Many of you might not be aware of this, but I don’t have a college education, nor do I have any kind of formal technology training. In fact, about the only kind of training I have is for operating a forklift and training. It’s one of those things I’ve been meaning to change, but have never gotten around to doing.
So I started thinking that now would be a pretty good time to do that, seeing how I have a little bit of extra time. It would be nice to have a certificate or two in my quiver and on my resume. Of course, a little bit of class time wouldn’t be such a bad thing either.
Then I start checking prices. Almost every place I checked it costs almost US$10,000 to take the classes and the tests to become a certified Microsoft engineer (MCSE). Holy crap. That’s more than a little out of my budget. Hell, just taking the required tests would drive me even further into the poor house than I am right now.
Still, it’s something I want to do, so it’s time to do some research. I’m pretty good at self educating, so I should be able to handle getting this task done on my own. While the tests are expensive, it’s still cheaper than test + instruction time.
It’s a good thing Google is my friend.
Welcome to the final Tuesday Rush for September. Have a great week!
Today was the day I got to ’shadow’ teh lad during a normal school day. It was pretty cool, as it usually is, and provided me with another glimpse at what a typical day in the life of a modern day high school student is like. Very interesting, to say the least.
Click the photo above to see more that I snapped, including some rare, never before seen shots of the lad doing actual work! Go back and read the twitter for the complete play-by-play, including a Spanish class sing-along!
You know, I got a haircut. I think I was abducted by aliens as well.
Out of nowhere, for the past 2 weeks, I have actually been busy. Like 3 calls a day busy. Been nice for a change. Here is a short list of things that have happened.
- I saw 240lbs on my scale, which made me happy.
- New Sin City MINI Club website is almost done
- I helped Nathaniel move his Wordpress to a new server. Yes, Site5 was involved.
- Repurposed the donburnside.com theme again.
- I’ve been posting quite a bit at dbmini, my motoring blog. If you are interested in what’s been going on with my MINI, click on over. Oh, and buy a badge.
- Made a video on how to check your oil.
- Made a new episode of the w(t)f video hour that will be showing up here shortly.
I’m working another busy week. Besides service/sales calls, my resume is currently bouncing around an office someplace in OC, and I’m quite happy about that. I hope it generates an interview this time around.
