Hi Ed,
Good suggestion about the email - except the last time I did that
the boss got really pushed out of shape about it! Basically had a
line at his door of others wanting to go to SHARE too.
So, instead I just send the boss a trip report. I am careful to
detail how info from the sessions will be put to use in upcoming work.
I would love to go to GUIDE, but that one is too much for my
budget, all budget items considered.

Thats the line I got from others I CC'd on the email, they wanted to
go as well.
We had budgeted only 1 person a year, We were lucky to get that. I
also remember that other(s) didn't write a trip report.
We had one guy in charge of all the CA products (who made at that
time 20 years ago 100K a year). He would tell us from time to time
what happened at the CA conferences and it sounded to a dollar that
the the non SMPE install-ability of CA products was really a hot button.
I think when it came out that he was making so much it was head lines
and his ability to go to CA conferences was small potato's

All good suggestions. I have also found that after attending that
the employee should write and CC - everyone on the team - a review
of the days attended (and sessions). highlighting any thing that
might be of use that you learned.
Yes its a PITA but it shows that the sessions are well worth the $
$ to attend. In the far distant past I myself paid the expenses to
go to SHARE. Of course I had 4 weeks of vacation at the time and
didn't miss the time off (I got paid for it). In the more recent
past I paid for attendance when it was in Chicago. No travel and
the employer paid for the days in attendance. Of course the bad
experience I had at SCIDS sort of put me off at SHARE, but I made
up for it with some friends that I met up with at SHARE. Also in
the last say 35 years +- I got a lot with hanging out with IBM and
not asking questions (other than what drink did you order). I was
lucky as my former SE was at the WSC and he used to let me in on
the gossip there nothing dirty just fun stuff, like the drunk
naked boat water ski that occurred one summer. Also the IBM rep to
our group was retiring and he would let us have insight (which he
probably shouldn't have done as to as to why requirements were
rejected) We just reworded them and resubmitted them. IBM did not
like our group at all as we pounded them with requirements.
Of the two groups I still prefer GUIDE.
BTW SHARE was the only group that perfected the brush off, GUIDE,
all were welcome. SHARE's web site it works a few times a year and
I just quit using it. SHARE should fire who is ever maintaining
the site.

Hi Scott,
Does your company have a tuition reimbursement plan? If so, you
might be able to use that. I have.
It was rare that my employer would cover costs for SHARE for me
either.
It can also be possible, depending on your circumstances, to use
unreimbursed employee business expense deductions on your taxes.
Just be sure that you check out all of the rules.
If your company can't be persuaded to join, there are other
membership options. Check out SHARE's website for all of the
options.
Documenting the business case for other means of obtaining the
timely topical training that SHARE provides, can also be very
helpful in getting the support you need. Even if the best an
employer will do is to pay your time while you are at SHARE, that
is a start.
Also, if your company has ever been burned by anyone who claimed
that they were going to SHARE, but didn't actually go to SHARE,
you will need proof that you actually attended. Be sure to keep
your SHARE ID. Selfies at registration, on the vendor floor, at
sessions, etc. can serve as a video diary of proof of attendance.
Best of luck to you!

The association of bugs with computers may go back to the Mark
I (I
think it was) relay computer at Harvard. An error was traced
to a moth
between two relay contacts.
In the Computer History Museum in Mountain View CA there's a
copy of the
logbook page with the moth pasted in place. The display is
near other
early computers like the Atanasoff=Berry machine, the Johnniac,
a German
Enigma and examples of Konrad Zuse's work. If you're in
Silicon Valley, I
urge you to visit; more info at computerhistory.org .
