>> Dear Friends on Groupstudy,
>>
>> What a day I had yesterday. When I went to RTP yesterday to take the
>> lab,
>> I didn't quite get off to a great start. I wasn't able to sleep that
>> great
>> and I was running late in the morning and ended up getting there about 5
>> minutes late. About 15 minutes later, the proctor comes out and lets me
>> in. Despite, however, getting off to a late start, I made good progress
>> on
>> the lab and ended up with about an hour and a half to verify and check
>> my
>> configs. I felt confident, but I had been confident before and ended up
>> failing.
>>
>> I had a late flight back to JFK so on my drive home I decided to stop by
>> my
>> office and check my email and see if I had any email. I didn't, so
>> after
>> leaving my office, just a few miles down the road, I get pulled over.
>> Now
>> I was not in the greatest neighborhood and was a bit freaked out because
>> it
>> was dark, the car was unmarked and two officers, not in uniform came
>> out.
>> The cop asked for my license and for me to step out of the car. Then he
>> asks me where I'm coming from. I told him I just got in from JFK and
>> stopped by my office to check my email. He looked at me like I had two
>> heads and said you stopped by your office at this time of night to check
>> your email? By now I figure these guys are probably narcotics police,
>> and
>> he's not buying my story. So I start to explain that I just came for
>> North
>> Carolina and took a really difficult certification and was checking my
>> email to see if I received my score. After asking for my work ID, he
>> sent
>> me back to my car. A few minutes later he hands me my license and ID
>> and
>> tells me that I was speeding and that I should slow down and have a good
>> night.
>>
>> When I got home, still no score report, so I had a beer and went to
>> sleep.
>> When I got up this morning, there the email was. It was the same email
>> I
>> got when I failed, so I'm starting think that I failed this time too. I
>> logged onto the site and almost jumped through the roof when I saw that
>> I
>> passed. My wife was thrilled too. Not so much because I am a CCIE now,
>> but because I get finally finish all those projects around the house
>> that I
>> started, but had not finished because I needed time to study. So I've
>> got
>> to either come up with another really good excuse, or get to that long
>> honey-do list.
>>
>> Anyway, I just thought I would share that. I know I have not posted a
>> lot
>> to the group, but I have read every posting and I have really learned a
>> lot. Thank you!!
>>
>> Cheers,
