A skinning (and other things) sabbatical...

I've come to the conclusion my job isn't going to improve much without me improving my knowledge first. With that in mind I've signed up for some training. To do this I need to free up some time for my studies. So time spent skinning, browsing and general 'passing of time' has to stop. It's 25 years since I did anything like this, add that to the failing memory you get at my age, and you get me wondering if this is not too tough for me - we shall see.

I'm off to a bad start, the CCNA course I've enrolled on started four weeks ago. Somehow I've got to catch that up before 1st Nov (first class), though the first few modules don't look that challenging. Looks like this weekend is spoken for...

I shall still be around before work and during lunch to do my moderating type stuff, so don't think you're going to sneak any pink dolphins through I won't be skinning though and will be off the messageboard apart from the occasional visit.

/me wanders off to practice converting hex into binary...

Good luck Fuzzy...... I'm thinking of going to school myself. If I do, I'll start in January. Maybe we'll start a trend with all the Mods.

Yeah, its a bitch getting old Fuzzy, but remember, you can teach an old dog new tricks.

Study hard and you will make it.

Hope it all goes well on the catch-up...

(I hope you manage, just so you can show all the young un's that 'oldies' can do just as well, and perhaps better! )

Good for you Fuzzy.

Never stop learning and you'll never grow old ... at least mentally.

I checked it out and I can't believe it - not one of the C's in CCNA stands for chocolate

You'll be fine - focus and enjoy .

Good Luck Fuzzy!

and yes you can teach an old dog new tricks. I started back in school about 2 years ago and have done much better this time, currently I have a 4.0 with only 6 hours to go.

Keep us posted!
