    Things seem to have dried up round here, admittedly I only logged back in recently myself. Whats new then lads? Anyone got any exciting news? Personally I don’t have much to report, recently started a martial arts class, work is ok I suppose... same old story of life as a tech support worker.

    looking to get a few more certs under my belt soon just to beef up the CV as I think I can attack a few certs, now that I have the relevant experience. Its comming up to my 3 year aniversary of moving into IT!

    I’m in Bulgaria for a Hybrid SDDC course all week with VMware then next week I’m working in a food bank in Liverpool all week. We get a week per year to do such things and when we complete 40 hours, we get $1000 to donate to charity, so busy times.

    On top of that I have sold my house and move out the second week of December. Got to live in my mother in laws for two or three months until the new house is finished and we’ve got a baby due early January so I have a thing or two on my mind ha!

    Next year I’m going to get a VCAP so will write about what I study etc. I still think it’s important to test myself and what I know seeing as I’m 39 and have a sickening number of years left to work
