Sitka's David Brinker turns 19

I remember when Dave first came through the doors of Sitka's World Headquarters. He was green, shy, but hungry to learn. Still in school, fresh with ideas, bad habits, and easily distracted, we had to stay on Dave to keep focused. Terrible communication skills, no organizational skills, but great with the computer. Boy could he work that laptop.
After a few weeks of practicing his phone skills, just basic "thanks for calling Sitka, can I help you?" we let him answer a few calls. That didn't last too long though. He was always hanging up by accident, or answering questions with a question. Sometimes he'd just pick up and not saying anything...just breathe.
Eventually, under a heavy hand, it all started to click. Or, maybe it was him getting married? Doesn't matter. Dave's running his own program, taken the bull by the horns, and we couldn't be luckier. The heavy breathing on the phone is still a problem though.
Happy Birthday Double Clutch, and congrats on graduating finally from the old fashion stick and string to the laser fast, big cam, speedo compound thing that shoots arrows. Maybe you'll start hitting stuff.

Dave has been great but whenever we have a disagreement he seems to always go to his standard "dance off" request to come to a resolution...

Thanks Jon. I'm glad that the days of freezing up on the phone are over, what a relief. I equally thankful that I'm now, finally, after a ton of hard work, an ambi-turner.
