Who Wants a Picture, Not a Belly Itcher?


Well, I think that it is customary to upload a picture of yourself after you're hired, so here's mine. This was taken in Paris at the Jardin du Palais Royal. This was my favorite reading spot this past spring when I was studying in Paris. So, since my picture isn't on AutoCom's website, I guess it'll have to do here.

Procrastinating the Hello

As much as I enjoy to hear the click of my keyboard, (in some cases I lightly tap the keys, just to make is sound like I'm typing really fast) I rarely use it to say "Hello" to people that I've never met. You should feel quite honored then, shouldn't you?
I will be meeting some of you in the coming months, those coming from Austria and Germany, (I must admit that I enjoy Austria more so than Germany, I mean I love the mountains, what can I say?) and I look forward to congratulating you on the amazing exchange rate that you will be able to take advantage 0f. You should start feeling right at home here in the United States, since the Treasury Department just released the new $1 coin. We don't have $2 dollar coins, nor many 50 cent pieces, but it's one step at a time here in the US.
Upon your arrival from Austria, we will be playing Mozart very loudly, because he is Austria's son, and the first night that you are here we are going to have a movie night, guess which one? Yes, "The Sound of Music." Oh, how we love Salzburg.
Upon your arrival from Germany we will drink beer, how does that sound? I can't really think of anything else to say, maybe we'll go test drive some Mercedes (before the beer.)
This is my warm welcome to those of you who will soon be joining us here at AutoCom, (and no, we don't get any discounts on cars. But, I bet you I could get you a discount on international automotive regulations and specifications.) We will be seeing you soon and we look forward to hearing from you.

Paul.


p.s. In no way am I guaranteeing a discount on international automotive regulations and specifications.
