Too lazy to be stupid

I took a course and an exam last Monday. The goal was to get a certificate in safety at work. There's a good project in the pipeline for February (hurray!) and the client is a large building company, that requires this specific certificate in order to be allowed to work on the site. So I registered for a course+exam, all to happen on the same day... but overlooked that I was supposed to prepare by doing a 3-hour 'e-learning'.
I didn't do even a single minute of it! And so I had to pick up as much as I could from the one day course.

The room was cold, the hotel was almost stylish and vaguely rundown. All the other folks present were builders and other workers who very much did not want to be there but had been sent in by their bosses.
The projector was out of order, so we got all the information in spoken word and scribbles on a flipover.
To make things worse, the instructor was a mumbler, who spoke as if he was paying by the syllable. He swallowed half of the letters: a word like 'tijdelijk' (temporary) came out as 'tijlk'. I suspected he might have Danish ancestors.

The exam itself was at the end of the day. There were 70 questions and I had to wing most of them, and rely on properly reading the question and working out the logic behind it. Some of them were about unfamiliar terminology and I had to gamble and hope for the best.
So you can imagine how relieved I felt when I heard that I passed the exam anyway!
