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.

Hey Paul,

nice idea to have some beers with the new Autocom interns but don't forget that German people are able to drink a lot:-)

Nice warm welcome to the new interns, Paul. Hopefully you'll keep your promises.
I agree with you, I made the experience that Americans can drink a lot...especially shots in the size of two shots in Germany. I remember a conversation with one of my friends...after the drink was served I said "Wow, that's a really small cocktail"..."that's a shot, honey" :o) Yes, these are the small differences. Americans have huge shots but yellow water called "beer" ;o)

So have fun listening to Mozart....
