Well I guess it is my turn this time. One my 3rd attempt in RTP this
Tuesday with Alan Lanier as proctor I was fortunate enough to earn the CCIE
#7145. Alan is a fine proctor who knows what it means to be a CCIE. Also
unlike some proctors you get a more detailed explanation of your results.
Not to say you get the answers but you know were you need to work if you do
not make it.
The stress waiting for the final grade was unbearable. I just knew I ha
d
failed it again by a few points...All in all my experience is not unlike any
other you may read about on this list. 9 months of study between work,
family, and customers plus 3 tries at the lab it is now done. (It feels like
a weight has come off my shoulders) I have been reflecting as so many on
what I'm going to do with my time now??? CCIE Security comes out this summer
barring global meltdown, maybe my boss will let me do that one but my
wife???
I would like to thank my wonderful wife Janine and my daughter Sydney
for putting up with me, especially the last few days before this attempt. .
Also I would like to thank my boss Glenn at SBC for all the help and
understanding, without it I probably would still be studying for the lab. I
guess I cannot use studying late as an excuse for not making the monthly
engineers meeting anymore... I also would like to thank the many list
members who work together to help each other in the pursuit of CCIE.
Especially Dana S., Pavel R. (Pavel and Dana you are the reason I'm here). I
will stay on the list and try to help from time to time but right now I have
some family business to take care of like I promised my wife I would after
finishing this endeavor :)
Good luck to all.
