Sorry you are in a pickle. I'm thinking my boss would be mad at me and know why I didn't show, so lying to him would only make it worse. Hmmm...damn...sorry.

I concur, my commie brother.

Though I am troubled with the mental image of pedro doing aquaerobics...

I have to suck it up, I know. That's what I was thinking too. It's not the end of the world, as I said, but's it's also just not ideal.

Go to the meeting saturday. Call in sick monday.

I agree with Len. Just explain to your boss what you told us, and preface it all with "I'm sure you can appreciate how difficult it is to be in a long distance reltionship, so although ordinarily you'd love to attend a team building function, that you and Pedro have so little time together that you'd rather not spend personal time engaging in business actvities". If you don't feel comfortable talking about it, send him an email, becasue that also gives you the benefit of having a trail of communication, so if he gives you a hard time about not attending, you can take up the issue with HR.

Lying or calling off sick would be the worst things to do.

I wouldn't necessarily call in sick, but I have an understanding boss. She would accept it if I told I would come to the meeting, but want Monday (or even Monday and Tuesday) off in return for attending the meeting when I already had substantial plans that would be difficult to change.

Now if my boss were a #######; then ... cough, cough, I don't feel so good....
