"I Bring You Tidings of Great Joy"
or The Computer Messiah Cometh
I'd like to take this opportunity to offer one small proof of how much I rule.
While working with my right hand man Christian to replace several stolen DVD players in a couple classrooms on the second floor of Marian Hall, we found that one of the rooms that was supposed to be empty actually had a class in it. When the professor came out to see who was knocking, he looked at me and said "You are Joshua!" I was surprised, because I hadn't had him since...spring of freshman year, I believe. (1)
Later, after much random (but always interesting, I'll give him that) talk and diagnosing a little problem with his Mac (2), he turned to me by way of parting and said "I was thrilled to learn that you were returning this year." I was confused, so I asked him if he meant returning to class with him this spring. He said "No, no, this August. Ed [Ed Bailey, Computer Services' network/email guru] could probably pull up the email. Very excited." I was still surprised. My return was heralded by an email? Whoa. I can see it now...
Ahhh...yes, exactly like that, I'll bet. I amaze myself.
(1) - He went on later to further surprise me by blurting "Holewczynski" out of nowhere, pronouncing it perfectly. I have near-in-laws who can't even do that yet.
(2) - The problem was the fact that he's using a Mac in the first place.

Re: The Computer Messiah Cometh!
Fear not! I bring you all good tidings of great joy, which will be for all departments! For unto you arrives this day, in the dorm of St. Francis, our savior, who is our Student Technology Manager Joshua Holewczynski! And this shall be a sign unto you: Ye shall find the man carrying a cell phone from the college and many keys...
Ahhh...yes, exactly like that, I'll bet. I amaze myself.
