No -
  1. Boss won't let me - It's too expensive
  2. Boss won't let me - "You would want how much time off?"
  3. Not in my personal budget at this time
*sigh* but I want to. I really, really do.

    So what you're saying is that your boss has no interest in developing your value to the company, much less your career.

    Give that a good, long think.

      heh. This has been a problem for over a year (budgets were severely slashed at the end of Q2 last year). Already considered and acted on, though response has been slow, and too many employers expect me to make a lateral or backward move. *bah* At least at my current place of employment there is some stability, and plenty of drama, er, humor (here, here and here).

      Anyone here want to hire me? I would like to stay in the detroit area, but could be convinced to move. I develop in C++, Perl, and VB. I _can_ do HTML, but feel it's below me and my CS degree, I have strong project management and software architectural skills, I speak average Japanese and French...What? No takers...??

      Guess I'll keep looking and toiling at my current grind.

      C-.
