Portland or not?

Non-Beer Discussion by FLASHPRO

My company drives me nuts sometimes. I get a last minute request to take an assignment in Portland last week. I told them I couldn't go, but yesterday they ask again and I find out my current manager said it is ok to leave. Today I say yes and book my flight for this Sunday, which isn't cheap. A few hours later I find out from another manager on my current job that the client won't let me leave. WTF! So as of today I have plane tickets to Oregon and North Carolina and not a clue where i will end up [xx(]

That sucks...sounds like somebody owes you the $$$ for a plane ticket, at the least.

You're moving to Portland and you have to pay for your plane tickets out of pocket? You should get reimbursed, no?

It depends on the project, but yeah, I will get reimbursed for the Portland ticket. It's just the fact that their stupid miscommunication may have cost them $753 if I don't go. On the other hand, I get a travel allowance for North Carolina, so I choose when and want to go home and how much I want to spend. I'm not expecting to get my money back on that one if I don't use it. Too bad that if I end up in Portland I will have to work on Saturdays!

Just outside of Raleigh. I have been working there for the last 10 months and will be finished in a few weeks.

Looks like I may be spending a week in Greeensboro toward the end of May for work. Foothills here I come!
