99%

i passed my exam today. i went to the test centre at lunchtime to do it. when i went down to reception to sign in the guy there recognised me from 2 years ago when i did a cisco course there. how bizarre.
anyways i had studied hard for the exam and blitzed through it in about 25 minutes and i got 99% on my score. i was very pleased but i had studied really hard and so it would have been bad if i had failed. i really can't think of any more i could have possibly done to prepare. it means i am officially a VMware VCP and i don't know too many of them, in fact i don't know a single one.
I will wait a couple of days for my welcome pack and then update my CV and put the logo on it before i fire it out for jobs in the new year. will see if i can join a team that is doing interesting things with it. its a hot technology right now so i am hopeful.

i am also going to study for the windows 2008 MCSE upgrade exam and am looking to take it at the beginning of january. once that is out of the way i can relax a little and just do a normal level of reading and studying with out having the pressure of getting myself exam-ready. anyway tonight i think i won't do any study. a night off is due i think. will get back to it this weekend.

only 6 more days of work left at the bank after today and then its a brave new world come january 1st.

today i have mostly been listening to angels and airwaves - call to arms.

take care. don't work too hard. no one else is. :-)
