Peter Brand: Are those my only two options?

My father in law once told me when he stood in front of his staff here at Konawa he would tell them “I do feel a little like Liz Taylor’s 8^th husband on their wedding night. I know what to do but I’m not sure this will be very exciting for you. But I’m sure gonna try.”

Need Help?  We pride ourselves in support. We have a great support system. You can call us 6 days a week from 8am-9pm. We have gotten calls at 11:00 at night. Put us in as Website Guy. Don’t Mike Palmer. We don’t want your spouse going through your phone going who is this. Mike from Gabbart? Why yes I do wear khaki’s and a blue polo shirt.  

If you are working more than 10 minutes a week on your website, you’re doing it wrong or an overachiever. If you are stuck and can’t figure something out in 4-5 minutes, call us, send in a support ticket. Don’t be afraid to call on us.
