How does that refrain go “A little bit louder and a little bit worse”?

More Geeks. On Tuesday I managed to go to a few classes on Data Center Design. There was a lot of good info to be picked up there, then I attended a class on security. Following that I went to a class on taking a test called the CCNA. Now for those of you who aren’t geeks, and don’t have a geek family member, know this one thing, we are facinated with acronyms.

Yeah, we like taking long words and shortening them down. I can’t explain way, except that we may be way lazy, or most geeks are guys and we hate to talk, so we try to make talking as fast as possible. Imagine a conversation that went

“Need WWW/IM/VOIP ASAP on CPU ”

Man-minimal talk Heaven. I’m just surprised it hasn’t made it into the domestic market.

“WF food ASAP, <3″

…… Anyways…….Where was I?

Oh yes, I was in the class (for the CCNA - Cisc Certified Network Associate) and I realised that I hate taking tests, and now I am freaking out about it.

So I went and ate a Lobster the size of my head at Ceasars Palace, and now that I am full of crustation and butter I think I’m going to go study. One thing that is distracting is all the women in these parts. I’ll leave it at that.

Tommarow, after the training, it’s time for me to go to the pinball hall of fame!

P.S. The Ceasar Palace Forums really need GPS locators. I was lost for 30 minutes in there, thankfully I didn’t get lost in any shops.
