I had a major blow to my ego yesterday. I took a certification test and failed. I only missed it by 2 or 3 questions, but still. It was a 2.5 hour test and I used 2 hours and 12 minutes of that time only to fail. The questions just didn't work for my brain. I am a technical person not a business analyst. I can't think in terms of "which countries had a 50% profit margin based on the moving 12 month average of sales by sub-category?". That's a real question. My response is huh? The ones that asked technical questions "can you do this", "what is this called" I did fine on. It was the ones that needed me to think like an analyst. "Create a binned histogram with buckets of sum of sales with $1000 and determine which bins have profit greater than 5%". Ugh. I am going to crash study the next two days and retake the test in a week. Maybe this time I will pass.
In more positive news, we bought a coffee table. Yay us. After 6 years I retired my leopard ottoman which I have been using as a table. I don't want to throw it away though and need to find some place to store it. In the future it will be perfect for some room. Yeah the future that will never come. Oh yeah, Vanity of Vanity 6 fame died at 57 last night. Whee.
B's treadmill arrived yesterday. We spent some time rearranging things and assembling it. Getting it up three flights of stairs was a hell of a workout in itself. But now it's here. She better use it is all I know.
Watched Lucifer and Magicians last night. Went to bed around 10:30. Had trouble sleeping. My knee and shoulder are both bothering me. Fuck being old.
