[snoogit]

DTW is a million miles from actual Detroit.

I think Dan just became responsible for an office in Rochester and will have to travel there occasionally despite the fact that Waterloo, Canada (the headquarters) is sooo much closer.

ya, but there's probably weird laws about sending Canadians for work into the US

That is always the biggest pain. We got to the point when we had to send folks north they just say they are on vacation vs. there for work.

Yeah, probably because the US is dumb. Canadians are awesome.

I think it's a Canadian law not US.

They are like equidistant from MD cept one is across a whole lake.

Waterloo, NY is birthplace of Memorial Day. In a completely unrelated fact.

It's worse when you work for the government. They won't even let me take training courses in the US because I'd need a speshul passport.

It's the same way going to canadastan.

 

[tre]

dunno. But technically, a training course is fro work, and since I work for the feds, I would need a special, non-diplomatic passport that I would trade in my regular passport for. then trade back when i return. it's really just a pain in the ass, so they just say "no US travel".

 

[tre]

Visa, and it's the same way going to canadastan.

not just a visa. a special passport.

I know when we go to Canada we had to have copies of contracts, statements of work, a written explanation why someone from Canada couldn't do it etc. Actually come to think of it most countries I go to for work are that way. The Caribbean countries are by far the worst to get into for work.

But OMG the garbage plates are so you don't know what you're missing.


Said by 50% of the people who work here since they went to RIT.

I edited , was thinking of going to Canada.

You should see the paperwork for ITAR regulated training. Most places just exclude all foreign nationals instead of dealing with it.
