New Accounts Payable home

It is the start of the summer semester and my A/P department has moved to the ITRC. The building is beautiful and very high tech. The only sad part is I will not be able to eat lunch with my other intern friends in the plant cafeteria. :( But there are new interns I will meet in this building.

I am going to post a few pictures I took of the building and sign last week.

Sad week :(

Most of the interns/co-op students are leaving this weekend, since their rotation is complete, including my roommates. It will be really sad to see the friends I have made this semester go back to their colleges. Hopefully I will see them again if I get a full time job offer from BMW for next fall!

We are really busy this week, as one of the contract employees was let go. We are having to make up the work that she usually did on a day to day basis. Its the hard part of the real world to see someone you have worked with every day no longer be here. But life goes on.

Performance Evaluation

I just survived my first performance evaluation!! I was so nervous going into the conference room. The general accounting manager and an accounting analyst who I work with daily were there. They were given an evaluation form by the BMW student recruiter to complete. They just went down the list and read off what they put for each one. I did really well! The only thing I really need to work on, and they just said this comes with practice, is communication. I send emails to suppliers daily to answer their invoice questions, and sometimes I do not answer their questions completely.

They were really supportive and appreciative of the work I've done. I told them I really like the company and would be really interested in applying to BMW after I graduate. :)
