How was this different and how did you make the adjustments and what was Wallace's role in all this?
14:35
So the easy part for me was since I had a background in the CMS program, I was familiar with the contracts.
14:43
So that made things easy for me.
14:45
So I tried to take those skills towards the new level of work as program manager.
14:51
And then honestly, I shadowed Wallace and leading up to the job being open since my goal was to be a program manager.
14:59
I met with all the other program managers here at NIB just to kind of learn what they do and how they go about their day-to-day to see, is this really what I want? So I took those skills and tried to put my own spin on it.
15:14
I didn't want to completely mirror people.

26:20
Like with Billy, what's Pumpkin's etiquette with him? You know, because of whatever his mood happens to be.
26:25
Exactly.
26:26
James is truly inscrutable to me.
