well, out of the blue I get told that I get to make a 200 mile trip (thats just 1 way, so 400 total) to another office tomorrow for some training with a possible new piece of equipment the company might start using. Nevermind that this training could be done online with me on a conference call or a webinar.
But I'll be getting paid for mileage for this, so, hey, an extra 100 bucks to spend.
