>>Patrice,
>> There is "resistance" to any training that I feel is
>>necessary to further my knowledge and/or enhance my
>>understanding of the Oracle processes. Even though I have
>>money in the budget for such items I have to submit a business
>>case defining the gains to the company and after completing
>>the course with a passing grade the company will reimburse me
>>the expenses for the course only. I also have to sign a waver
>>that I will pay the company back the full cost of the course
>>if I leave their employment before 365 days. Needless to say I
>>pay for everything myself and hope to write it off on taxes if
