The Waiting Game

Grrr. I thought waiting for my CISSP exam results would be no problem. Wrong! It just doesn't make sense to apply for more jobs without knowing. I'm also thinking of getting more certifications. In some part, the next cert I go for will depend on whether I'm a CISSP. The problem with this kind of waiting is I don't whether the results are sitting on someone’s desk waiting to be put through the scoring machine or sitting in a mailbag to be delivered tomorrow.

Well, a small piece of hell really has frozen over. My 1996 income tax return is in the mail! My 1997 return is essentially done, too. Now I get to wait for the refund. Just in time for Christmas shopping ... but I want to buy toys for me!!!!

Top Ten Worse Waits
[In no particular order]
1. A stall in a public washroom after eating real spicy food
2. Aspirin/Excedrin/Other Drugs to kick in when something is really, really hurting
3. To fall asleep when you're drunk and almost ready to hurl
4. For the plane to land because the air is stuffy, the seat in front of you has cut of circulation in your legs, and you can't concentrate enough to read.
5. Sex anytime in the first 6 months of a relationship
6. Getting home in traffic in a bad rush hour after a long day
7. Getting to sleep the night before anything fun
8. Waiting for a system to boot after an extreme failure
9. The next volume of your favourite book series
10. Exam results in the mail

Hope springs eternal, maybe tomorrow.
