priorities

Yesterday was my last day at my old job. Since I don’t have anything new lined up yet, I’m now officially unemployed. I’ve got three priorities I’m going to work on while I’m unemployed:

  1. finishing up all the work I need to do on my parents’ estates,
  2. finding a new job, and
  3. passing a few .Net certification tests.

The third item is optional.  I’ve been working on studying for the 70-536 exam for the last few weeks, and I still don’t think I’m quite ready to take it.  I learned a lot of valuable stuff by reading the book and working through the exercises, but passing the test itself is really just going to involve a lot of memorization, and I’m not 100% sure that’s the best use of my time.  It might be better to just work through the material, then go on to the next thing without worrying about the exam.  I’m undecided.
