Training today through Friday

I had signed up for the ISEB Practitioner's course in software test management after my success at the Intermediate Certificate. This was in June. Heard nothing from them--normally they collect the money straightaway and send you joining instructions. So, I assumed that they had cancelled or were about to cancel the course--sometimes this happens when they don't get enough delegates to fill a course (they normally want at least 5).

So imagine my surprise last Thursday when they called me and said the course was on. I was a bit miffed, and as my BlackBerry is still in the shop (due to arrive at the retail outlet any day now) I didn't have access to my calendar. So I put them off until Friday and took a look at my saved calendar--nothing this week. I arranged with work to take Wednesday through Friday off, paid my £1300 (including VAT), and will be leaving shortly for the training site. The exam is in December, and there is a coaching day included just before that.

I hope that I'll still have a job then. We won't starve or lose our home, but things might get a lot tighter than they have otherwise been.
