Forget about that, listen to me
I've been coerced into being seconded to a client organisation in one of their offices 70 miles from where I live. I've spent about a week saying no and gradually the pressure has built until I've had to capitulate.

70 miles in which direction?
South might be problematic.

east
to a place called Blandford. It's as exciting as it sounds.

How long will the secondment be?

( Labia Majora You keep on talking but it makes no sense at all, Tue 28 Sep 2010, 10:50, Reply)

3 months I think
it's not full time, 3 or 4 days a week I think. Means staying away from home though, which blows.

Been there with work a few times
I seem to remember it had a nice pub and Indian restaurant

good to know

I think there was a decent hotel there too
Though things may have changed a lot since I've been there

hopefully it hasn't become more shit
I have no idea of the finer details yet such as where I might end up staying, or how I might get there etc.

Can you use this to get them to pay for fixing your car?

(Zoz prayed for twink on, Tue 28 Sep 2010, 10:53, Reply)

that would be nice. expenses have already gone someway towards that anyway
My mrs needs the car, so I'm hoping that I will be able to get a lease or something, otherwise it will be a load of shitty train travel, and pretty much being stuck once I am there.

You could try and get them to hire you a car
Would probably work out cheaper than trains/hotels

I will get them to hire a car
but I'm fucked if I'm driving 150 miles a day and getting up early and leaving late to maintain office hours. They can put me up in a hotel or B&B or something

It was instead of being away from home
Whatever works!
( sporters I’m sincerely gratitude to you, Tue 28 Sep 2010, 11:13, Reply)

I struggle to get here for 9am
and I live about 15 minutes away by bus or bike. Trying to get somewhere 70 odd miles away would be almost impossible.

But this could be an opportunity to network with leading players and touch base with your core interests

But how does that meet the central business values?

Don't start missing your KPI's or we'll have to undertake a 360

the only advantage of it
is that I've worked with the guys there a lot, and we get on very well.
