Yup, and I'd put money on you having brain damage, if you had the time to listen to it a lot while on the run.

interestingly enough though they say for some forms of brain damage: better to keep the loonies ON the grass.

Correct, I believe the directions are take a hit, and breathe.

Well done! I'm just certified, I need to be to work here

Great! Congratulations.
My goal is to live forever. So far, so good. 
If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

Well done, remember to make 2020's goal re-doing all of your exams again because Microsoft has expired the ones you've just passed

Yeah, I got 70-532 just last year... This is basically just the replacement

Azure cert, well that's nice,
so... do you have at least 15 years of actual experience?
- no: sorry, not a suitable match
- yes: 15 years! sorry, but in that case you're too old for IT! "it's a young peoples game."
Hot tip:
5+ years experience in visual studio 2019 sure to impress
- they will be throwing jobs at you
(well, until next week when something else new is released.)

15+ years experience in life 
Here's an actual tip though, try to skip HR when applying for a job and connect directly with the people who know what they're talking about (in case of a NullReferenceException you don't want to work there)

The correct acronym is MCSE.
And it actually stands for Minesweeper Consultant / Solitaire Expert.

I might get that one. Any tips? What did you use to study?
Congrats on passing.

I've personally always placed very little value on these exams and certs, but recently I've learned I'm probably going to have to put myself through a few exams because the company I work for needs some number of people to have those certs in order to maintain its Gold Partner status, which gives us a lot of Azure credits.
So, there's one reason to get them...not that I'm a fan. For the last exam I had to take, I barely glanced at the review material and passed with a 100% score. Not trying to brag. Just commenting on its apparent value.

I recently got drawn into working on some COBOL code on a mainframe. Some of the code had comments indicating it hadn't been updated since 1995 and it made me realise that I hadn't worked on COBOL since 1985 (1984 actually writing any). So, nostalgia from about 35 years ago kicked in, especially when using a 3270 terminal (emulation) which I last worked on, actually designing and writing an emulator built into another product, in 2002.
How many of you have written code that you came back to years later, or at least worked in an environment or with a language you hadn't used for centuries (or it felt like it)?
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

In a way, all the time. My old Elf is still working, but gets a younger brother and an operating system after 40 years. All the time I have to dig out code going back to 1976, like the software/bit banging 300 baud RS232 or the cassette load or save routines.

I had been tinkering with the C64 Mini over the holidays...does that count?
I found myself surprised I still remembered what POKE 53280,0 and POKE 53281,0 did.
