Re: [Clarify Alumni] Clarify in the old days

Hey Andy,

You and I joined Clarify the same day. I still remember the two of
us in our orientation meeting with Jim Lukins. Would you believe I'm
still hanging in there at Clarify/Amdocs??

every day that you can go grab one of the comany founders and have
him help you troubleshoot code.  Bring your dog in to work every once
in a while - park your bike outside your cube - go to the lunch room
for some left overs from the training class and wash it down with a
free soda from the machine.  Have a question?  Pop your head over the
cube and ask Bonnie.  I learned a lot there!
