[Saturday: 6+ with Boardtown Runners; today: 3.0 planned]
This week I am in Birmingham, AL for a class at the Alabama Broadcasters Association, introductory broadcast engineering. Things in the class are going well.
But I did have one minor glitch, my cellphone has lost it’s mind. Since I told the folks at work I would be available by phone, I’m in a bit of a pickle.
I got up early and went over to Walmart and looked through their cheap prepaid phone plans. I eventually just left. Too much confusion for me. I think I understood that a flip-phone could be had for about $10 and then another $20 for a 30-day “plan”. But some of the packages talked about another startup fee and others didn’t.
I decided to wait until I can connect with the phone guys at work and see what they recommend. If they would overnight me a new phone then I’d just have one day off the grid. Or maybe I could walk into the Verizon store and they would get me a new phone there.
Besides the phone stuff, things are doing OK.
I have this basic class this week, then I have an “advanced” class in early March which is 3 days long. After all of that, I’m hoping I can get a certification as a broadcast engineer.
