i'm well aware that president vanderheyden is a busy man. he and i have wildly differing views on a number of college issues, but i put that aside. i have met the man numerous times during my years here, but every single time i have an encounter with him, the same thing occurs:
marc: "hello. and you are..."
me: "hello, i'm v."
marc: "hello v. my name is marc."
me: *biting lip to keep from saying "thank you captain obvious..."*

i had to stop by his office to give him a new mouse for his laptop. all i needed to do was unplug the old mouse and plug it back in. was i really necessary for that? did he find the "mouse trainer" comment humorous? ponder those questions while i roam the campus working on inventory.
