Stranger in the Night

Hi everyone,

It may not quite be night yet, although it has been a long day, but certainly you will think me a stranger!

I can't actually remember when I did a blog last - anyway I'm here now, with the bold Mr Downey having earlier fled to go on holiday for a week. Lucky swine! (apologies to lovers of all things porcine ).

It's all go you know at the hive of industry that is the CIOBS! No, I'm deadly serious.

What with 3,716 Chartered Banker packs being sent out this week. Hopefully these will be sent to Chartered Bankers by our distributors - that would be good.

Also, after months of trials and tribulations, we finally managed to publish our first online e-revision module, Customer Relationship Management to the web. For those members, you can find these via the Members and Students section, then going to Online Support and then Tutorials. For non-members, hard luck, really! Just join us and experience the delights!!

Also, we had the results of our most recent customer survey this week. Pretty good, albeit one member wants videos introducing the CIOBS - that would definitely be one for the horror shelf....aaaarrrggghhh!!

Next week six lucky people will have the pleasure of my company on Monday and Tuesday for the next UK Financial Services, Regulation and Ethics course. Bet they can't wait!! I can.

When I say "I can", I would hate for you to get the wrong idea, I really love course delivery!! But the weekend will soon be upon us and quite frankly, it beats working!! If you don't think so, what a saddo....

Anyway, I'm sorry, I really need to go now. Two students have just emailed in (that's true actually) looking for some urgent questions to be answered by close of play, lest they cannot sleep at night!

The life of a CIOBS employee may be a happy one, but it's quite busy too!!

Hey ho!!!


If I get time I'll be back next week.

BFN (that's bye for now for those under 69).
