Vreni and her story


We three girls always met at the same café. Here we also met Vreni. Vreni worked in the café and was incredibly pretty. Blond hair, blue eyes, a perfect trim figure and a stunning laugh. She was always extraordinarily friendly and accommodating. We appreciated her and her service highly and reflected this in our tips. We got to know more and more about her. She was the youngest of a large farmer’s family. She had 5 older siblings, but not a complete education. She had two jobs in cafes, which together made up 100%, but no pension fund contributions, because neither job exceeded the necessary threshold.Read More »

Vreni und ihre Geschichten


Wir drei Mädel haben uns immer in dem gleichem Café getroffen. So haben wir auch Vreni kennengelernt. Vreni hat in diesem Café gearbeitet und war unglaublich hübsch. Blonde Haare, blaue Augen, perfekte zierliche Figur und ein umwerfendes Lachen. Sie war immer ausgesprochen freundlich und zuvorkommend. Wir haben sie und ihre Dienste sehr geschätzt und haben es durch unser Trinkgeld demonstriert. Wir erfuhren mehr und mehr über sie. Sie war die jüngste aus einer grosse Bauernfamilie. Sie hatte fünf ältere Geschwister und hatte aber leider keine abgeschlossene Ausbildung. Sie hatte zwei Stellen im Gastgewerbe, die ihr zusammen 100% Arbeit brachten aber leider keine Beiträge in die Pensionskasse, weil sie in keinem Job die notwendige Schwelle überschritten hatte.Read More »

Das erste Mal


Es gibt eine Redewendung, dass man einem alten Hund keine neuen Tricks beibringen kann. Aber ich denke, das stimmt einfach nicht. Was zählt ist der Wille neue Sachen ausprobieren und dran zu bleiben, um sie zu erlernen.

Ich habe es leider in meiner Jugend verpasst, das Zehnfinger-System zu erlernen. Auf dem Gymnasium wurde es nicht als Fach angeboten und da man damals mehrheitlich mit der Hand geschrieben hat, war es für mich ohne Relevanz. Darum schreibe ich mit dem System “Suchender Adler“. Read More »

The first time


The first time

There is a figure of speech that you can’t teach an old dog new tricks. But I believe that is simply not true. What matters is the will to try something new and not give up until one has learned it.

Unfortunately, when I was young, I failed to learn the ten-finger system. At school it was not on the curriculum and as at the time one usually wrote by hand, it was of no relevance to me. Therefore I write using the „searching eagle“ system. Read More »
