File #: A2029BD Service Manager - Oil & Gas Industry Calgary

Answer is: Flathead, Robertson, Phillips, Chuck, Monkey...

Question is: What the first names of our Service Manager's children are? (Four are males, one is a little wrench!)

Actually, the first names could be more like Glued to Ear (as in telephone), Mister Problem Solver, Thick Skinned, Butt Kicker, We'll Be There Shortly, Let Me Get On It, It'll Be Up And Running Better Than New, Jack of All Trades, Sleep - What Sleep?....You get the idea! You're living the Service Manager life right now in the Oil & Gas business or in a mechanically-oriented commercial environment. You're loving every minute of it... but...you'd rather love it at another company! Maybe we should talk...
