Work Experience Day 1

Yesterday i began my long awaited Work Experience at Virgin Media TV. I had been anticipating it for quite some time and i have to say my first day was brilliant.
Since it was the first day my dad drove me. Traffic was awful but we got there with 1 minute to spare until my supervisor came to greet me ^ ^; Along with another fellow Work Experience-er (made up that word), i was then given a tour of the amazing 5 floor complex that was Virgin Media TV. After said tour we then went to watch some DVD's about Virgin Media and thier goals. Very interesting.
Soon after we were greeted by a member of staff from HR (Human Rescources..i think) who took at through health and safety. Then we were introduced to our department, Creative Services and got to work. I spent the day making promo's which are basically adverts where people say stuff....yeah...It was all very fun. I also got given a pass to get in and out of the building. Virgin Media TV is tight on security of course so all staff members must have a pass that they scan into doors to unlock them. High Tech stuff. Not sure if I'm allowed to take photographs but i will if i am since the building is so modern inside. I'm sure you would all love to see some good pictures of what it's like inside. I'm off to my second day soon so, until next time...Sayonara ^ ^



I was given some free gifts upon my arrival. A Most Haunted DVD Boxset and a book about Virgin Media.

Man, you got a boxset!! Is most haunted any good? Please try and take pictures of the high tech stuff, I mean who doesn't love high tech stuff?

Is one of Virgin Medias goals to "Take over the world"? or maybe thats like secret. They are certainly doing well on the UK shop front.

Glad your enjoying work experience, I'm a bit sour that mine sucked lol

Most Haunted is very good. Some people think its staged but its real enough to hook me and it's rare for a TV programme to hook me. Highly reccomended if you feel like being just a little bit scared. It's a very tense and unpredictable show.
