Probably a typo on my part... not enough caffeine. Someone seems to have edited it for me, which is fine in this case.

The MCSA requirement was not revealed to me until a day or two AFTER my first day. The contract's actual cert callout was for MCDBA for SQL Server 2008, which is no longer available. It is therefore technically impossible for me to fulfill the requirements of the contract. They're in the process of amending the contract to add the words "or equivalent", but there is some discussion still going on as to exactly who determines what the "equivalent" is, and when the determination is made. The nearest "equivalent" is MCSA for SQL Server 2012, which *I heard* the government is going to skip altogether. At that point a cert for thwhatever next version of SQL server they move to will be required, and I'll probably have to get that cert as well. I plan on staging a bloody coup at that point because I absoilutely refuse to suffer through another round of MS Cert testing.

My kid sisters are in their 50's. One was a border patrol agent, and one is half crazy (and thankfully on a whole host of medications). The third one talks more like a sailer than I do. Anything I say can be considered safe for my sisters considering we all act like we have Tourettes Syndrome...

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Apparently some Brits are unhappy that LeBron broke protocol and put his arms around Kate when they met with him yesterday. Well, he is LeBron James - he makes his own protocols!
I thought it funny that people worry over things like that.

You don't need to know, so you weren't informed.
The wanker in question did need to know, so his "peeps" informed him ... that he could get a lot of publicity by acting like a wanker.

I'd willingly take 60 millions Brits in exchange for a (former) Prime Minister that pulls pranks on the Prime Minister of another country (a too big and too near one and with a known record of belligerancy plus a lot of (t)reasons to hate mine).

When visiting other countries, expect the local protocol to be followed.

Some "white" brits didn't like a black guy putting his arm around "their" white woman.
I had to go there.

Well, as a brown guy I didn't want to intrude into your white-black joke territory.

Well, as a white Yankee, I don't really care who put their arm around Kate. She is hot, and seems like a nice person. Best of luck to the royal family.
