Hope you all had a lot of fun !





PRIZE-CHANGE: SEE BELOW UNDER PRIZES !!!


CLOSED: VOTING/JUDGING IS IN PROGRESS !!!



UPDATE DEADLINE:  NEW DATE WILL BE 07th OCTOBER 2014 !!!!!!



Nothing is without a reason:


I have passed examination. Probably you would say that this is nothing impressive, but in my case it is in several regards.

I have taken part at something that is called "quality check" in my country. It says: "If you are older than 45 years and want to become indespensible for your company...." Well, I took part at some kind of further studies. One third was paid by social fonds (of chancellor Mrs. Merkel), one third was raised out of student's fonds and one third I paid myself. Funny thing I absolved that "quality check" and passed my 2 1/2 years further studies as "Logistikmeister/in", I think it can be translated "Warehouse Manager".

The profession of "Logistikmeister" has only been existing since 2004. First trainings started in 2007. So, the job is relative new and it is a men's domain. I am the first Hessian female entering this men's domain with success. (Another point of joy).

So, for me that is a Celebration Festival Contest :heart:
Hope that I can share my joy with all of you :hug:
