Happy Thanksgiving, CIN!

[Rick Butler]

Yes, I know that there are a great number of non-US CIN'ers out here, and today is just another work day for y'all, but...to all of you here on the CompTIA Instructor Network in the US or elsewhere that are overloading on turkey and stuffing:

Happy Thanksgiving!

So, I'm going to do a thread and see if anyone wants to jump in, etc etc...

1) So, I had a great time at the CompTIA Summit this year - I got to meet a lot of you (and see a few of you in various states of inebriation, but still...). Notable folks that I got to meet for the first time would be @Llewellyn, @JanetAZ, @Laurie Seeder @bnguyen , @Brandon G , @Dwight Watt , @Mol_lyC , @iamthewhiz @MelisParker, @Jagger Coffey @Tilley IT Training @Mark Anthony Germanos, @TraceyO , @NikkiH, @LynW, @Kwabena Fred and a number of other folks (of whom I couldn't find your CIN tag).

(yes, this was also a shameless plug to get some more folks to post on the board...since we haven't seen them in a hot minute...)

2) I'm thankful that I was able to meet some major deadlines at work. We're rolling Anthology for our college, having bought up two other smaller schools, and with all that stress, I wanted to say that I'm grateful for having good folks to work with. If any of you folks are also doing admin for Anthology Student in your schools, I want to talk with you. DM me, if you would.

3) I'm gratified that, despite my crazy schedule, I got through at least a couple of exams this year, namely MS900 and SC900 from Microsoft, as well as DataSys+ (upcoming perhaps in a week or so). In a lot of ways, it's you folks and others like you that keep me going when I could just stop. I think that's the best thing we have going here on CIN. And a lot of you just got your SecurityX, which is huge - I'll go after mine in 2025, after re-upping on Cloud+, and maybe another SC from MSFT. So many tests...

4) And yes, I'm thankful all of you - the "usual suspects" or the "CIN Motley Crew" (you know who you are). You guys are just one reason why I can't ever get work done - because I'm out here, mixing it up with you.

Anyway, for those that are celebrating the holiday, Happy Thanksgiving. And if you're not...well...we'll still save you a piece of pie ala mode if you drop by.

Cheers,

Rick

inebriation? What does that mean? Is that some sort of slang? I'm not able to locate that in my dictionary!!!!

CIN Motley Crew? How does one become a member? I'm asking for the benefit of those who might wish
to join. I wouldn't mind joining, but I see that you use them as scapegoats for not being able to get work done -
like properly setting up a domain! The Blame Game - how convenient!!!

Thanks for your usual generosity with food offerings, but no pie for me. I'm watching my weight

Happy Thanksgiving Day!!!!

Yes, it's slang. It's that state that many folks will reach in the next 24 hours, particularly with certain family members.

Trevor, the CIN Motley Crew, as you know, is a highly selective group. If you're not sure you're in, then you probably aren't. I'd probably expect to know your status already, but seeing how easily confused you can get, particularly if you're already inebriated, I may have to defer answering this question until after you've awaken from the turkey coma.

Anyone that knows you, particularly those in the CIN Motley Crew, know that one or more slices of pie isn't going to be adverse to your physique. But if you're that concerned, you can always join me in the gym.

I've got to locate some of these CIN Motley Crew members. Are you able to at least share with me if they can be found on the Dark Web? I need to make a trip in that direction anyway. It would be nice to be able to kill two birds with one stone!!!

 

[Brandon G]

Happy Thanksgiving to all fellow CIN-ers.

I don't think they can be found on the Dark Web....but if they do, then you have to ask...why are you on the Dark Web, anyway? As for bird's well, just be happy with the one that you're enjoying for Thanksgiving.

And it was great to meet you in person in Atlanta, Rick. Let’s shoot for next year in Nashville. Which vendor will be sponsoring our cold brews?

Well, if you show up for the CIN'er Dinner, that would be CompTIA. Other than that, we're all dutch.

Unless you can sweet talk @Brian Ford or something... (but then, he's CompTIA too, so....)

All roads lead to Rome.
