Banque International du Burkina

I got beaten up at the bank today.

Not literally, but no less painfully. I was told that my application for a deposit had been refused. Then it was un-refused. Then I was passed higher up the chain and it was flatly refused again. And un-refused again. And finally the typist who was told by her superior to type the deposit refused to type it. Only when I threatened to close the account there and then did she finally relent. The whole process took three hours.

The deposit is now in my briefcase. It's the last piece of paper we needed for the Djibo FM application. I'll submit the application in the morning and then travel back up to Djibo in the afternoon. I'm sick of the city.

I'm going to bed. Good night.
