Happy hour is terrific. Today my buddies Lucas and Bryan went to happy hour and ole Lucas ordered something other than what was covered under the happy hour umbrella. Bryan and I told him that it defeats the purpose of happy hour but apparently it tasted better than what we had...hmm? alcohol vs. flavor.........alcohol vs. flavor.........hmm?
It was a good evening. I had a good time with buddies and chatting -- much better chatting with someone outside of work than AT work. Bryan, if you're reading this, hope your wedding initations turn out ok! I hope mindy, joe, nita(my wonderful honey if reading), and me are innvited b/c we are going to be at your doorstep from 2,000 miles away!
Lucas, "happy hour = INexpensive alcoholic beverages". No more $7.00/drink orders!

Just call me Mr. P. -- Portal Developer
Test 348, WebSphere Portal V5.0, Application Development.
Showed this test who its daddy is - haha. It was definately difficult - there is a reason they require a 54% to pass. I can't imagine the number of people have failed it for them to put this as the passing grade. I survived it with a 72%.
I made notes AFTER i took this exam so I can see what I missed and what I got right. Let me just say...if you're going to be taking this exam, know the Portlet API inside/out. If you have questions (about exam topics), get a hold of me or post a message.
Almost forgot to mention - I used redbook "WebSphere Portal V5 - A Guide to Portlet Development" to prepare.
Best of luck to anyone to takes this test.

I'm back -
Yes, you can relax, im here.
So I don't know about any of you lil troy's out there but geez, I don't look forward to doing my taxes this year. In fact, I'm going to wait until the last day of filing before I submit. The unfortunate truth is that this year will cost a pretty penny...I wonder if they'll accept the firstborn as the first installment payment.

Drop down and gimme 20!
Colleges are around to make your money and just when you get the interest to join in their not so elite club, they give you hoop after hoop to jump just to take some classses. I've applied for the Ph.D. program and the university has accepted me but now the college/major is looking at my application and after talking to them it sounds like it's a done deal but they want about 10 pages of writing, copies of all publications, 6 copies of resumes, 3 letters (6 copies each) of recommendation letters, and the list goes on...
If you survive the acceptance process, you'll definately be able to cut it when it comes to the rest of the program!
but there are times you gotta suck in your gut, be a 'Panzy a$$', and do what the man says.

2 nickels
What is sad is true...unfortunately. What we have is a game where the good guys lose and the folks who cry the loudest, win.
I don't tolerate this much and never really have. But at the same time instead of managing the concern (however small) many people often deal with it...as I sometimes do myself. So what's the real problem? I think the people who deal with it are "panzy a$$es." :-) As someone told me today (in nicer words of course), manage it and stop being a panzy a$$ otherwise you lose to the folks who cry the loudest... Because what is sad is true...unfortunately.
