Yesterday it was time.
3,5 years, at first it seemed an eternity, are finally over. The official acquittance takes place in our workshop, the place we learned things, we spent long days, we took exams at. You sit there with you whole class and await your certificates.
The examination board standing in front of us, the certificates are being handed out, the results are being named. My turn.
„Frontrunner. No one is better.“ Applause. 94 percent. A.
I still don’t get it fully. Those three and a half years are gone. I sure look back gratefully. I might haven’t been the simplest classmate, I admit. I’d rather do my own thing, than sticking to those unwritten rules. I didn’t ever ask about it, but I understood I sometimes was considered a ‘freak’. All I can say is: I had a good class, good colleagues and a really good time. Thank you guys, I will always like to look back on the days. Not the least because we did it!
Without god I could have never gotten such results. I think behind that completion ist more than just a guy who is good at taking exams.
After all the formalities (those at home, too) we four colleagues went out for dinner. We ordered a bunch of ribs and the munching began. Meat is the right thing for real men! Here my personal motto:
What tastes good, has to get you dirty!
It’s kinda funny. You walk into a decent restaurant just to rip gnaw meat of bones like Asterx & Obelix in the end. Your fingers are covered in grease, you barely want to touch your knife to seperate the single ribs. It has to be that way. And real men WITH their certificate in the pocket eat much! Should be worth it for sure! And it truly tasted phenomenal. Even the teeth wanted to keep as much as possible as long as possible.
All in all a superb finish! We have spent some years of our lives together and that doesn’t past without marks.
Now I have started on my new job already and I am very satisfied. In my apprenticeship I was put there for longer periods of time and so I already know all the people and the work there.
It isn’t a sophisticated job, but I imagined it that way: Go there, work, go home. No thoughts about solving urgent problems at work. At most maybe who is the next to shout a round of coffee…
The relationship to my coworkers is the most important thing at any workplace in my opinion. And it works great there. Like in a dream…
Sometimes I feel like my life is going on railtracks.
Elementary school, secondary school, apprenticeship, work.
You almost have no choice. It just goes. And it goes undeservingly well! I hope I will be able to value that one day.
But I don’t want to stay on those tracks. That’s why I plan the year abroad. I see it fixed on my resumee.
