Departing MCSE/MCDBA/MCNGP quest (for now)
|
|
| Jeffrey L. Woods 2002-12-29, 9:23 pm |
| After much reflection (but no failed tests), I have decided that the job
market for MCSE's is a little oversaturated right now. In accordance
with supply and demand, I will vacate the market and pursue other goals
until the market improves.
I've enjoyed my time here, and I'd like to thank a few folks in the
newsgroup.
Laura Robinson: At first I thought you were a true nit picker with a
chip on your shoulder. I've come to respect you as one of the most
knowledgeable people I know. The title of "tech" or "geek" isn't
enough for you.
Frisbee: There's always time for things other than tech, and you embody
that concept in all the best ways.
Team MCNGP: I'm not worthy. Damn, I wanted to be. ;-)
To "Michael", who told us back in October that "Anyone can pass a
test".... thanks for a great troll, and an interesting spirited debate.
To Microsoft: Phooey on you for booting the MCNGP founders. I leave
this forum in sadness that it is not nearly as interesting now as when I
first arrived.
----
As to myself, now that I've sold my company, I'm off to develop the next
great widget and mousetrap, after I move to Pennsylvania.
It was fun!

| Hang in Jeff.
Why not participate while you pursue other opportunities ??
In any event, I will sadly miss you.

Laura simply suffers from the occaisional PMS (Puttin' up with Men's =

You're right, she's a babe^H^H^H^Hgem.

Very kind words, thank you.

Actually you are quite worthy. We just have quotas and all. Are you =

That definitely was a classic, and a good reason to stay in the group =

I'm not so sure it was MS, and the founders were not really "booted." =
Someone just really had a huge chip on their shoulder was all.
