If this is how associates act....I need to become an RPT as soon as possible!! That is my goal, and I am working toward that great honor, knowing that the learning never stops there! BTW Duaine, when are you taking the PTG exams??

In fact, I have so much so that I know I can service the public after being trained on a daily basis for three years from a 30 yr RPT. Being trained on every tuning, side by side, my mentor .... who ... was ..... an aural tuner for many years ..... using Cybtertuner. I beginning to see the light. I beginning to see that a ... well .... trained ... Associate ... is scaring the hell out of some ... for fear that we can do just as good a job as RPT's without becoming one ourselves. And still learning along the way. Duaine David Ilvedson wrote: Duaine, You've got some serious problems with self-esteem...I'd get them checked out with a professional...
