Over the course of my studies I have read many many CCIE blogs and the same wisdom always seems to come up. “When studying for the CCIE you can’t have ANY social life. Say goodbye to your friends and family for the next 18-24 months.”
Up until this point that has been pretty much what I have done. Aside from the occasional birthday, or Longhorn football game I have kept my nose in the books. It’s starting to feel like a recipe for burnout. I don’t think the CCIE is something you can do casually but I am not so sure you can’t make a little bit of time for your own mental sanity.
In light of my new revelation I am saying “Screw conventional wisdom” and I am going to let my Geek Flag Fly. Inspired by reading about Gabe’s (from penny arcade) Dungeons and Dragons exploits I am jonesing to play again. I haven’t played DND in over 10 years but I think its time to get a game going.
The problem now is finding a willing group, I have a couple friends who I am pretty confident will play 1 night a week but a good game takes 4-5. Anyone in Austin TX feel like gaming?
