You're welcome. You state exactly the reason I chose to bill rather than not. When I was working for attorneys I often attended training sessions, etc and they were all considered to be part of doing my job for which I was paid.
While I understand the concept that part of the draw of virtual assistance is that we don't have to be trained, I always took that to refer to those skills that we brought to the table initially, after all no one can be expected to know everything.
And I agree, the diversity of ideas, opinions and outlook really does make this forum a valuable resource for all of us.

As I think about it, if you were working for Corporation A and they wanted you to learn a new program they would pay your time to do so and at some point you may leave the company and be able to use that else where. So really why shouldn't it be the same if it's something new that the client has requested.
Thanks for providing a new viewpoint, I appreciate it and that's why I love the forum because of everyone's different outlook.
