The Loneliness of a long distance tester

(Posted 10:10:24 on 18th August 2007 by Mr O)
Ok, some of you may know what I do for a living, but sometimes it does take a turn out of the ordinary. One of the products the organisation I work for offers is a pre-paid debit card, basically it's a debit card that you can pre-load with a set amount of money. Part of what I do is when we are issuing a new type of card, I have to test that it works at shops and ATMs before they are sold to the general public.

Well today, I've had to test whether one of our cards works on online gambling and bingo websites as we've had some questions from customers who have encountered problems. That may sound fun, but after you've entered the same details on the 13th website in a row, it gets a bit tedious.

To add to that joy, and as an open invitation to burglars and muggers, I also have to conduct some testing at 2am tonight/tomorrow morning as a change is being implemented and I have to make sure it works before any of our customers encounter problems.

So if I make it back alive from the dangerous streets of Peterborough tonight, I'll let you know how I got on.

Until then, 22, all the twos, two muggers following you. Happy bingoing.
