Is there an ETA on a release of intended training topics / sketch of agenda? I'd like to make a pitch to management to try to offset the costs, and being able to relate specific topics to job function would be helpful.
I need this if I'm going to try a last min attendance.
Well your management wont care about my sessions on VoIP.
Not specifically, that's true.
They will when I say, "this conference will help solidify my knowledge about what needs to be done for a project that'll save us about $500 - $600 / month."
A 3-month ROI for an annual conference? Should definitely be a win-win.
What? Your attendance at this conference is $1500-1800? I suppose it could be.
Single suite at the hotel, liberal raiding of mini-bar, limo from airport....

For me, that includes ticket, hotel, & airfare.
You could have car pooled.

From Dallas? That would take 2 days.

Unlike most people you have almost ultimate flexibility.
He would lose 4 days of work to travel.

7 days straight with Scott? Hmm. Let me think on that one.

No MangoCon for NerdyDad this year.
Boss wants me to focus on Windows Server 2016 this year. Plus, he's out on vacation that same week, which means I'll need to hold down the fort. The place can about run itself, but still.

But System Administration was on the docket for this time.

He didn't really want to talk about it. As soon as I began talking about it, he said no and insisted on MS Server 2016.

My point was that he agreed.

If MangoCon is covering system administration, and he said that he wants you to focus on system administration... I'm confused why that turned into a "no" perception.

I think its more of "I need you to stay behind and man the fort while I go on vacation to Florida. I don't care if there is a convention with good content at a reasonable price during the same time."

Boss vacation wins again.

That is not easy to read...
Not easy to read is a drastic understatement. I looked at it about 5 times before I even saw that the word GROVE was there.

Sigh Scott has to stop posting things while we are working on them. Jeez not even close to what we were going for that was just a placeholder.
