Found myself with an A+ certification. Not much to really say about it other than it’s really just a drop in the bucket of the rest of things I’ve done. Gearing up to hammer out a CCNA finally though – especially considering that I have everything together for it – and likely my ITIL, CISSP, and sometime next year CCNP, and really finding myself with a rekindled interest in programming. My current employer seems interested in a different direction congruent to their own interests, but that doesn’t mean I cannot further my own self. It is plausible that I may be retuning to university next fall depending upon the environment I find myself in as well.

So, yep, I am pretty busy these days. Never really did much in terms of proving my skills and education, but the market seems to be calling for it as there are not all that many jobs available still. Also in the plan for the next week is to create a good solid workspace for myself. My old desk fails to have adequate space for all the computer equipment and leatherwork gear I have in my office area. There shall be photos of it when it is all done though!

And yes, I am continuing to work on leather items! Recently I’ve been working on a mask of sorts that I am quite excited about, and I have also managed to complete a neck corset, as well as a simple bracer. I have managed to get some nice new supplies and am hoping to get much more done whilst studying and in place of being bored.

That is about all for now though.

As it is, I still have need to share my two newest additions, Sponges and Deca:

Sponges is an amel motley corn snake, a few years old, and about four feet long. I adopted him from a friend who was unable to make certain he was getting the proper care he needed. Decarabia is my little baby black stripe ball python, only a few months old, and about a foot long currently. Already in the past month she has seemingly plumped up a bit. Both are very cuddly and friendly, and fairly constricty with their cuddles too!

Also, in the past few months I have been doing some manner of studying. Been working towards getting a couple IT certs, including redoing my CCNA (and likely continuing on towards the CCNP) and a CISSP certification. As such I now have this sitting alongside my desk:

And then of course, last but not least – given that this is the season for Halloween – I have an outfit to show off. Made by Kathleen, it is Silhouette from the Minutemen:
