Dave Is In The House!
We were at church today, and I was doing my usual “space out during the mass” when I heard a “THUD!” come from the front of the church and the whole congregation let out a collective gasp. I saw a couple of the alter servers huddled near the altar, and then the priest said, “It seems like we have a medical problem up here. If there is anyone out there who is part of the medical profession, can you please come up and see if you can help? There’s no need to panic, everyone, it’s a hot day and on warm days things like this are common.” Then he went on with mass like nothing happened.
Dave went up to the front of the church, as did several other people. It turns out that one of the young altar servers fainted. It was a hot day and Dave said it was especially hot in the front of the church. The doctors who came up checked on the girl and she came around and was wheeled out on a wheelchair and into the ambulance that came. Of course, the people in the congregation were only half listening to the priest and trying to see what was going on with the girl.
I’ve been waiting for this day to happen, the day when someone cries out, “Is there a doctor in the house?” Dave would stand up and proudly say, “Why yes, I’m a doctor” and save the day. It was a bit different from what I expected, and Dave wasn’t the only doctor who helped, but it was cool nonetheless.
I’m still waiting for the day when someone yells out, “Is there a Crystal Report writer in the house?”, “I need someone who knows how to construct a SQL query!” or “Is there anyone out there who is handy with HTML or CSS?” I’d come out with my supergeek cape flying, and yes, it would be glorious!
Su-per Ya-nooooo! *whoosh!*
That’s cool that Dave was able to help, and I’m glad the girl was okay. How funny that the priest continued the service like nothing happened. I guess that was the best thing to do, since there were medical professionals available. I wonder what he would have done if no one came forward to help. I supposed he would have stopped then and tried to help himself. Worse case scenario he could have called the ambulance himself.
Someday that priest may need help with the HTML for the church website and he just might call for a supergeek. You never know.
make sure you don’t forget neon pink goggles for your costume… it protects your eyes from computer screen glare!
hahahhahaha!!!

ROFL
If someone yells for technical support on the day of Claudine’s wedding, I will be the first one to ignore the call. What people would be doing looking for an IT consultant at church and asking for FREE consulting help is sinful.
I’m yelling for techinical support. I can no longer reach the Trivia game through my office computer! Darn the gorvenment. Sure that’s not some sorta terrist site Yano?
