Art is all around…

Last weekend was dedicated to the arts! It started off with the Automotive Recycled Technology Art Exhibition at Behr America on Friday afternoon. Art students from Wayne State University created artworks out of recycled automotive parts provided by Behr America. They did a wonderful job, although I couldn’t always tell what the exhibits were supposed to demonstrate. But I guess that just shows my ignorance regarding art! The work I liked best was a shelf with several tubes upon it. The glasses were filled with a yellow automotive fluid and automotive parts. It looked awesome!

On Saturday, I exercised the art of successful shopping followed by watching the movie “Burn after Reading” - a high quality movie directed by the Coen Brothers. Truth to be told, I only wanted to watch it because of George Clooney and Brad Pitt!

My weekend ended with seeing the Birmingham-Bloomfield Symphony Orchestra (BBSO) live in concert! Up until then I wasn’t a big fan of classical music, but this all changed on Sunday evening. The sound was terrific and the location (a synagogue in Bloomfield Hills) just beautiful! Go and check them out http://www.bbso.org/!

I'm glad to hear it was a success. What a shame, I couldn't attend, I would have loved to see how it turned out and what the students created with the parts. A year ago, I started planning the event together with Jan and it was great.

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...
