So I posted some pics in the Gallery of some tattoo ideas I have been throwing around. The one I liked the most and was somewhat disappointed to find someone already having it was the “Murder” of crows on the arm. I really liked that one the most, very simple. Anyway…<\/p>\n

I’m going to be taking a pair of Microsoft tests this week in hopes of completing a pair of certifications. First of all the tests are 70-271 and 70-272, a pair of simple tests that will give you a MCDST or Microsoft Certified Desktop Support Technician. Now you may be asking why on earth would I want a “help desk” certification… well the answer is the 300 dollars my company will pay me once I complete it. Also by completing the MCDST I will also receive my MCSA (Microsoft Certified Systems Administrator), which is a $600 dollar bonus from my company, and finally the simple act of taking the first test 70-271 I will receive an additional $300 (MCP cert). So for taking 2 tests (which the company pays for as well) I will be receiving a bonus of nearly $1200 before taxes. A pretty sweet deal if you ask me.<\/p>\n

So with that said I have been in the market for a new MacBook Pro. The “Lunchtray” (17in Powerbook) is now showing its age with the release of the Core Duo MacBooks, and I would love to get my hands on one. So hopefully with the bonus check that I will receive from work along with the sale of my current Powerbook I should be able to score the middle-tier 15in MacBook Pro. Hopefully.<\/p>\n

In about another week I will finally be less than 200 pounds again. My weight has fluctuated badly over the last four years due to little exercise and unforgiving work. Hopefully now I can keep the weight off and get in a little better shape. But I’m afraid my dreams of being in N’Sync are over.<\/p>\n
