I've heard them called "Influencers", "Foundation Saints", "Elders", "Deacons" and a ton of other things.
What about "that IT guy"?

They'll have to add a new category to the poll if you get the job!

Pray for me, Bro. It's just a "tech librarian" type of thing - storage analyst, but it's interesting. My biggest grief is how much weight they'll put into the telephone communication responsibilities. I'd love to just communicate through email and chats only.

From what I've seen of your posts, they need you in the library for sure and will certainly benefit from you're being there!

The "library" is actually a robot. It's a SAN library containing countless amounts of uninteresting data related to Catholic hospitals and their finances and medical records.

I have the admittedly undeserved privilege of being pastor of the First Church of Brad.

Frankly, I don't feel worthy, but the congregation seems to always support me in whatever decision I make. They are good people and I'm very blessed.
