There’s no promotion in it. My next promotion would have to be to management and I won’t go there! Been there, done that and have the emotional scars to prove it. :)

I’m currently the senior over the Solaris part of the Unix group where I work, and I haven’t gotten my certification because everyone else got to go to class and get certified while I got the systems up and running! (isn’t that always the way?) It was my choice, by the way. But it would definitely help if I decided to look for another job. And you never know; the wind over on the upper management side of the building seems to be whispering “out-sourcing”.

My group was primarily AIX until the first SUN server came in the door. I do have my AIX certification, although it could use some “refreshing”.

thanks for the cheer! :)
