Sure, you could say that. Or you can exchange 'nice' with 'utterly boring and useless crap that people just made up to make money off'. :)
 
The ones i got earlier this year: PRINCE2 Foundation, PRINCE2 Practitioner and ITIL Foundation
The one i took yesterday: BiSL
I am currently (as in today) doing a course in PMBoK.
 
It's probably not that weird of a fetish. Or, at least barely more unusual than fans of anal would be my guess.

Dr Pepper doesn't have the period in it btw

Yeah its not that weird. Its only slightly more weird since franklin is a dude, but you know, to each their own.

Ahh, project management type stuff. Nice.

Ah, project management, also known as overpaid babysitting.
 
For the life of me I couldn't figure out the bad meaning of DP. Thank you, Urban dictionary!

I now know that I dislike both forms of DP, although to be perfectly fair I've only tried one of them.
 
Sure, we believe you stegs...

Ok, that was my real thought that they were similar to six sigma, but wasn't totally sure in practice if they were useful. Stuff that normal people do on their own because they aren't morons. I liked this a lot from ITIL:

"The Foundation level is the entry level qualification which offers you a general awareness of the key elements, concepts and terminology used in the ITIL service lifecycle, including the links between lifecycle stages, the processes used and their contribution to service management practices."

General awareness of key elements... To perform heart surgery, I am generally aware you open the chest and start vacuuming stuff out. Maybe run a pipe cleaner through an artery or something. Wiggle your fingers through the valves a little bit. I now pronounce myself a Foundation level heart surgeon. Way to go me!

Are you in project management?

Yeah its not that weird. Its only slightly more weird since franklin is a dude, but you know, to each their own.

Don't dude the dude, dude.

I'm not even in project management. Although it does often feel like babysitting. Perhaps i should. At least then i'll be an overpaid babysitter.

In that case you should try Dr. Pepper some day. :D

Haha, nice description. Perhaps you should also take the foundation lvl in brain surgery. We could use some more brains in here.

At least in Prince2 i could see some sense. Although i still think that just using your brain would get you there as well. And with all the documents they feel you should have i can see why people see managers as 'paper creating machines'. The ITIL and BiSL courses are (imo) absolutely and totally useless. Well, except maybe for showing of a few more certifications. ;)

Yeah I am a Project Manager. I am currently doing a diploma in PM.
 
DP = Double penetration. To most of the internet world, anyway. It is generally when a female has two orifices...

Hi.

No, I didn't read much else besides DP. Congrats on that which is expected to be congratulated for; best wishes for any :( emotions. <3 to all.
And who the hell has doctor pepper (no caps.) That was tried in Aus, but never really gained momentum. It's still sold here, but I don't know anyone who drinks it.

And of course, much <3 to all.
 
Congrats everyone on certificats and such, they are tokens of powerful protection. I wish I had any.

I've not been well lately.
Work's been going downhill, with the jobs I like and the only jobs I'm good at taken away, definitely, into not existing anymore.
I'm left with tough technical stuff, figuring out online databases and such. Nothing I've ever been trained in, nothing that previous colleagues who got paid shitloads of money to do this left any legacy of. I'm on my own, and my colleagues are convinced that this job is seperate of how they run things so anything I say is ignored.

To use a library metaphor: I feel I'm constantly shelving books on the topshelf, stretching myself beyond reach, with no chance to step down or slow down. I've not been sleeping well. I'm putting on weight and losing hair, both in rapid measure. I'm aching all over and I can't rest.

And I know there's people worse off than me. I just feel worn and old and useless.
 
I'm sorry that so many aspects of your life are going poorly. Not much to say, but I really hope that things turn around for you soon.
 
Thanks. I know life is not treating you very well either at the moment. It seems to be the season.

It's been very cold and nippy here lately - eerie cold wind, making it feel colder than it would be would it actually be freezing which it isn't. It's dull and grey and that seemed to have been the cue for my winter depression to come on extra early this year. It's....bad, it's been a long time it's been this bad. I ended up having to phone a friend last night as I was doing very poorly.
 
Glad to hear she's back home!

Yesterday I moved out into my own apartment, the beginning of the end.

:'(

Most females have two orifices or more. At least, that's what they say but who really knows?

They have at least a dozen!! I know for sure!

Wish things were awesome for everybody...
