abarbarian Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Think like a computer nerd. Impossible for a barbarian. I guessed it was your test results. Though how you managed a lowly 20% is beyond me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V.T. Eric Layton Posted April 30, 2013 Author Share Posted April 30, 2013 No. Actually, it's an ascii message written here in hexadecimal. Geeky, huh? Oddly enough, though... if I don't heed the advice of this message, I could very well score a 20% on that next exam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V.T. Eric Layton Posted May 1, 2013 Author Share Posted May 1, 2013 It says, "I really should be studying." And after scoring a 400 (passing is 804) on a sample exam I just took a few minutes ago, I'd have to agree. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amenditman Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 After you've prepared to the point of exhaustion, head exploding, etc. A bit of rest and relaxation is good for test prep. So, study, study, study, for weeks if necessary. Then take a break and don't even think about it for two or three days. Then walk into your exam relaxed and confident that you've done all you can. Ace it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V.T. Eric Layton Posted May 20, 2013 Author Share Posted May 20, 2013 OK, tomorrow's the big day... the day when I have to reschedule my ICND2 exam again. The big dilemma is for how long should I postpone it? 30 days again? 60? 90? Forever? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abarbarian Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 (edited) How 'bout an update, Eric. Enquiring minds A bunch of busy body, know it alls want to know. Yaeh we are all on tenderhooks here. “The time has come The walrus said To talk of many things: Of shoes- and ships- And sealing wax- Of cabbages and kings- And why the sae is boiling hot- And whether pigs have wings.” Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland Edited July 25, 2013 by abarbarian 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V.T. Eric Layton Posted July 25, 2013 Author Share Posted July 25, 2013 UPDATE: The dream is over. Reality had blanked it completely. There are no jobs in this field in my area. No one is hiring full time. No one is hiring anyone over 45 years old. Ebbity-ebbity-ebbity... That's all, folks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
