Today was the day I was scheduled to take the
hardware half of the A+ Certification exam. I woke up and, what a
surprise, nothing good to eat. My mom says that if I don't like what
she buys, I have to go buy stuff for myself. I went out and
bought Smacks cereal and strawberry Pop Tarts. On the way back, I
got biscuits and gravy from Dari Mart and decided the cereal would
be for later days. I went and had Pop Tarts and cereal today anyway,
lol. I'm such a dork.
Andrea called and needed to be picked up from work. My dad was on
the computer with my mom on his lap and they asked if I'd go get
her. I said I was going to the bathroom. I took a while and when I
came out, my parents were still sitting there. I asked why they were
still sitting there and not getting Andrea and they said they
forgot. Then they started talking more about what they were doing on
the computer so I just said I'd go get her, even though I didn't
want to. My dad said, "Good. We didn't want to, either." My closing
statement right before I left was that maybe I wouldn't read my book
today (the one to help me pass the second test for the
certification).
Randy called and wanted to know if he could hang out for a couple
hours. I looked at the time and decided I had to leave for my test
in a little more than an hour, so I said he could come over and we'd
watch the next DBZ movie that he hasn't seen. It's movie #8 which
features Broli. He came over and we watched that, then I had to go.
I remembered that I didn't know how to get there, so I checked
online for directions. The test site was in Corvallis. It took me a
good half an hour to get there and since I left late, I arrived 4
minutes before the test began. The website said to be there 30
minutes early, but the lady said that it was okay. It was at an
aviation training place, so there were small planes and helicopters
around. There was only one other person taking the test, so I signed
in and started the 80-question exam on the computer with a 90-minute
time limit. Out of a possible 100-900 points, 467 was needed to
pass, and I got 616. Some of the questions could have been either
one in different situations, so I just picked the one that would be
right in the most situations and I probably got those wrong. Oh
well, at least I passed. I still have to do the software one and
then my certificate will arrive in... 4-6 weeks. Now where have I
heard that before? Oh yeah, my license plates. They took 4-6 weeks
to arrive. Man oh man did they take forever. Now I'll have to wait
that long again for my certificate. Just wonderful.
On the way back, I stopped in Arby's where I used to work before
Wal-Mart and got food there. Tammy, the manager, was there and she
asked how I was doing. I told her about me being fired from Wal-Mart
and why. She said, "Oh brother" to me even getting in trouble for
buying pizza on the clock. She wished me luck on my current job
search. Oh well, that's it. The rest of my day was boring.
