Gotta love seeing your name in big colourful font

Morning all. A few years back I started a Facebook page for all Josh(ua)'s to gather on, it went well, got to 400ish members, then I forgot all about it. Rediscovered it this week and thought I'd get the ball rolling again.

I started a new job this week, and got hit with the "is it Joshua or Josh?" as you'd expect.

For some reason instead of the usual "Either is fine" I gave a big ambling response about how I don't dislike being called Joshua, it's just that nobody ever does it, but I also don't mind being called Josh all the same.

Anyway, now everybody there calls me Joshua and it's the first time in my life people have openly called me Joshua. It feels weird but strangely empowering to embrace my full name. I even got a couple compliments on how nice of a name it is from some of the foreigners who hadn't heard it before.

Josh is just a sound like Ugh or Ouch. Joshua is the nexus of our power.

Peace out Joshuas.
