So as well as it being my birthday today, it was also the day I sat my MCP in 70-290 and just like the 1st time I sat it I failed again, just hoping my 3rd time will get me through it.

Thing about the 70-290 exam is its marked in 5 sections and if you do say really really crap in one and ok in the other 4 you can still fail, or so it seems, anyway for me it was a case of doing well in 3 and failing in 2. So tomorrow I have to face my MD and explain why I failed 🙁

My only excuse is that I dont get enough practice on live machines, can’t exactly do it on our active servers at work in case I fcuk up big style and I hate Virtual PC’s, just going to have to bite the bullet and see if I can wangle a couple of PC’s from work to set up a small domain at home that I can practice on and hopefully improve my scores.

On top of all this misery on my birthday, my no smoking plan is’nt exactly going to plan, ended up having about 7-8 ciggys today, think it was cause I was depressed tbh, must try harder 🙁
