This really sucks and I'm not sure what to do.
There's a CASE conference in St. Louis September 12 and 13 and Beth wants me to go with her. (CASE are the people who work with the IRS and Advancement offices in colleges to make sure that donations are handled correctly.) Anyway, this conference will deal directly with Stewardship, especially with higher level donors. In other words, it would move me into Senior Stewardship faster and I could get a bigger raise come June. I'd really love to go, seeing as I'll be in this job at least another 2-3 years until I get my bachelor's, but I don't know.
The problem is that for one, we'd be leaving the day after the wedding. The other problem is that Chris' birthday is the 13th. I called and asked if he would mind if I go, but he sounded really upset about it. The thing is, I don't know if we'd be coming back on the 13th or the 14th. I'd hope it would be the 13th, because I have 2 classes on the 14th.
I guess I really need to talk to Beth about how it all would work and stuff and find out what times the conference actually runs. I'm just torn right now between my "career" and my personal life and it sucks.
