Sorry all these sleep comments, and the previous 'complete' ccie lab stuff
have put me in the mood to compose something that will hopefully bring a
laugh to us crazy CCIE lab hopefuls.
These are for entertainment purposes only, and are not to be actually used
in a lab testing environment.
1. Give all your access-lists a meaningless remarks. Recommendations
include cartoon character names, funny jokes (probably clean ones would be
best).
2. Sneak in a crossover cable and try to break into someone else's pod.
3. Switch the lab books with another person during lunch.
4. During lunch, look for 'hints' scratched into the bathroom stalls.
5. If you finish in enough time, go get some coffee and sit down and
read the debug reference guide.
6. every 10 minutes go switch out documentation books. You will look
smart. Lol.
7. every 15 minutes go up to the proctor and ask him to explain the
simple pod algebra. X comes before Y unless Z is before I, or was it E?
8. about 30 minutes before the lab is over, walk up to the proctor and
tell him that you have tried everything but you just can't get the
terminal/telnet windows to open.
9. During lunch tell him that you are very happy, and that you are
done, and you were surprised the test was only 3 pages.
10. try and use the net send feature to harass the other ccie
candidates.
11. tell your proctor that your computer bluescreened again.
12. ask your proctor about why they don't use macintoshes
13. ask your proctor what that funny white footpedal is for.
14. when you mistype something in the ios, just use whiteout to fix it,
don't worry about retyping it.
15. complain they have everything wired wrong and start recabling your
pod.
16. set your phone to go off every 5 minutes so that you can keep track
of time. [this needs to be done before giving the phone to the proctor]
17. bring your own beer for the lab exam. I mean, as long as your not
the designated driver for the ospf. [think advanced cisco router
configuration]
18. If you use route-maps in the lab, make sure you do a route-map
<route-map-name> deny 10
Match tag 'murphy'
19. If you try filtering anything tagged by Murphy, bad news, tagging
only allows numbers, Murphy wins again.
20. When completing your first lab exam attempt, and you feel you were
on the line. Sit down, the line isn't where you thought it would bbe.
After your 2nd attempt if you feel you were closer to the line, you probably
did. After your 3rd attempt: You are getting good at taking the test, it's
the passing you have to work on.
21. If you see anything on the test that causes you to use a single
profane word, or a series of profane words: you should just skip it, and
hope you have time to figure it out later.
22. Get a hearing aid that can get am/fm radio stations, it will make
the time pass faster. Lol.
Please feel free to reply with other 'humors' lab antidotes.
