So it's been a week since I started working at Visa and so far, not a lot has happened. But that's sort of what is to be expected when starting any new job. The entire first week was pretty much just introductions (although on Friday we got to look around one of the data centres in Basingstoke which was pretty interesting).
Seeing as we are the first batch of apprentices ever in Visa, it's not a huge surprise that everybody wants to meet us. We have been joined at lunch most days by some quite high players within Visa and have been getting lunch paid for us every day this week. Along with that, they keep giving us free merchandise and free travel. It's like they are trying to bribe us to stay. I don't think we're going anywhere!
But yeah, I got my £200 pre-paid card through on Thursday and seeing as it's Saturday now, I think it's time to spend some of this. I could do with some new shirts. Speaking of shirts, my parents have gone away for a week and I have only just realised I don't know how to use the washing machine. I am going to be terrible at living alone!
Oh, that's another thing, I think I have decided that I will be looking for a place in Reading in the next few weeks. I am starting off for 6 months in "Business Ops". This is basically Customer Care. The banks will call us with a problem, we will be the first line of defence to try and fix it. There are three of us in that section and it should be quite good actually.
Anyway, time to go shop!
