So the weight of the CCIE lab exam is finally getting to me. I have about 6 or 7 more weeks to go before I sit for the test, and I’ll admit, the preparation is driving me crazy. In order to make certain I am ready for the test, I have to study a lot. for example, next weekend I have two 12 hour practice labs scheduled. In order to be ready to take full advantage of those, I need to do a lot of reading during the week after work so that I don’t waste any time on the weekend.
That’s all great, but the big problem is that while I’m doing this, things around the house aren’t getting done. It’s not fair to Meghan that I don’t pull my weight around the house.
The solution, as I see it, is to extend the days to 48 hours. And somebody needs to hook me up with those pills that the French Foreign Legion was testing that enabled them to work for a week straight with no sleep and no apparent side effects. I think that would solve my problem right there.
So I need some stress relief. And I don’t see it happening until I have a CCIE number added to my resume.
