I agree with Tyrone, great job jumping in and trying to gather the info any way that you can so that you turn out the best work possible with what you know.
When I first became a CWI, I was thrust into a QC mgr. position way before I was ready because the guy who was to mentor me along and give me some guidance went on to be with the Lord before he had a chance to share any of that knowledge. I relied heavily on the members here in the forum and was appreciative of the answers to my many questions. I'm sure my questions seemed silly to some, but they took the time to help me along anyway.
