About Cologne, Cars and Trees… - Update from the other Side of the Lake

 Hi or as we would say in Franconia "Servus",

a couple of months have passed since I started my internship at AutoCom and even though I cannot share something about the amazing sites within and around Detroit, I can still give you an update on what is happening. 

Philipp has joined us two months ago and we two are currently working on the Social Media Appearance of AutoCom. Even as "digital nomads" we encounter challenges and still have a lot to learn. However, it is great just to create new things from scratch or nearly immediately see a result when sharing a story or creating a post. 

But enough of work…

About Cologne

Cologne - near the Dome
Larry and the others offered me to go to Cologne to attend a meeting with a client and I - of course - couldn't resist and decided to stay even a bit longer. It was a nice trip with splendid late summer weather and I was able to take a lot of images - at least until my battery died. 

About cars

Since some of my initial projects were crushed by the current pandemic, I decided to do something else. My mother owns a 31-year old Audi 80 B3 with a total of 75 PS (I know… a lot, isn't it) which is no my car. It is in relatively good shape but a friend of mine and I decided to make the beauty ready for the newest 31 years. I will keep you posted if we do not get too frustrated…

About trees

One of my main goals for 2020 was to finally move out of my parent's basement. As a result, and knowing that the US would be out of reach for the rest of the year, I packed up my stuff and moved into a flat on the other side of my suburb near Nürnberg. While the necessary relocation of all my possessions was quite uncoordinated and badly planned, we had to rely on my beautiful old Audi to equip my new home with everything needed. We moved flowers, paintings, electronics, and last but not least my nearly 170 cm large tree which was placed comfortably at the passenger seat breathing some fresh air while the window was opened. Fortunately, no one saw us…

Anyways, that were some of the things that happened since my last post. Let's see what the rest of the year will have in its back. 

Stay safe!

I won’t be an intern anymore. :)

Hi everybody! There is news again from my life. You know, I am a person who never stops doing something. Either I travel almost every weekend (like I did in the States) or I am looking for new challenges all the time. :-) Well, my internship in Munich as a marketing consulting intern is not too bad, but I have finished University…so what I want is a real job and not an internship. (The only internship I would love to do, even after I graduated, is the one I already did with AutoCom). :) So I continued applying for jobs. I restricted the area to Bavaria for the first applications, because I love that part of Germany. I love the Bavarian dialect (it is so cute and sexy the same time). I love their “Brezn” and their white sausages. And here is the news: I will start on the 26th of November as an employee at Novartis. Novartis is a huge German pharmaceutical company. I will work there for the strategic sourcing marketing. So I will be the one choosing agencies, advertising materials and so...

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...
