Well folks. I actually did it, I finally achieved the Microsoft Master's designation after passing the Cert Lab. Ryan Conrad, MCM Program Manager sent me the good word today.
Now what do I do with this new found acronym? Ask my boss for a raise? Well I am self employed, so that won't work. Shoot for the Microsoft Certified Architect certification? Uh, that would be a big NO at this point.
Honestly, I feel like running ten miles just to stop the adrenaline flow through my body. What a rush! And after that I feel like sitting in front of the TV for a day with just the clicker in hand. Once I am acclimated back to my normal environment, maybe it will sink in then.
To all of the guys from my rotation who are still working on achieving the MCM, please don't give up! Keep at it! You can do it, I know you can!
The trail to Microsoft Product Mastery is not easy but with the right conditioning and expert guidance, you can reach the summit.
