I looked back and read my first post on my first CCIE attempt.
All of those things apply again.
I was more nervous than I should have been and made stupid mistakes because of it

left unchecked for several hours.. then me doing my testing wondering.. wtf why isn’t that working?
or answering some easy question, then not fully understanding the ramifications.. and making it now impossible to dial all of the phones at one site.
My configuration was done quickly enough.. I had to keep looking at the test though because it was pretty different than what I was used to setting up. My fatal flaw is not being able to just read the test, internalize, then spit it all out into one glorious and shining config
All in all there were 2 things I was unsure about, that might pass or might not.
There were 3 things I will certainly not get points for.
Now it’s up to time to see if I pass or fail. I’m certain of failure.
If I pass I’ll be ridiculously over joyed… but for now I’m looking to see when the next free date is I can schedule.
If passing happens I’ll get drunk, buy a new comp, maybe play some WoW.
If failing happens I’ll get even more drunk, schedule a new lab, and start studying again.
This test may well wind up destroying any shred of mental sanity I have left after dealing with customers.
I’ll be sure to post as soon as I get my score report.
