There was a weird hurrilame weekend. Plans were canceled and housework was done. I spent the weekend putting a proper work bench in my garage and even painted the floor. How very butch of me.

There is something nice about having a workshop in a time when the world is moving so fast around us. A place to gather your thoughts, plan something out and build it - the most basic form of happiness and expression.

The world moves too fast sometimes. We all need to enjoy the view, slow down and be happy.

Pics of the garage soon.

After about a year and a half of studying and applying almost 5000 hours of project management experience.... and lots of cramming, I passed my PMP exam! This means I am a certfied Project Manager with all that it entails.

Here is some background for those not in the know:

The PMP® designation following your name demonstrates to current and potential employers that you possess a solid foundation of experience and education in project management that can have a positive impact on bottom-line results. In fact, the certification exam is so important that many project managers are required by their companies to become certified in order to retain their positions. Many who acheive the certification have received raises, bonuses or promotions as a result.

Recognizes your Expertise in Project Management : The PMP is the project management credential of choice for numerous industries and companies. By attaining the PMP credential, your name will be included in the largest and most prestigious group of certified professionals in the project management community. The PMP designation following your name tells current and potential employers that you have a solid foundation of project management knowledge that can be readily applied in the workplace.

Better Salary : Based on a survey carried out by PMI, PMP Certified project managers get about 20% more than similarly qualified Project Managers who do not have the prestigious PMP credentials

Better Job Opportunities : In spite of the bad job markets in the recent past, the requirement for qualified Project Managers has been increasing exponentially. Based on surveys, there are 20% more jobs than PMP Certified Professionals available. This has created an extremely good job market for Project Managers who have the PMP credentials. With the requirements for qualified Project Managers expected to increase exponentially in the future, the job market for PMP Certified managers will get better.

Officially recognized by leading companies: PMP certification is officially recognized by several leading organizations (e.g. Microsoft, IBM, American Express etc to name a few) who actively endorse the PMP certification and encourage their project managers to get PMP Certified. This has helped in making PMP certification as the de-facto industry standard for Project Managers.

You must meet the following requirements:
Minimum of 35 hours of Project Management classroom instruction (effective January 2002)
Bachelor’s degree and 4,500 hours of project management experience over 3 years/36 months
7,500 hours of project management experience over 5 years/60 months (if NO degree)
Complete and submit the PMP® certification application directly to PMI®
Pass the 4-hour "computer-based" 200-question exam
