intensive language training project

In case anybody is wondering if everything went smoothly with the refund for the car that broke down two weeks ago…
Well, I have the great opportunity to improve my English even more thanks to Budget Car Rental (especially when it comes to legal terms which I do not use that often).
Budget decided to invest lots of time and manpower in order to educate me and show how important customer service is to them. „intensive language training project“ weiterlesen

After I’ve got my free tickets from Translink, I am visiting one city every day of the weekend. Thanks again to Translink for this opportunity!

This Saturday I went to Londonderry/Derry and decided to stay there over night… „visiting the walled city (pt. 1)“ weiterlesen

Paul Panser – Disappointing Weekend

Hey Dudes, it’s me again,

My saturday started at 15 o’clock. I was really lazy that day because of the night before. The only reason I climbed out of my bed was… who had known:  football :). The matches were supposed to start at 15.30 o’clock, so I turned on the live radio and then I thought $%^&… in germany it’s already 16.30 o’clock!!! Argh I bit myself in the ass. And on the top of that my favorite team BVB Dortmund was going to lose. Anyway it was not that important, because they are already the masters of this years season 😀 „Paul Panser – Disappointing Weekend“ weiterlesen

Paul Panser – Another Week Ends

What’s up folks?

I was really excited on Thursday, because my company invited me to do some Karting after work. That day we talked a lot at the office with each other. It was quite a nice day.

At 17 o’clock Greg ordered some pizzas and chips to the office. After we ate as much as we could, me and Matt drove to the Karting place. It was inside a big hall, where the main colors on the walls were black, red and gold. That was quite the advantage for me ;). In the waiting area you can play table tennis, pool and some video games on some old, nostalgic gaming automats.

After we put on our race outfits we got an introduction for the race. We decided to plan the driver switches by ourselves. I teamed up with Jim. He was really enthusiastic, because he thought: He is a German, he is like Michael Schuhmacher! Yeah he had high expectations on me and I hope I didn’t dissappointed him, but now to the details of the race.

Every team had one Go-Kart to drive with. The race was going to last one hour, so Jim decided to switch places every 12 minutes. I said that he can drive in the first place, because I didn’t knew the race course. Jim was really good and after 12 minutes I waved him out. Now it was my turn, but my first round was not so good, because I was only getting used to the Go-Kart. After three laps I was used to the kart and to the course and I think I did not too bad :).

When the race was finished our team was only on the fourth place (from seven teams), but it doesn’t matter, because we all had much fun. After we honored the winners…

Paul Panser – Back to Work

Hi there folks.

Yeah, Tuesday was my first day at work after so many days off. It was quite nice to relax for the time, because I was very busy and had some trouble in Berlin right before the exchange to Belfast.

So I came fresh and with new power back to work. Unfortunately there was not much to do, so I used the time to study some topics like RAID – Systems, Server Security and other server-related topics in the Server+ Certification Bible.

On Wednesday I almost did the same like the day before. Those days exist, too. You can’t do anything about it, so I used the day to study again and to write my blog entrys, because I was really lazy about writing these in the past days.

In the evening I chatted a little bit with my friends back in germany.

One more thing to add: Happy Birthday to my cousine Laura ♥♥♥

See ya folks!
