Work and exams

sobriqueI'm off work today, because I had an exam.
It was 'EMC Storage Technology Foundations'. I wasn't that fussed - it's one of these levels of exam that I _should_ have just been able to trundle through hungover and tired.
And it was. 85% (pass mark's 67) and all done in 40 minutes. (1:45 exam)
The only reason I signed up for it, was it's a prereq for another exam. (yay!)
Now, I don't think much of certifications, but apparantly there's some kind of supplier-vendor relationship which gets lubricated by bits of paper.
So, I'm now 'Associate' level certified, for doing a bit of paper that covers some very basic details of my professional area of expertise.
Woo woo, I feel special now.
Went to the gym afterwards, for a bit of exercise and lounging by the pool reading. (In that order). Nearly managed to row 2k in 8 minutes, but was a bit short of it. (8:10. Did 500m in <2m on 3/4 of them).
Oh well, nice lazy way to spend a day.
