Found out by e-mail that I did not pass the CISSP test. I scored a 691 and needed a 700 tp pass. Crap! 2 questions I missed it by. Dammit. I guess I gotta knuckle under, study me arse off, and retake it hopefully sooner than later.

I guess that means those $300/apiece (ISC)2 Number 2 pencils are holding their value after all.

Seriously, everybody I know has been incredibly supportive. My pals have offered their notes to me to help study. Another friend has offered up his Transcender study aids, and 'both' of my bosses have offered to pay for the re-test. If I didn't feel so crappy about not passing the test in the first place, I'd have to say that life is pretty good right now.

I don't think anybody I'm referring to will ever read this, but "Thanks Guys - it really means a lot to have the support and encouragement of great friends such as yourselves."
