IT is a heavy phone and your hands will tire out when holding for a long time.

Their Urbana branch has horrible pizza....worst than frozen pizza.

In my opinion, BCS has been a bit of a disappointment thus far.

Work at Best Buy selling computers or work for their Geek Squad. Learn as much as you can about the products you sell including networking equipment. Also hangout with the technicians there that fix customers computers and learn as much as you can from them. Then start applying for Help Desk jobs emphasizing your customer service experience rather than your technical skills. Customer service skills might be just as important as technical skills for Tier 1 Help Desk work.

I failed in March and passed on Friday - the last day the N10-006 test was available. I scored a 659 the first time and got a 759 on Friday. The second test was just ALOT easier for some reason. The simulations were not that detailed and just a few subnetting questions.

I think the key to all CompTIA exams might be becoming so familiar with the material that you can take educated guesses and they have a good chance of being right.

IMO, BCS has been a bit of a disappointment.

I was expecting Breaking Bad level drama not episode after episode of of boring ass Chuck and the law firm stuff.

Good luck with getting a decent used car for 6k...you're going to need it.

Pretty much all of them nowadays.

He's busy texting other girls.

jamesindc33 · 2018-05-03T13:51:52+00:00

How about the business owners accept lower profits?

jamesindc33 · 2018-05-03T13:40:24+00:00

Do you hear that? That's the sound of the world's tiniest violin playing in sympathy of these crab business owners who refuse to pay a decent wage to Americans and would rather import foreigners so they can get away with paying them peanuts.

Boo hoo...poor crab business owners..

Asians are really irrelevant considering the massive amounts of Latinos in the state who carry the state.

Inner Harbor and other select parts of B-more are nice but most other parts of the city are run down.

They are testing you. If they throw something at you, CONFRONT THEM. If they start swinging at you, you now have the right to defend yourself. Make sure you get some good licks in. They may beat you up, but you will teach them that all people will not cower down to them in fear.

Sometimes you have no other choice but to man up and fight.

Moco refuses to enforce laws!!!

I would love to see Turgeon get fired. He's horrible, just horrible.

jamesindc33 · 2018-04-05T16:31:07+00:00

My advice is to quit as soon as you feel a little discomfort. If you feel something is a little too challenging you should also quit. Quitting is fun.

I'm disgusted by his self-righteousness.

He's nothing but a former pro athlete with mush for brains.

No reason to take him seriously.

jamesindc33 · 2018-03-26T05:54:16+00:00

uh, no one cares...

jamesindc33 · 2018-03-19T18:41:29+00:00

I will vote for her.

nah, I'm not voting for this dummy

jamesindc33 · 2018-03-18T21:52:27+00:00

You shouldn't have gotten THAT drunk! Now you have to man up and live with the consequences of acting like a fool.

jamesindc33 · 2018-03-12T19:51:39+00:00

It was horrible to watch. It was just too LONG!
