WOW! an update?
A lots happened since my last post, I passed my 70-290 vendor exam and have almost completely finished school, well technically I am done with my classes, but I have yet to "take and pass" the 70-291 vendor exam, this ones a hard bastard, I failed it once already, so my wallets gonna take another big hit on account of that. So most of my time lately is spent fretting and worrying over the issue of passing this son of a bitch test, and studying for it to which I must say I find very hard to do, given my attention span.
I have started my internship as well, so I have a job now,but I don't get paid.
I am getting valuable hands on experience though, so that counts for something I guess. The place I work at is a non-profit organization called "Handy-capable Networks." I spend my days there getting old computers in working condition again so that we can give them to institutions that deal with the poor and handicap people, I actually work with a few handicap people too, I gotta say I am very impressed by what some of them are capable of, I will openly admit that there are some there that are waay more skilled than me concerning computer repair, though that's not saying alot ,because I am really not that skilled.
On a lighter note I am still hopelessly addicted to paintball, about two weeks ago we had a really big game, with more people than we have ever had at our private little field, and it was one of my funnest moments in paintball, and because of that day we may have gotten a few more regulars for our weekly game.
There was one thing about this game that I found to be extremely stressful though, and that was the fact that I had to play the role of the coordinator.
For a whole week before the big game I was constantly having to call people and make sure they were coming and what they were bringing, tell them what they needed to bring, and buy, I had to make sure everybody new the rules, and how to play, I had to write out a list of things that people didn't have then make a list of what we had spares of so we could allocate them to the people that where lacking. By game day I was pretty much In a "FUCK IT" state of mind
I made an announcement to all involved that the next time each player would be responsible for procuring his or her own gear,ammo, and air. and this time around if you find that your are lacking a necessary piece of equipment than you were S.O.L.(Shit Out of Luck). I will say it wouldn't have been half as bad if a could of had a confirmed head count from day one, but there were always people canceling and then changing there mind only to cancel again and someone else would be offered the open position, and the person would suddenly want to play again now that we filled there slot...its a recipe for drama
Anyway game day arrives and it went smooth as it possibly could have,( there were concerns about some of the players attitudes toward a certain other party that was present that day, but it all went well) I ceased my role of coordinator and let my friend kevin take over the Administration portion.
Since we decided we were gonna have a big game the two of us knew "we" would have to put it together, so we decided that I would Coordinate and that he would Administer it since it was his land.
anyway that's about all thats worth mentioning for now, BYE
