Chuffed...

I have been reading lots of books and material to be a Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP), one of the coveted credentials one needs to move around in the security circles per say.

This morning while eating mybreakfast cereal I checked email - well actually - I was sat at the 'ol computer and as I use GMail I had the taskbar app installed to let me know when an email comes in...

Well, you know that real odd feeling, that you get when your boss says can I have a word and it late on a Friday night - what do they call that ... anticipation ... or some other @$&* puckering bodily function. Oh yes, that is what I did when I saw the title of the email and not the rest of the text.

I saw the title blinking at me like a belisha beacon and thought should I... shouldn't I... I'll let you know on my first attempt at this exam, I missed the pass mark by 10points, that's close for a 6hr 250question hand written answer exam.

I opened the email and scanned the mail for 'you have failed..' and saw 'Congratulations..' woohoo!! I went, and it still raining outside but you know I feel way better for passing :)
