Congrats Howard!
Now you can chill with the family :)
I wouldn't look forward to the nappy(Diaper) changing though!

A cop with a CCIE.. now that is badass...
Congrats!
I kind of look like Bruce Willis in Die Hard 3 some days when he was all
dirty in a white shirt... just need my "detectives shield" and a glock
22 and I guess I could put my CCIE card on my waist!

Hi Howard,
Well done mate - I'm the guy you spoke to at the airport on Monday after
the lab, and two seats next to you at lunch during the lab ;-) I didn't
get it this time but hey, third time is a charm and this time the Jedi
will be on my side as I've rebooked for May the Fourth...be with you etc
Seriously well done and from what little time we spoke I know you're a
great guy and I wish you all the best with your new family! Also you can
walk into work with your head held high - I'll do the walk of
shame...again.
Best Regards
Rich

Hi All!
I've just returned home from sitting the lab in Brussels today, checked
my email (I really didn't want to check my email until my partner made
me :o) ) and followed the link to a page saying PASS
I can't believe it!! I came out of the lab earlier thinking I'd done the
best
I could and couldn't do anymore whilst in the back of my mind I was
preparing
for another lab attempt, I couldn't access my email until I got home and
my flight back to London wasn't until 9:30pm so I had to sit in the
airport for 3hrs and on the plane for an hour trying to count up how
many points I
thought
I'd lost :o)
This was my second attempt at the lab, my first was in San Jose last
November.
When I sat the exam for the first time there were a few topics I was
unsure of
and I ended up running out of time before finishing but thanks to the IE
workbooks (specifically the new QOS V5.0 which is amazing) I nailed them
this
time! and finished with a few hours for me to check through everything
again.....and again.
I was hoping I would pass the lab before April as my partner and I have
a baby
boy on the way!! and I wanted to be able to devote all of my attention
to both
of them during this time, despite her many hints we are not married yet
as I was also waiting to pass before I eventually thought I would be
'good
enough'
for her and able to offer her a better future so she's now in for a
surprise this valentines day :o) !!
I'd like to thank all of the IE team for all of their efforts in
developing the products that helped me (and others) pass, specifically
Anthony
Sequeira,
this guy is amazing and I apologize for bugging him with all of the
emails I sent asking for help. Also to everyone at groupstudy, I
couldn't have done this without you.
I'm sorry to go on and on but it's so great to finally get my chance to
send in a pass email :o)
Thanks for reading
Howard Hooper CCIE 23470 :o)
