I'm putting together my agenda for the Vegas conference in May right now.

A week ago, my boss was pretty-well decided that I wouldn't be going. On Monday she gave me the green light after talking to her boss. I'm not entirely sure what happened, but I'd like to think that my follow-up e-mail to her questioning the need to go was persuasive.

And don't read anything bad into this, my boss is extremely even-handed. Budgets are tight right now, so a real business need needs to be presented to her management for approval, and asking for ridiculous with poor reasoning things makes her look bad.
