reasonable request. Now if you've been going to expensive training events every month perhaps that won't work for you. Aloha, -Ben- Ben M.
