Hey all,
PHEW!!!! Pressure is off for a bit!
I passed my CCNP routing test with a 933. Not the highest score in the class, but the others had a little help.
I was one of the first 5 people in the test center, and the first one out. I came out of the test ~30 minutes after I started. We get 2 hrs to take the test. Some of the people thought I had a problem with the computer. When they came out they said, "DAMN!"
There were a few questions on the test that nobody expected, while I didn't share the 'actual' question, I was able to share enough so that some other people did better.
With the pressure off today, I came back to the room and crashed from 2-7 pm. Some of the guys came and got me, we sat out by the pool for a while and then went out to eat. Got to relax a bit, at least until tomorrow.
So now, with the levity. Anyone who knows me KNOWS I am not the stereotypical computer guy. I usually am the outspoken, to the point, and most of the time an offensive loudmouth who seems to always bring a gallon of fun to the party. I usually tell people that if I have offended them, "I am sorry!" and if I haven't offended you yet it is coming. :)
I have been getting a lot of teasing this boot camp. More than typical. Some of the old nicknames came up but I have some new nicknames too. Trust me, I give it right back. So far, none of the nicknames have really stuck yet, but there is always tomorrow. Still, I can lay my certificate on the table and say, "Beat that." :D
5 people didn't pass the test today, and these are guys who ONLY do this stuff. Day after day, they sit on a bunch of routers and switches and just configure, update, and manipulate packets. Feels pretty good to know, as one person said, "You got some serious skills, Rainman!" Yep, my metric is 100000 10 255 100 1500. :) (Trust me, that is funny)
