I bet it will not be long!
I love how you put "Expert" in quotes. One of my pet peeves is the fact
that term is used in the CCIE title. I tell people I am a Cisco
Certified Internetwork Engineer - not Expert.
While the title is silly - I sure hope that I can help you achieve it!

Not yet, but I think it will not be very long now.
I still don't feel like the "Expert" just yet, but I
think I have learned quite a few tricks along the way.
I'm not sure one ever feels like they know quite
everything at this point. I have heard many say as
much.
But I am fairly competent on the networks than I
manage and can function day-to-day easily doing my job
related tasks with a lot of help of or digging for
resources.
I guess that is where I really wanted to be when I
started.
I have a lab scheduled for May 22nd.
But I plan to continue my learning even after I pass.
