05:25 PM Tom_L: but has the hands on knowledge to help
05:26 PM lcnc-relay: <ccatlett1984@> Be sure to let him know, since this is probably his first desk job, that if he gets a lot of solicitor requests on the phone, he can request a different phone number. Assuming he has a direct line.
05:26 PM JT-Shop: running first is best for a programmer
05:26 PM Tom_L: yeah
05:26 PM lcnc-relay: <ccatlett1984@> Heaven knows the crap that I've gotten, from the last person to have a phone number at work.
