Ok, so as some of you may know, I've been working as a Senior Systems Engineer - and network admin, etc. - for a long time now. But up until now my only real certification (due to lack of money) was A+, which is a bit of a joke but was required for some contract I did back in 2001.
Now I am - as of yesterday - Microsoft Certified. It's just an MCP, no big deal, but I was very stressed because I hadn't actually taken any MS tests before.
Well, now apparently I'm certified to "Manage and Maintain Windows Server 2003" or some such rubbish.
It was, blessedly, easy.
Ok, that is all. Again, I know it's no big deal, lots of people have their MCSE's. Hell, the guy we have answering the phone - who is in training to be an Anglican Minister - has his MCSE but can't figure out how to add a new user! But it makes a big difference in my potential pay grade for any jobs I might be considering. So I suppose it's $100 well spent.
