Man…. it feels great to make the step to move forward and improve on your knowledge and broaden your skill set for work. I think however over the next 6 weeks im going to go mad. The picture here is only the beginning course book with a little helper language book sitting next to my newest best friend, my coffee mug. Ive decided to take classes to obtain my DBA (Database Administrator) certifications. The courses for this certification have kind of changed since I first looked at them years ago. Its no longer a “MCDBA” (mc=microsoft certified…. after going to my first class, it should stand for “mentally certifiable”) its now MCITP: sql server 2005 and MCTS: database administrator. 1 test for the first and two for the second – Three tests to call myself a DBA at this point. With all the recent Asp.Net work I’ve been getting into it just seemed right. Most of the work I’ve done up until now has been either desktop support / laptop and desktop repair or web design and development… network and DB administration is next step. After the first few classes I’ve taken, I think probably around the second week or so I’m going to be a space case. IF any one strikes a convo with me and somewhere in the middle I start to rattle off SELECT statements, just slap me!
Another note, my bday is March 4th which is next Tuesday and I have no idea what I want to do. There are plans for djing on march 7th and djing the Friday AND Saturday for the next week but this week, PRIOR to my actual bday should be the party time. I just don’t know what to do though. I still have my wish list up from xmas with a few new adds so its a present idea list for those interested but honestly, I’m kind of at a loss for anything else. I wish you could give TIME as a gift. I could use about an extra 8-10 hours a week to catch on mid-day naps, seems thats when I sleep the best. That’s awfully Vampire-like of me?$@#
