ONSITE
(Posted 2009-05-13 17:25:16 by ArchPaladin)

So the company I work for wants to send me to work onsite.

This is the natural progression for a support adviser, so this is not an
unexpected thing.  It's not a terribly common thing either, but it does
crop up from time to time.  Still, I had hoped they were going to pass me
up because of my school commitments.  I was able to get out of one attempt
to send me onsite because of my comprehensive exams.

As you might be able to guess, I don't want to go.

It's not that I mind traveling, because I don't.  Seeing new places is
always enjoyable.  The problem is that each class I miss I have to make up.
 This may involve gathering a student partner, paying a TA, replicating
clinical work, and potentially/likely taking time off from work to do this
(which increases my demands at work).  Then there are the non-work-related
costs, like spending time away from family, or needing to find a substitute
instructor for ILMA.  Overall, it's entirely not something that seems like
its an effective use of my time.

I wouldn't mind it if I have to go when I'm not in classes, but I'm not
sure I will have that kind of control over the decision of when I go.

OK, ending rant.
