Graduation

On 16th of February I had finished my study in Business Administration. Almost one month later I had my graduation in the ceremony hall of the WU Wien, where the whole family, except the Italian branch and grandma Susi, came to support me! It was great to have the ceremony with Christoph, who is one of my best colleagues and also my flatmate. Usually, you finish different to other colleagues because of different starting or rhythm or working. So it was really great to celebrate with his family before the graduation!



After the one hour ceremony we had some champagne. Then we drove to Oberschützen, where we had dinner at Mostschank Unger, where food is always very good! Actually it is too good, because everybody eats so much, that you cannot move anymore.

At this time I want to say thank you again to all of them for coming, celebrating with me and of course the very generous presents they made!

So from now on it is Mag. Leitner, which sounds very strange, because I always thought as male Leitner you have to get it in your thirty's, but okay, why not earlier! ;-)

best regards,

Hannes

This year some has changed. Just a small detail but with big impact! It is my first Christmas break which isn’t a real break, because I do have to work from 28th till 30th. Okay, as it is holiday season, there was not much to do, but still I had to get up early. I took the chance to work on my final thesis, which is near completion. I hopefully will hand the whole thesis to my professor in the second week of January. Then it shouldn’t take that long, because he read already 70 pages of it and should easily review the missing 20 pages. Therefore, I am expecting to obtain my degree in February and the ceremony should take place in March 11th or 12th.
At the moment there is a more important event coming on – the New Year’s Eve! This year, I used the long weekend to make it a Christmas present to Nadine. It includes the trip to Sabine & Bernd, with whom we will celebrate in Milan. Moreover, we even will have the chance to watch Bernd’s game on January 3rd and have some time to show Nadine the city along with expensive boutiques, where she definitely will start dreaming. Therefore, I am lucky to still be a student – excuse-vice! :-D
So Happy New Year to all m friends & family!

Will be back on January 4th to make all the kissing and hugging!

Back to blogging

Quiet a long time ago, but during my hard time writing for my last hurdle of my degree. I rather spent my time where I didn’t read or write without typing. So now, as I still have some pages to accomplish, I am back with some News. Even better, I am going to try to recap what happened last few months.

First, Nadine and I spent some days in Croatia on the isle Rab, where I had been in May already. Nothing changed to my good opinion towards Rab and its wonderful coves! This time we even had a big experience by a big rubber tube! Nadine’s father pulled us by boat through the Adriatic Sea. Unfortunately, we had to leave Croatia after few days, because we had to catch our pre-booked flight to Barcelona operated by Sky Europe. It was one of the last flights, which took off from Vienna – just with a 4 hour delay, but still took off. But our flight back arrived in Bratislava, which wasn’t a big problem, because Nadine’s father picked us up at the Slovakian airport and by car it was just a 20 min delay, because it just takes 5 min from landing to leaving the airport.

After the vacations, I was back on track to write some pages for my final thesis, but there was not much time, because next event was close. I decided to work at the INFORM for dieBank as a Barkeeper, which was very exhausting on one side, but made a lot of fun on the other side.

By first of September I replaced Tina in the Gunners office, because she went on maternity leave. 20 hours a week didn’t sound that much, but ending up working almost twice as agreed, took me completely out of my writing rhythm. Anyway, it made a lot of fun to work for the club, where I helped out already in summer 2006. Knowing what things have to be done and being familiar with the structure and the workflows, I could integrate myself really easy.

Since November I am doing an internship at the Deutsche Bank in the Global Markets Department. My contract will last until End of February and I am desperate to stay in this sector for my future career. Beside the job I am trying to help out the club concerning administration. So still quite busy all the time, but who cares about watching TV and a lot of sleep. The only thing what I would like to do is working myself out, but there is no time for it, yet.

At the moment, I finished 71 pages of my 85-page final thesis. So now I am entering the last curve in a long a... run.

In my next few reports I will do a more detailed recap.

Regards

Hannes

Games & Beer

Last four days were full with beer and fun. All started with Mondays work out with Uli at Hotel Paierl in Bad Waltersdorf. Afterwards, we headed towards Gleisdorf on a snowy highway. We started with Hefeweizen beer right away and stopped drinking close to midnight.

Tuesday evening I continued with some Ottakringer during the game-session with Fiedi, Hubert & Andy. We played Puerto Rico and we had to give Andy two victories, because he still had toothache from his surgery earlier this day. ;-) I was not pleased with my performance - once last spot and a good second place! Next time I definetely will do better!

Yesterday, I had an interview with Prof. Eschenbach, who will take care of my final thesis. My topic will be "St. Gallener Strategiekonzepte von Ulrich bis Malik". Before I started to read, I had to drink more beer with Gong and Bendesch @Stylez. And after arriving in OW, you can image what I did @Hooters with the guys - of course some more beer!!! :-D So, a lot of beer these days.

Today, it's time to do some sport!

I will now head out for running! Remember the scenic running track in NPB.

Der Onkel frisst sich durch die Präsentationen

s

Da ich zur Zeit auf Job/Praktikum Suche bin, besuche ich fleißig die Recruiting Events des zBp's. Gestern stand Roland Berger Strategy Consultans am Programm. Die Präsentationen sind nicht nur reine Recruiting Events, es werden auch aktuelle Themen diskutiert und man lernt die Mitarbeiter des Wiener Büros besser kennen. Nach jedem Event gibt es ein Buffet mit Brötchen und Getränken. Alles im Allen ist es ein interessanter Abend. Es war meine 3. Veranstaltung die ich besucht habe, und immer taucht dieser Onkel auf. Er ist mir schon letzten Juni aufgefallen, wo er sich mit Brötchen vollgestopft hatte, damals bei Shell. Letzten 2 Wochen war er wieder anwesend und hat geschaufelt was das Zeug hält. Aber er sticht nicht nur durch seine Ess-Qualitäten heraus, sondern auch durch seine dummen Fragen während der Präsentation. Auf die Aussage von Booz&Company Mitarbeiter über die enge Kundenbeziehung, fragte er ob sie die telefonisch erzeugen?! Wir haben uns totgelacht!

Bine hat Beckham! Ist ja nix! Er ist der wahre ONKEL!!! (Es ist der Typ rechts neben dem "Sträfling")
