you know you are...

I was talking casually with some friends, and an interesting topic came up...would you guys say:

you know you are paper MCSE when...

1) you dont know what paper MCSE is.
2) you dont even know what MCSE stands for.
3) you are MCSE NT 4.0/Windows 2000 and passed with flying colours, but can barely score a 3-digit score on 70-29x
4) you think MS Windows started with 3.1
5) you think Exchange Server started with 5.5
6) you got your study materials from a "friend"
7) you are/were desperate for a new job/promotion
8 ) you have heard of AD, but have never heard of LDAP
9) you went through 1-8 to show that you are not paper MCSE...

these are just for laughs...I am sure there are other ones, perhaps more accurate...
Hope y'all had a good time shopping during boxing day!

And number 19 which I heard this week (a guy on a clients IT team).

"I only tested on NT4 to get my MCSE but, MCSE is for life which means I'm also an MCSE on 2000 and 2003"

Even with experiance - doing all those exams in 2 weeks would be nearby impossible because you have to learn the "Microsoft" way of doing things.
