What's on your plate?

[Anastasia]

I cast Life 2 on this topic yet again.

Um, Super Bowl cleanup today, as well as recovery. Helluva party, even if I'm still half feeling it.  Past that, I'm playing Breath of Fire 2 on the GBA. It rocks, even with the bad translation. Enjoyment is upped by an increased money and EXP payout rate, so levelling up is speedier. It's still slow by modern standards, but it's not that bad at all.

Moreso if you've played the game and know how to break it wide open at midgame.

I'm working, adding high scores menu and level music for my game, waiting to talk with a professor.

I'm slowly recovering my house (living room complete) from the situation I was in a month ago.

My roomate has pnemonia, my job is difficult thanks to continual server outage, and ... I'm having a hard time keeping up on all the games I'm part of. -_-

[Dracos]

*pats*

Owie. :\

Damn, condolences Brian. That blows.

EDIT: Gah, wrong topic for the rest. Mental slipperu!

[Dracos]

Today I have to listen to wozny.  Then take a quiz.  Then run a sig/sys study group for four hours.  then I get to continue trying to recover from being weeks behind in proglang.

Well, I post now because I don't read stuff often.  I'm a very bad person, I know.

I got my ass promoted again.  They seem to like me for some reason, I dunno.  But that means too much work.  I took my only sick day ever this week and I'm still in OT.

... and somehow I'm supposed to find time to work on a contract I've had on the back burner for almost a year.  *sigh*.

Aah well.  I'm going out for a second date with an absolutely lovely (and drop-dead gorgeous) woman tonight, so at least some things are peaches. :)

Shopping around for a new bike, too.  It turns out the one I want qualifies as "classic" now, which means it's real hard to find.  There's *one* for sale in Ontario.  Unfortunately, it's entirely the wrong time of year to be riding a motorcycle home for 10 hours.

That's probably more than any of you actually wanted to read, and I've mentioned it all in chat, but it was kinda fun to write it all in here so nyah!

I'll quit boring you all now, though, and return you to your regular... something.  I'm pretty sure something on here is regular.

I just spent the last two hours with two hot girls on either side of me discussing gaming with a New York Times reporter.  Either I'm about to be smited dead or life is good.  I think the latter.

He's only a pimp if he sells his good fortune, this qualifies as STUD Dracos.

First of all, congrats to odin and Dracos.

Secondly, a update from my last post. Comments are in blue

Let's see, stuff on my plate.

Well, I'm planning on doing some uber certification work in the upcoming months. Definitely on the plate are MS exams 70-272, 70-218, A+ Core Software, A+ Core hardware. I'm taking one every Tuesday for the next 4 weeks. If I pass all of those, I'll have like 7 computer certifications.

Woo. I passed all of those! Hotcha! Now I have like 7 computer certifications. ^_^

Then mid January, I have to choose to either go for the Cisco CCNA certification, or to focus on obtaining the Windows XP MCSE. Just depends on order. Then who knows. Possibly the Server+ and Security+ certification. Maybe some SQL certifications, branch out and specialize, you know.

Right now, I finished my Six Sigma Green Belt training and test last weekend, and currently I'm working on the Security+ certification. Planning on getting that in 2.5 weeks.

The thing that really really sucks with these exams is that I have to pass, or I lose 125 bucks. They only reemburse the ones that I pass.

This is still the case.

Still working at American Express, it's nice, since I got a promotion recently and the yearly raise, which is pretty cool.

Three words. Tax season sucks. I'm busier than hell.

Still going to online classes at University of Phoenix. They're a pain, but on the positive side, I've learned to type a 1054 word college level paper in 41 minutes. Had to ice my fingers after that one.

Still going to classes. Been getting As, so that's ok. But it's boring and a lot of work.

Still doing client work and consulting, but it's tapered off so far.

Damn you client work! Why must you torment my life so. Consulting has picked up to the point where I don't have a free evening for the next 7 days.

I'm eventually planning on moving out, and need to do a detailed look at my finances for the upcoming year, balance what I make with my expenses, like college.

Still planning on moving out, but I want to get my tax refund first.

But other than those mondo heaps of stress, life goes well.

Still mondo heaps of stress. Life still goes well.

Dracos

Wow.  That rocks.  Hard.

[odin]

Going to classes, Ranma?

My condolences!

I know the feeling with the consulting.  I'm gonig on a year working on a contract that was supposed to take three months.

Thankfully the place I'm working on it for is in no real rush.
