i am not accusing him of being a shmo 'cause he is still a MCSE NT.
i am accusing him of being a shmo 'cause he didn't go to MS learning and
find out what he has to do to get upgraded to MCSE 2K.
what i didn't account for was the possibility that the employer is asking
the question behind the guys back because he doesn't believe the guy that
he has to take all the exams to upgrade to MCSE 2k. but if that is the
case, then i retract my "shmo" label from the MCSE NT and assign it to
the employer becuase he does not trust and have faith in the people
he/she hires.
