Money Time

Hi All

Getting to the last three weeks of my internship and I am starting to see the end. On Friday we were taken, all interns, to the Craftsman Experience and the Kenmore Studios in downtown Chicago. The Craftsman Experience was very impressive, and it is a great marketing tool. I think the Kenmore Studios could be better in presenting our products, but I was still very pleased to see the different products and to tell what stands behind each one. This week suppose to be the busiest week when we host the face to face negotiation with all the major home appliances vendors in the world to provide the next Kenmore products in the next five years. I can't even disclose how much money is on stack but I'm sure there countries in the world with GDP lower than that.

I have many things to learn from this process which I'll be able to take forward for the rest of my career, form the professional aspect, as well as from the personal aspect. I see how different people handle in different ways with such a stressful process and I should remember and learn from it. Personally I learned that it is never enough to question my numbers. In such a complex modeling there isn't enough verification, there always can be more.

Although the excitement of this process, I must admit that I'm looking over the horizon over my fast approaching vacation. I can't miss Ann Arbor more than I already miss it and I hope the three more weeks I have will fly by.

Yoav.
