Am vergangenen Samstag habe ich wieder einmal die Schulbank gedrückt: bin nach Bielefeld gereist, um zu lernen, wie man ein Funkgerät fachgerecht bedient.
OK, that was on March 8 but right around that date Plan B's female exec Aila was in Bielefeld, Germany, near the Teutoburger Forest, where Hermann defeated the Roman army in 9 AD. She was there to attend classes for her VHF radio license test later in the month. Thirty in the class. Twenty-nine men. Go, Aila!
An dem Kurs nahmen etwa 30 Leute teil, davon 99,9 Prozent Männer.
The course is from the same online instructor, Rolf Dreher, with whom Aila successfully got her boating license.
Der Unterricht dauerte mit Pausen von 9 Uhr morgens bis 9 Uhr abends (bzw. von 0900 bis 2100 UTC). Danach war ich entsprechend geschafft und verstand nur noch eines: Bahnhof.
After 12 hours of classes, from nine to nine, Aila returned to her hotel room, eyes glazed. The room, she said, was a superb example of soulless, user-unfriendliness, but clean and well located, at least.
Am nächsten Tag gings per Bahn zurück auf die Plan B zum Büffeln.
She was glad to get on the tain back to her crew and they were glad to see her!
