This was an interesting week.
On Monday, I went was told that for the rest of the week, I would be working on my own for the rest of the week because Herr Schröter would be in Ulm for the rest of the week. As part of their new employee training procedures, we had to attend what they called the "Erstinformationsveranstaltung" which is a big fancy word for "a presentation where they tell us about what to do in an emergency in these buildings, and what the different signs mean". It was interesting. I got a piece of paper, where I am supposed to collect signatures every time I get a safety discussion. (So later that day, I got the safety clearance to use the Rheometer). But immediately after the Erstinformationsveranstaltung we had our first Technikumsrunde, which is a meeting between our Chefin and all the people who work at the Technikum. As I've since learned, there is a meeting before this meeting (usually) for the people who work with Adhesives (Klebstoffrunde), and then every Friday, we have a Gruppenrunde in which all the people who work for BMW in the department get together and exchange information. (Most of the people who work in the Technikum are actually employees of P+Z Engineering).
After work, I went to a store called Münchner Blech. This is where I rented a trombone for the summer. All together it will cost me about 25€, so I'm pleased to have it for the summer. (despite the fact that I left the bulk of my music at home). I had a nice discussion with a very helpful employee there about renting a trombone, ( completely different attitude from the previous music store that I went to).

On Tuesday, I sat down with Herr Hermann Schwippl and went through a PowerPoint presentation about the safety procedures specificly for the Technikum. After that, I needed to return to my apartment to pick up my Passport because I'd forgotten it that day and needed it for my appointment at the Hypovereinsbank on Frankfurter Ring. I sat down with the representative at HVB and set up a bank account so that my earnings from BMW could be delivered to me, the payment for the Studentenwerk paid, and (as I found out later) the payment for the trombone paid.
After this appointment, I went back to Münchner Blech and finalized the transaction with the Trombone (which included giving them my bank account information so they could charge the rent directly). Like I said before, the people here were much more helpful than the other store.

On Wednesday, we had a Gruppenrunde in the Technikum conference room. This one was, in addition to other information exchange, specifically to get to know Ramsey and myself. So we got to announce to the entire Technikum who we were. It was interesting. This day, I was the last person still working at the Technikum. Due to the safety protocol for that work space, nobody is allowed to work there alone, so, as the second to last person working there, Herr Severin Mayer waited an extra 5 minutes for me to finish what I was working on and walked out with me. It was a nice chance to talk a bit with him. (Interesting fellow. Eventually, I'll write a bit about everybody that I've met).
On Thursday, I got to talking with another intern from Germany, Christoph Schmid. He was a very nice person, but then his internship was supposed to end the next Wednesday. He told me that he would almost believe me if I told him that German was my Muttersprache (original language). That was nice. Later that day, I went to the Personal Direkt and dropped off my Bank Konto information and then found out that I still needed to square away my insureance information, so I went directly over to BKK BMW; BMW's internal insurance agency. This went very easily. The lady at the desk filled out all of the paperwork for me.
Friday was fairly uneventful, except for the Computer crashing twice during the same test that I was running. It wasn't especially fun.
