Sorry I get it now. You just have to be what you have to be. Still sad
really. I'm not sad; I think you missed my meaning. I meant you were sad,
this was weird, and what was the point of all of it? Yeah I couldn't resist
a quote form the theme of you're message.
I'll say your propaganda is no different or anymore interesting than any
other teenage philosophy. (and no I'm not making any assumptions about your
age And maybe sad isn't quite the right word, maybe funny is, and I'm not
referring to your humor, even though it feels very office space, but I'm
really not going there right now.
As for your quick defense to your job performance and my comments on
failure, I found that odd, as I was referring to your test taking, not work.
As for you leaving because it was "stupid." I wasn't aware I cared why you
left. You're welcome to lofty ideas and high goals, wasn't that the point
anyway. No I'm more concerned about your animosity to what seems to be
everything that is on this newsgroup.
With my personal relation to the MCSE; it did change my marketability in the
industry. I honestly was a night/day difference with respect to the phone
calls coming in to my voice mail. But I digress, the whole point of all of
it; to answer your question. The point is for you to decide, because that's
what's important, that's what matters, and if you're unable to find a point
on your own, I would imagine you'll stay depressed. (I know you said you
weren't.) If you feel big business only deals with big business and you will
do little more than nothing, then may your self fulfilling prophecy come
true. Low expectations lead to little disappointment. Your right, maybe it
isn't sad, maybe its fear of what you're capable of. Maybe that's why your
ideals are open and lofty, very much like a dreamer while ironically your
views are very singularly provincial.
So what is your stand? What profound statement do you want to leave when you
depart? Obviously all of this boils down to someone in search of a legacy. I'm
just curious how close you are to finding it.

I may sound arrogant at times, but that's only because I'm always right.
