This past week I passed the CompTIA 220-601 and 220-602 exams and became A+ certified.  Not the most impressive of certifications that are out there, but it gets me a raise.  Plus it is one of the few positive steps I’ve taken in my life in a long time.  So I’ll take what I can get and call it success.  Now on to Network+.  There’s no rest for the wicked.
