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.

I also managed to capture some photos of the forest fire in Opal, the sunset on Highway 63 near Fort McMurray, and  some wildlife in the Muskoseepi Park in Grande Prairie, as well as some others here and there.

After completing that short contract, it was barely a week before I was put into my new role. It seems to be a fairly quiet and comfortable environment, which will certainly be nice. So finances looking up, free time looking up, and motivation also being quite on the up lately, things are really splendid! Still studying for some certifications (CCNA getting put on the backburner for the sake of what they wish me to complete for this new position), and still working on photography and some leatherwork, as well as taking care of my lovies, and seemingly reading more and more comics as the days go by…

It’s also very likely that I am moving (well less of the likely sort and more of a question of when it will happen).  Hopefully that gets cleared up – yet it is all for the best too since I shall finally get to have my Marilyn around more often.
