Go Blue!

Last weekend some friends invited me to the Michigan/Michigan State football game at the Big House in Ann Arbor. It is supposed to be the “game of the games” and I was really excited to go there.
I left my home at 7:30 am and met my friends in Northville. At 9:00 am we started tailgating at the golf course in front of the Ann Arbor stadium. Tailgate parties have become popular in the United States as social gatherings events that take place in stadium parking lots before football games. One of my friends fit me with Michigan shirts.
We had a great time, met lots of fun people, had good food and of course good drinks. Six hours later the game started. Since it was a very cold day, I couldn’t wait to stand close to some people. It was so crowded, almost every seat was taken.
I was surprised how Michigan and Michigan State fans were seated together. In a German soccer game this would be impossible because of big fights between the fans. However in Ann Arbor the atmosphere was great and we cheered the entire time for U of M. Our team lost unfortunately. Anyway I can’t wait for my next football game.
I bought my own Michigan shirts a couple days after the game. Now I feel prepared for our next cheering in hopefully two weeks.

Great post, although the final outcome wasn't so great.

There's always next year to look forward to. I suppose it's OK if MSU wins every 10 years or so.

Tara, Earl of Drunwitch

The common stereotypes against British people are: - they always drink tea & eat Fish&Chips - on vacations they always get sunburned, because the sun never shines in England - their humor is dry and sometimes a little bit strange. After a few weeks with our intern Graham from Swansea I don't agree with any of these stereotypes. I now believe that British people always drink energy drinks with strange pictures on it, they can never get sunburned because they are always wearing nice "whistles" and big American hats and their humor is everything but strange... To be honest... German humor, which means Nicky's and my humor ("The funny German girls" ©) is nearly the same...! To score some brownie points at the beginning of his time at AutoCom he brought the new Aquada to the office. And who wants David Hasselhoff and K.I.T.T. when you can have the Earl of Drunwitch and the Aquada? A nice sport car and you only have to push one button and it will be bo...

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...

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...
