Short note

Due to my most recent experiences I’d like to put down something interesting about my employer:

MAGNA is the second largest employer in Styria.

I thought, that would be of interest for those, who start asking whether you know Franz or Martin or Alex or Anna becase – what a coincidence – they’re working for MAGNA, too. Suuuuurprise! Let me tell you one thing: Thousands of other Styrians also do.
Normally, the average asker doesn’t know anything more about Franz than that he "...is a really nice guy with blonde hair". A family name or even short description of what he does at MAGNA, in which city he works or what department he belongs to is a rare piece of information that is given very seldom. How am I expected to say "Yes, I know Franz, he's a really nice colleague." in that situation without lying? There are more than 150 hits for "Franz" in the e-telephone book (and that's just for MAGNA Graz...). How to find out which one is the one you talk about??

So please remember above mentioned because I’m tired of “He, wieso kennst du den net, der arbeitet ja auch bei MAGNA?”-discussions… We're a big family at MAGNA and don't necessarily know each and every family-member.... Sorry! :-)

yes, even a man could understand it now...maybe your next post should aim for apes... (ok - when regarding this from an evolutionary point of view this might be correct, but evolution is only a myth - ID (Intelligent Design) is the only truth)

P.S. nice to hear that there are (currently at least...) no aggressive feelings towards me humble self...

Yarah hat gesagt…

you talking about id?!? i thought you were a pastafari? :-)

Anonym hat gesagt…

hmmm...true...I am actually am...but I somehow could not remember how we call ourselves, thus I, temporarily, switched to ID... ;-) (basically by following one of my role models who once said "die wahrheit ist eine tochter der zeit".)
