So I'm going to skip the first 6 months I knew Rita because they weren't very pretty. Like at all. I'll fast forward to after we became cool.
I can personally attest to much of my Director knowledge being only so knowledgeable due to Rita's presence and ingenuity. When I was promoted to such a rank, I had to learn a lot of stuff on the fly. My main resource was Rita, due his activity and our new patched up working status. He provided a lot of adversity to the current things that were happening. Between being on super late at night and active as well during the morning and mid afternoon he was super easy to catch up with. Being on Speed Dial for the community was tough and very few during the time were accomplishing it; but Rita was the best of both worlds. He could spend accurate amounts of time nestled among the BoD during crucial discussions as well as being active (problem and game wise) with the divisions who needed help. This diversity was unique and provided a lot of people with support for all of their endeavors, including myself. The bond between us became very strong as I fought to establish my own leadership.
Aside from Clan Ops Rita also took the road less traveled by and brought back Marketing. With the plans in mind to reboot the department and let it grow it sustained very quickly. This endeavor has allowed things like the "Div Cup" to flourish with a stable support group. This helps KSI's diversity and member enrichment overall by increasing participation.
There's more to say, but my mind stopped working. I may come back and edit this if I remember more stuff.
