A Heartstopper, Yet I Made it...

Six Down, One to go

Today was a squeaker. The range of scores is 700 to pass with a max of 1000, I shot under the wire with a score of 747.

One more exam for MCSE...

Then one more for the Security Endorsement.

Then I plan to go shopping at What's Up Hobbies. I will have earned a little retail therapy.

Trying to decide...

Spike or Raven

Any thoughts?

5 Down, 3 to go....

Finished up 70-293 - some sort of drivel about Active Directory

They have stuffed so much of this stuff into me my eyes are bulging.

I'm impressed by anybody that has the patience and focus to get a MCSE, I had such aspirations back in the day (when it would have been MUCH easier). Fortunately my career took other directions.
