New job: First dozen hours.

I started my job at Vancity Credit Union on Tuesday. My first day which was a short one, was mostly getting paper work filled out and getting an account there. Oh yeah they also gave me a gold visa which is probably the worst thing any human can do. Then I was introduced and started shadowing my jedi master Alex Noriega. Today was just a lot more shadowing, looking like a lost sheep looking over Alex's shoulder (not hard since he's 5'6" at the most). He told me that I will be starting to post tomorrow (putting transactions through). I must admit I am a lil gun shy, since people are trusting me with hundreds of thousands of dollars. I guess it's my job so I better step up. I am one step closer to becoming a real teller. Once that happens you all have to come in a get accounts and Visas' from me. I hope to see you all there.

Credit Uninon: Bank with a Conscience

I have managed to land my self a real job. No offense Ruddy, you served me well and I love you. Real jobs consist of people who dress right, are not in high school and get shot for being 3 hours late. I have wanted to work in a bank for a long time now (don't ask me why). I eventually want to become an investment advisor. So step one is to get a job at a bank so I get on with it. Landing a job at a bank is harder than I thought. After a plethora of online applications, nothing was happening. Then I met the manager of Vancity at my old job (Chez Michele). After a rigorous game of phone tag I laded an interview last Wednesday. Everything seemd to go well but of course I worried to no end. Having the biggest opportunity dropped right in my lap, if I screwed it up I would not forgive myself. So on Friday I got the call and barring a criminal record I have the job! I really feel like this is another big step in my life. I guess I need to buy a house now or soemthing...
