Congrats!!
I think Rahul has a pretty good handle of one of the physiological changes
that occurs to CCIE candidates. From his blog:
"Once you fail CCIE lab, life starts to suck more and more. You start to
verify everything twice just to make sure you didn't violate any
requirement. Even leaving home isn't the same. You keep wondering, 'Did I
lock the back door? Did I leave the fridge open?' and it keeps getting
worse."
Couldn't be any more true!
