OK, so I took this certification exam, for work, back in November. It was a *really* hard exam--a lot of questions where there was more than one right answer, and you had to pick not just a correct answer, but the BEST correct answer. I had NO idea how I"d done, in the end. The envelope just came in the mail today--
I PASSED!!
Not only that, I got a 91%, and all you needed was a 70% to pass! Yeeeeeeeehaw!!!!!
I am now t meara's real name , CCRA!
Anyone got some of those job vibes just lying around doing nothing? After a considerable dry spell, I just had an interview that went really well, but now I have to get through a second round of interviews after the holidays. It's not my ideal job, largely because it's in Milwaukee rather than Chicago, but it would be a good job that I can do well, in what seems to be an office or really nice people. Also, they made me give them a salary ballpark, and said they didn't see a problem with what I came up with - I basically told them what I had been making, and that my prior job was non-exempt, without saying exactly how much overtime I worked (lots). I was kind of worried about this, because DC and Milwaukee market rates are pretty far apart, and I didn't want to price myself out of the market or take too much of a cut. So I'm really hoping this comes through.
Okay. I'm off. I'll be out of town through the 2nd, back online on a regular basis on the 3rd. Anybody needs me, e-mail me. Or poke shrift, and she'll e-mail me. (Considers the fact that she just invited the entire board to poke shrift. Runs away before shrift gets back.)
I don't post often but I'm overflowing with announciness, so forgive, please:
My nephew, Dominic, was born on Dec 24th. 7 lbs, 7 oz, about 18 days early. (He just decided he was done cooking, I guess.)
I'd arrived about 10 hours earlier, meeting SIL for the first time.
My little brother is schmoopy happy. So are we.
I've just applied for a job that would constitute a major improvement in my life. Please send Buffista jobma vibes my way.
Thanks
Gar
