Thankfully, I found that out quickly and got m MCSE and CCNA The only time I've seen A+ being useful/required is if you work at a shop doing warranty work. Some manufacturers consider A+ alone to be good enough to get warranty authorized on their product lines, some require A+ and a short test. When I took it they were still asking about jumpers for IRQs and base memory addresses and how to use COPY CON come make a CONFIG.SYS if you didn't have any other editor available.

So UVerse botched out install date. So no TV until the 23rd. Comcast, who previous checked the house and said "Everything is great! Address checks out! You can get the 50mb down service! Call us the day you want to transfer from your old house to your new one and we'll take care of it" has now changed their tune to "We can't find the house in our system so we'll need to get a line tech to your address. The earliest we can have someone there is the 24th." Awesome.

I've always had trouble moving mp3s to either CDs or flash media. They'd be in an innocuous enough directory (P:/Music or something) but their song titles are novels in themselves. No joke, this is an actual song title: code:It was hilarious and annoying at the same time.

Could be worse. there was that guy on Consumerist who was told he could get broadband, no problem, at his potential new house, so he bought the house. Then he was told that no, he couldn't get broadband, from either of the towns providers, and would have to pay an obscene amount of money to have cable strung. Now he's probably going to have to sell the house, because his job depends on access. No surprise: it's Comcast. http://consumerist.com/2015/03/25/new-homeowner-has-to-sell-house-because-of-comcasts-incompetence-lack-of-competition/

Also for those of you unfamiliar with Sunn 0))), i want you to imagine something. It was december 2012, I got off work, I was so broke I couldnt even afford beer or smokes and sitting in my room wondering how I was going to get through my two days off entirely sober. Someone pounds on my door. Its my room mate who slaps a double fistful of wild psylocibe cyanescens mushrooms he just picked into my hands and says enjoy because the harvest was good. I eat the mushrooms. Five minutes later my friend calls me and says Sunn is playin that night and he has an extra ticket. All I said was I'm gonna need a ride there. I have worshipped at the alter of Sound, and I have heard the song of the death of all existence.  http://youtu.be/7a0Z2yndlOs

My dumb brother bought a used Cayenne turbo two weeks ago, almost sight unseen. He traded in his 2008 landcruiser. today he called me and told me the CEL was flashing. I told him to wait for me, and ill grab the towtruck from the shop. five minutes later he comes driving in. He borrowed a code reader and i could hear his cries of pain when he had 12 error codes, most of the ecu related. I started being an rear end in a top hat for awhile, telling him about parts prices for superior germans automobiles..then i tested his battery, it failed both static and load testing... Gave him a new battery and cleared the codes.

Sunn's motto is Maximum Volume Yields Maximum Results, tunes a portion of their subs to sub-audible frequencies just to push air and shake your bones, and tries to exceed 150+dB at their shows so its either Noise Marines or the closest thing to Disaster Zone we are humanly able to achieve.
