As you might be able to tell from past blog postings, I’m in an MBA program that’s done jointly by Dalhousie University and the Institute of Canadian Bankers. I’m almost halfway through the program right now, so I found it odd this morning when I received an email from the ICB telling me that, because I have some credits with them, I could apply for this exciting joint MBA they offer with Dalhousie.

Now, granted, screwups happen like this sometimes. Email marketing’s an inexact science; trust me, I know that from past experience. This, to me, seems like kind of a rookie mistake…like the marketing people just didn’t think to check their mailing list against the list of people who’re actually taking the MBA program they’re trying to pitch. What bothers me is this: the MBA course I’m taking right now is the ICB marketing course.

I find myself questioning their expertise.

I’m excited that my oldest brother might be flying over to spend some time with us here in Toronto this summer. He’ll be back in Nova Scotia this summer, but between the Montreal and New York trips earlier in the year, the Rockies trip in the fall and the aggressive saving for the condo closing date in April it was just too much of a squeeze for us to make that trip as well. But ifhe shows up here in TO, I’m sure we can get into some trouble.
