Updates for the week
Hi all,
Bad news first. We had to put down our dog on Tuesday. She was 11, and suddenly got very sick, was vomiting for two days (and a night) and her kidneys shut down and she had liver failure. There just wasn't anything we could do for her. Poor old dog.
Yesterday, we were supposed to get a blizzard -- and it just didn't happen. We had a bit of snow, here and there, but overall - not the disaster they were predicting.
Woke up this morning though to a ton of snow! And it's been snowing heavily all day, so I guess the storm didn't so much not happen as was "fashionably" late. But that's why I haven't been posting - it's just been kinda' nuts at the moment.
I did pass my Microsoft test on Monday though. I am now a Microsoft Certified Technical Specialist: Database Developer (SQL Server 2008). Hopefully, this will help on the job front. I do expect to get certified in Admin too, but probably not 'til mid or even late January.
Oh -- current weather:
Temp: 15 F (-9 C)
Humidity: 84%
Wind Chill: -3 F (-19 C)
Wind Speed: W 23 (Gusts 28) MPH
Precip: Snow, Blowing snow, and breezy
Blizzard Warning in effect 'til 6am Friday (this is extended, it previously expired today)
Take care all,
--Olivia
