Conference

So the boss wants to send me to a conference (yay) to actually speak (yikes) - in May. I'm excited, and I want to go - but that's right when my family was coming. They're willing to move around me but I feel bad about it, and yet I can't not go. But honestly that's not what's bothering me. He's sending someone else with me - the student who never works. Yeah we came in together, but I've been busting my ass for the past 3 years and she's been watching TV on her computer. True, she's stepped it up in the last month or so, but come on! I don't know why this bothers me so much, but it really does. I think probably because it makes me feel like he still doesn't see us differently, despite the fact that I work hard and do all his bitch-work and she does nothing. GRRRR.
