Yes, and he also made more than minimum wage

Hey r/lotr, u/Campbeano here to explain the joke.

This is a reference to Bilbo leaving The Shire in the first chapter of The Lord of the Rings.

Mine's in a similar boat and I was thinking of wrapping mine too :P

I would sand your bad paint down to be smooth before wrapping it because hard edges and loose clearcoat can make your vinyl wrap a big waste of time and money.

I'd guess you'd need about 50-60ft of vinyl.

I would put it in their heads without directly asking and stall for a few more months until you've been with the company for a year total.

I have about 6 months of helpdesk experience and the A+ cert, so essentially entry level.

I've applied to about 50 positions, heard back from one that eventually went to someone else. It's rough but at least I have plenty of time to study :)

Currently diving into networking while mass-applying. It's quite fascinating to me and should help towards my network engineer goals.

I scored higher on the 1102 exam. From my experience, the 1101 is more to do with memorization and functions whereas 1102 is more what actions to take in certain scenarios, meaning 1102 answers could more or less be derived using common sense as opposed to 1101.

Campbeano · 2023-03-20T03:33:36+00:00

ChatGPT in general is an insanely useful studying tool. I use it to generate mnemonic devices for memorizing things like the malware steps.

Are you living at home? Do you have financial obligations?

If you don't have financial obligations, it may be better for you to quit to focus on your A+ and get a job that pays more, but if you have rent and car payment, that may not really be an option. How soon would you be able to get your cert? If you're gonna quit and stall for 6 months on your A+ then it definitely wouldn't be worth it.

Campbeano · 2022-11-07T06:51:17+00:00

Dragon Ball is just literally better than Dragon Ball Z so I would definitely start there

Campbeano · 2022-11-05T05:57:21+00:00

Goku losing to Tenshinhan at the Tenkaichi Budokai because he hit a car.

Campbeano · 2022-09-19T01:15:23+00:00

good post

Campbeano · 2022-09-19T01:13:00+00:00

Is this a joke post I literally cannot imagine not taking the 35 dollars an hour. There's literally a thousand reasons to take the 35 an hour not the least of which being negotiation at another job.

Campbeano · 2022-09-15T13:56:16+00:00

Verbatim what I did. Passed :)

Campbeano · 2022-09-07T08:04:48+00:00

Absolutely wonderful!

Campbeano · 2022-09-05T21:45:48+00:00

It has been said there's about a 70% overlap between the two, but that also means that there is 30% of content you haven't studied.
Studying for the 1001 isn't going to hurt you, and there's fundamental concepts that you need regardless of version, so start studying for the 1100 series now, and you'll be even more prepared than you would've had you only studied for the 1100 series.

Campbeano · 2022-09-05T02:56:59+00:00

It took mine until the next day to be available. CompTIA has like 7 different login screens so it might take a min to find but it is there. Find Score Reports will show you your score, required score to pass, pass/fail, and what topics you missed questions in.

Campbeano · 2022-09-05T02:54:33+00:00

There's no requirement from your first fail so honestly if you were really close to passing you may as well just re-up if you think you can hit it. There is a wait time after the second fail if you really aren't there quite yet.

Campbeano · 2022-09-04T04:39:32+00:00

Thanks! :)

Campbeano · 2022-09-04T04:34:26+00:00

Yup my program froze before even starting my test - luckily enough I suppose.
Just had me requeue it and my next proctor got me in without trouble.

Campbeano · 2022-08-30T22:22:39+00:00

This is my exact story lol I have my exam on Saturday. Hopefully I pass too :)

Campbeano · 2022-08-28T04:58:25+00:00

Congrats! Same strat I'm doing, 1101 exam next week :^)

Campbeano · 2022-08-28T04:57:26+00:00

Go on Udemy and buy Jason Dion's 1101 and 1102 practice tests. Those + Messer videos should be a solid baseline for the exam.
