Nine! Nine wonderful certifications! Ha! Ha! Haaaa!

[c9]

I just discovered that I have another certification I didn't even know I had. It's ridiculous. For those just joining us, here is the full complement:

A+
Network+
i-Net+
Security+
Linux+
HDA (Help Desk Analyst)
MCSA (Microsoft Certified System Administrator)
Master [Oops! --Cam] CIW Security Analyst (this is the surprise one)
CIW Certified Instructor

...and on October 4th or so, MCT (Microsoft Certified Trainer). I could get it today, but it would expire September 30th, so there's not much point.

This is the silliness that happens when you train for a living. :)

Was the ninth certification playing hide-and-seek with you?

I knew that I was in the running for it, months ago, but this morning is when I remembered and checked to see if I had the requirements yet. Turns out I do!

What should we do to celebrate?

Is there a deal where if you get ten, then the eleventh is free?

Ha! That would be nice. Except PB has paid for almost all of them, so I really can't demand anything free from them. And Microsoft is not in the business of giving things away for free. Well, yes they are I suppose. Just not exams.

Celebration by installing light fixtures, of course!

What's up with all of the plus signs?

That's what CompTIA (Computing Technology Industry Association) does with their certification names. They bought a certification a few years back (IT Project Management) and renamed it IT-Project+. Now I think it's just Project+. Just a gimmick.
