Nice, and congrats! I've been using one of these, and it's a great monitor. Mine produced a light humming sound; to get rid of that, simply adjust the monitor brightness to somewhere between 75 and 85.WIP: CISSP, MCSE Server Infrastructure

LOL! Couldnt polish off 36 bottles in an evening. You have some good beers, I've tried Bitburger, wasnt bad. Schoefferhoffer (pardon the spelling if they are wrong) wasnt that good though. I'll give Hefeweizen a go too, that's if it's available. -

I laughed for about 5 minutes on this comment!
Haven't taken a certification in awhile, in the past I hadn't really done any celebrating. If I reach my goals this time though, I'll probably drink (though to be honest, I drink regardless of the reason or occassion). Two new drinks of choice:
Orange Vodka (Three Olives) with either Sprite Zero or Fanta Orange Zero
Orange Vodka and Red Bull (tastes like an orange tic-tac, it rocks!)
Congrats to the op as well!WIP:

At one point I was doing the CCSP and MCSE non-stop together for a few months so I ended up putting on a fair amount of weight (okay so sitting at a desk studying instead of getting exercise didn't help either ).We responded to the Year 2000 issue with "Y2K" solutions...isn't this the kind of thinking that got us into trouble in the first place?

Totally off topic but J Alexander's has one of the best burgers ever.
I'll usually treat myself to a couple of days of relaxation, some wine, and maybe a new video game or something.WGU BS:IT Completed June 30th 2012.

Tackle Member Posts: 534As soon as I passed the test I went home and put some new parts in my parents computer...not much of a reward I suppose.
My reward was moving out of my parents house into my own apartment with my girlfriend. It was time, I was 20 with a college degree and fulltime job living at home still.
I drink beer everynight (since I turned 21 of course ). I should probably cut down. I've put on over 50 pounds in the last 3 years since I graduated HS. Combination of college, studying for my cert, sitting at a desk all day and drinking beer at night while watching tv and not moving around. -

Aldur Member Posts: 1,460I just finished my work on the JNCIE-SP bootcamp course. Rewarded myself with:
1 of Synology DiskStation 5-Bay Storage DS1511+
3 of Hitachi Deskstar 3 TB SATA 6.0 Gb-s 64 MB Cache 7200RPM
Now I just have to resist checking the tracking statuses for the next week."Bribe is such an ugly word. I prefer extortion. The X makes it sound cool."

docrice Member Posts: 1,706 ■■■■■■■■■■Food, slightly more expensive (and fatty) than usual. But unlike buying food under normal circumstances, my reward in this case involves a sense of "because I deserve it!"
In other words, it's just a self-justified indulgence which doesn't mean anything.Hopefully-useful stuff I've written: http://kimiushida.com/bitsandpieces/articles/
