I started stage three of my Cisco CCNA tonight. For the uninitiated, the Cisco Certified Network Associate, is an industry qualification for networking, routing, and other fun things involving bits of kit on the end of wires. I’ve learned an awful lot about networking fundamentals and TCP/IP and things over the last few months. The only trouble with the course, is that its evenings after work, so it means a pretty long day. Its run at work too, by the Technology faculty, so I’ve only got to wander across the car park and I’m there – travel really isn’t an issue here! The problem is I don’t get home until about 20:00-20:30 ish, which when you consider I leave home at about 07:30 in the morning, it means a damn long day! Still, its not for much longer, and its only twice a week. Yes, I’m well aware some people work these sort of hours every day, but I’m not a long-hours worker, so it really does tire me out. Still, we’re half way through the whole thing now, so that’s not bad.
