Thanks!

Thanks to everyone who either left a comment or posted on their own blog their congrats for passing the A+ exams. It may not seem like such a big deal to some of the ubergeeks out there who passed theirs years ago, but it was an important first step in spiffing up my resume and getting it looking better for the job search, so there was some pressure in that regard. (And it’s been years since I had to prepare for a test, so that left quite a bit of uncertainty as well.)

Regardless, it felt good to accomplish exactly what I set out to do, and it feels even better to be done with it! Now I can move on to other things, which I haven’t felt free to do for weeks now as I prepared for the tests. First order of business is catching up emails that I’ve been meaning to write and reading blogs that I normally read much more frequently. I gotta go see what you all have been up to lately. 🙂

Well no, that would be second order of business, the first was spending time with Angela last night and making sure I thanked her for being understanding and supportive during the last few weeks of watching her husband blow off everything to make sure he studied enough. But, like I said, that has been done, and now that I’m back in the office, and have some reports to run, I can always run those in the background while I catch up tech news and blog reading. (Oh the power of the 2.4Ghz/512MB of RAM! I actually get work done all day while I’m doing other stuff. It’s almost like being in two places at the same time. *L*)

More later…

    Linked – Looking for a Job While the World is Falling Apart

    The advice in the article below might seem familiar. I’ve seen plenty of advice on the topic of how to keep moving in life during difficult times over the last few years. Things like turning off the news, keeping to a normal routine, etc. What I like about this article is that it acknowledges the elephant in the room that typical advice doesn’t when you’re not working.

    “Many people are in a job search and have to keep the quest moving regardless of world events.”

    Therein lies the rub. The difference between being informed and being overwhelmed often comes down to being able to turn the news off, set boundaries around our social media use, and so on. But it can be especially difficult to do that when your day isn’t filled with things you have to do.

    I’ve been a little busy this morning, but not so much that I haven’t seen the buzz generated by the release of MSN Spaces, Microsoft’s new blogging service.
