    In all , seriousness I would ask for company paid training.

    Of course like Glen says..at exotic locations would be a plus!!

    it's nice when management takes the time to give a crap isn't it

    PS Don't put that in your review

    At least someone at your company is qualified to give you an IT review. My last annual review was due almost a year ago, my annual review is due in a month or so, any bets I don't get one and I get a mediocre pay increase? You know, the kind they give to burger flippers @ Mcdonald's (3%)? And you know they would never pile on MORE to my job description and not pay any more for it. I have to fill out my review with similar questions, but no one reads it nor do they care. Exotic lands and training, I would trade for that in a heart beat.

    Sometimes "going through the motions" is better than nothing though.

    I'd say training in exotic locations would be great, but
    training by exotic dancers would be even better!

    I've just had a thought, as I sit here with a hangover.
    The number 1 thing my boss could get me is a very attractive and WILLING secretary.
    Before all you politically correct numpties start on me I don't care I know I'm a male chauvinist pig.
