Brain Freeze



Not the kind you are used to but similar. My head is so full of data that I don't think it will hold one more slice. It is chock full of information I will rarely apply in my job and most likely will forget in a few weeks. That is not to say that I won't apply certain things on my own personal box because I will - I have learned things, had AHA! moments that have me itching to apply to my PC. And I will have another string of acronyms to tack onto my business card (if I used it) plus two shiny certificates to pin on my wall.

Microsoft does not make it easy to earn these certs. Luckily one can be a C student and still earn it. I've been cramming to learn and let's face it, I've been memorizing a few things that I know I will not remember later. Anyone ever see a chart about networking, subnets, hosts and IP ranges? Yeah...it boggles the mind...or my mind at least.

So. Exam today at 2PM. Exam on Friday at 11AM. Have to pass both. Or retake. No one has addressed the issue of "what if I don't pass a second or third time?" I know what the answer was six years ago when I got my XP cert...

    Thanks everyone! It turns out the luck was put to good use and I passed the first (and more difficult) exam. One of my colleagues aced it and scored 1000. I was...shocked to say the least.

    So one more tomorrow...keep sending the good luck my way please?

In Perfect Harmony

In June of 2007 I posted my first chapter of Dark December. Since that time, the story has evolved and changed in part through a collaboration that developed and lasted over 4 years. During this time a friendship was forged. Thank you Beth, for unwavering friendship, support, and generosity over these last 4+ years. It has been a journey I will never forget.

"Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass, it's about learning to dance in the rain."

In dreams, the sun sets in our eyes
In dreams, we'll never be apart
In dreams, I'll promise you'll never be alone
How much I wish your voice could send me home
