    Kopite, I would suggest you go for a client exam.

    some people here will suggest windows XP, but I'm a believer for the future and as such would recommend Windows 7 client exam (70-680).

    Goals in 2k12

    Carry on learning new job - I'm being sent on 4 residential training courses (2 in Feb, 2 in April) to further learn Fujitsu VME / SCL at Verhoef Training in Bath (if anyone on here as ever attending any training there, I would appreciate if you could let me know what it's like) - it's nice to be invested in with this new job, really excited about it.

    I've booked 70-659 for the end of Jan just to get back into MS certs and to back-up what i'm doing in my current role.

    Keep on the fitness / gym / cycling track.

    Oh, and i'm getting married in June as well!

    Best of luck to everyone for the coming year! As for me, Hmmm...

    Certs:
    1. CCNA - OU course finished, just have to get off my backside and book the damn thing!
    2. ITIL Foundation - A necessary evil unfortunately.
    3. MCSA
    4. HP APS (X2) to keep the one I just got company.

    Onther academia:
    Continue with the 'maths break' portion of my OU degree, then dive into the refreshed programming modules.

    Career:

    Stop being such a girl and start working out of hours.

    Personal:

    1. Lose some weight by ditching the car for the commute to work and getting on a bike! (the gym is too boooooring!)
    2. Increase my 'nerd cred' (and social circle) by joining the local astronomy club, archery club and midieval living history society.

    Pretty full plate, I will let everyone know how I get on!

    I have not studied for a good few months now so goals for 2012 would be:

    Get back into study mode! It's been really hard because I do so many hours at work these days.
    Pass VCP4
    Upgrade MCSE to MCITP:EA
    Stop talking about martial arts and just get my lazy ass down to the Jujitsu school 5 minutes away!
    Look for the next level in work. I like Wintel BAU but I want to push myself and I still fancy Pen Testing but who has the time to learn C on top of everything I'm already doing :S

    Bit more of a rant than a to do list but what ever ha ha

    I'm moving in with the other half. So technically, her house, no rent (though obviously contributing to bills!) :)

    YAY! Game on! Always a big step, living with the partner, new job and new town - I did that 5 years ago, still survived though :)

    It's been a month or two since this post was last updated. Making sure we're all held accountable, what's the status of your new years resolutions?


    Career:

    [*]A+, N+, 680, MOS. If there is any other time I'll sit the 685. - A+ done, booked N+ for next month


    Health:

    [*]No chocolate (at all) or fizzy drinks (Coke/Sprite etc) - Kept this up, not as hard as I thought after the first month. Although it is trouble avoiding chocolate sprinkled on foods when out GRRR

    [*]Gym at least 2 times a week, although my routine is based on 3x - Not really kept 2x because of work and moving gym. However, its been going well and I'm still doing it, so I consider it a success so far.

    [*]Lose 2-4% body fat ^ - I've lost a stone, 1.5" off my waist...haven't checked on the % but I'm extremely happy from the 4 months work

    Personal Productivity:

    [*]Become more productive, log my results, make goals. Stop procrastinating - Lists and logs keep me going. I have a whiteboard at home I update regularly

    [*]Read a book a month, whether it is for certification or personal. - Doing more than 1 a month now, however they're smaller books :D

    [*]Post regularly on my site, aim for better google ranking. - Scrap that, can't be arsed with a blog

    Relationship:

    [*]Go on a honeymoon - Planned for the end of the year, will in the next couple of months.


    Financial:

    [*]
    Pay of the credit card - less than £1000 remaining
