Fairly Symmetrical
One down, more to go

I took the first of several tests for my Microsoft Certified Solution Developer certification today... 70-306: Developing Windows Forms Applications With Visual Basic .Net. I am pleased to report that I passed with flying colors. :)
Work is actually characterized by this annoying schism right now. Parts of work (perhaps not coincidentally, those parts characterized by heavy usage of .Net and new development) are going swimmingly well and are lots of fun. Other parts (notably the "simple" upgrade of a previous project which has since turned into a 3-week marathon of hellishly bad VB6 code, shockingly wrong documentation, &c) are not so much fun. But hey, I only worked 47 hours last week! (On the other other hand, I've worked 18.5 already this week... and am going to Phoenix all day Thursday.)
C'est la vie, though, I suppose.

Congratulations on the certification! Hope the work slows down a bit.. I think we're finally slowing down the travel and cutting back a bit. At least for now. This summer looks to be pretty interesting though!
One thing about my job, they're not at all shy about buying me reference materials, sending me to get certifications, whatever I want. Of course, given how much I work it can be difficult to get the free time to take those cert tests. :-P
What's going on this summer? Or is it Super Top Secret? ;)
Are part of your summer plans coming to visit us Sandy? :)
this summer we're gearing up for our two new sites overseas, which open at the end of the year. Have passport, will travel!! :) Visits are going to depend on my work schedule, but I've never been to Austin, and I hear it's pretty nice!
