Goodbye Kim!

It’s unbelievable how fast time flies! At the end of January Kim already had her last day here at AutoCom as her internship period came to an end. I’m glad that I could spend the last four months together with her at work and outside of the office as well. She was a great co-worker and always spread a good mood through the office with her smile :) I very much enjoyed our lunch breaks in which we typically ate pasta, rice or wraps together and reviewed the last weekend or talked about food, upcoming and past city trips or the time here in the U.S. in general. I will never forget how she talked to herself while working and how she put balsamic sauce on every lunch break dish she ate.


Also, after work and on the weekends we had a great time and did a lot of fun things together. No matter whether we cooked pasta with dinosaur nuggets, went shopping in the evening, listened and sang along to music during our drive to the office or went to a bar or restaurant in Royal Oak – we always laughed a lot :) And we even handled less pleasant situations like push-starting a stuck car in the middle of a snowy street or selecting a Halloween costume late in the evening at a very crowded Halloween store after we already spent over an hour in another store (thanks for the patience that evening Kim :D). All in all, we had a great time working together at AutoCom and living near each other in Royal Oak!

I and the whole AutoCom team wish you lots of fun as well as many new experiences during your study semester in Brazil. Thank you Kim for your time at AutoCom, we will miss you a lot!

We will see each other again when we’re both back in Germany later this year! ;)

Jack inducted into PRSA Detroit Chapter Hall of Fame!

Hi everyone! Last night we went to the PRSA Detroit Chapter’s annual meeting. During the meeting was a ceremony for Jack Harned’s induction into the Hall of Fame. The meeting was downtown at the beautiful DTE Energy building. We had a great time networking with fellow colleagues in the PR industry and catching up with previous AutoCom employees. After dinner, Marty gave a great introduction to Jack. Jack’s speech was absolutely wonderful! Every one loved it! He talked about some of his past experiences from his hometown newspaper to working with GM and NASA. It seemed that everyone loved hearing his stories as much as we do at our Friday lunches! It’s great to know that Jack’s peers recognize all of his hard work. He has accomplished and seen so much, he truly deserves this award. From all of us at AutoCom: Congrats, Jack! We are all so proud of you! Leave some comments for Jack and keep an eye out for pictures, coming soon, at AutoCom's Facebook page! Until next time, Julia, Kerry

Time to say Goodbye

Only two days left until Don Haberek will leave the AutoCom Team. He was our COO, interns supervisor and the best cake cutter ever! He always had time for the intern's issues and was listening very patiently and carefully to us. Even if he had to repeat his advice a billion times for the foreign interns! But he wasn't only a great interns supervisor. He also gave everbody the oppotunity to gain some weight, when he was cutting perfectly our (nearly weekly ;-)) cake. We really hope, we will find somebody who has the same great technic to cut a cake: 1) Be very gentle to the cake! 2) Use a very sharpe-edged knife, especially our chocolate junky Mareike doesn't want to waste a bit! 3) Be sure that you cut enough pieces. But we think we allready have a new cake cutter. After a long long time Don finally found his twin brother. And accidentally he is working for AutoCom aswell. :-) Who is dressing like Don, must have the same skills! Thanks for everything, we wi ll miss having

Who is Wayne???

Now I am more than one month here and time is going by so fast. I wanted to post earlier, but we had some problems with the blog. My first month was more like a week. Getting a Social Sec. No, a bank account, finding a new place, discovering Detroit (I got totally lost when I moved to my new place, but thank god I have my own navigation system called Nicky&Josh :o)). My new place downtown. I just have to figure out, how I can get rid of my room mate "Young" :-) But the hardest thing was to find a car. In particular I had one big problem: Former interns bought their cars at Wayne’s garage. But nobody at AutoCom knew Wayne’s last name. And trying to find Wayne by the search terms “Wayne, garage and car” at google was very ineffective. Asking all former interns was interesting, too. Nicky and I got very different information and so we tried to merge all the different pieces of the puzzle to one big “Wayne’s-Address-Puzzle”. But finally we got to Wayne’s garage. For all futu
