Gongratulations Christian and reading through this email about the cops I
was so tense reading this email at that time that I was doing a faster
reading just to see the end of this story... have you consider yourself a
writer? In case you write one that me know and I'll buy one.. just kidding
Bye,
Andy

>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,
