    Post OH YEAH!!! THE DAY HAS COME!!!!

    I have been trying and trying and trying... lately I have been unemployeed for a month. It looked as if I was about to give up. I had put a post up venting about it. If it wasnt one interview where it seemed as if I had it in the bag and it gets swiped out from under my feet by someone who "has MCSE but doesnt have near the experience that you do" <---- was quoted by the guy who interviewed me.

    Well... the day has come.

    Today, I was offered a position in a very successful information systems company that have been around for the last 25 years. They handle the accounts for one of the TWO MAJOR HUGE colleges in the state of Michigan.

    Yes, I finally got the technician job I have been trying so hard to get. <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">

    I am also sporting a new avatar too. I just noticed a few days ago that Scott had it put up. <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">
    If it aint broke, TWEAK it!
    When in doubt, throw it out!!

    I won the bet. I am thinking that we will either hit Red Lobster or Joes Crab Shack next month.

    You GO, Taz!

    It's always encouraging to hear this type of feedback for us techs that chose not to (or could not) get certified everytime Micro$oft pulls out new products or curriculum.

    Let us know how it goes.

    PS Congrats on winning that bet with your wife. I'm sure it wasn't easy, but when you keep focused on your reward... <IMG SRC="smilies/wink.gif" border="0">
