One thing this site lacks is a way to make quick status updates. Probably just as well; I'm getting more and more tired of Facebook's constant drama and outrage. 
Anyhow, just got done with my final round of ASE testing, and I got a proverbial gold star: I am now, once again, an ASE certified Master Mechanic.
So naturally, I'm at the Clannagh Pub, drinking a pint of Guinness to celebrate.
I could have drowned my sorrows in that same pint, so it was really a win/win situation.

*Huggles* congratulations!
So how else are you planning on celebrating? A single pint seems hardly enough for something this important.

Thanks!

I dunno what else I might do. Buy a cake, maybe.
Congratulations!
Congratulations! Certifications are always a good thing, (except for when you're certifiably insane>
...Thanks for that input, Pinkie. Ahem. Especially a certification in something as reliably in-demand as automotive repair.
I hope this leads to prosperity and all that.
Congrats!
Congrats!
Maybe it's your choice of images but I first read "drinking a pint of Guinness to celebrate" as drinking a pint of Genius..... Darn my brain
Many, many congratulations Georg! How long until you need to do it all over again?

It'd probably be easier to be certifiably insane than uncertifiably so
In the short term, I get nothing (the only possible promotion at my current location is to 'owner'). In the long term, though, if I want to go somewhere else, the certificate opens up a whole lot of doors.

That's how I always feel. Bartender came up, said 'what'll you have?'; I looked him right in the eye and said 'pint of Guinness.' He said 'good man,' and went to make my drink.

You were right about seeing the blog first

A pint of genius would be almost as good.

Alas, sorry to disappoint. Anyhow, the certs are good for five years.
I wish I was Georg
Congratulations to one of my favorite Fimfic authors!
Well congratulations, pardner.
Good on ya, dude!

I am *so*, *so* embarrassed, sorry about that. I was reading a story of his just before responding to your post :(
5 years is pretty good - it certs go for 2 years nowadays before you have to recertify.

Thank you!

Thanks! If only it came with a huge pay raise. . . .

Ah, it's all good. I got a chuckle out of it.
Probably because your stuff changes faster than ours. There's a longer lead time in the automotive world, and our methods of diagnosis and repair are typically much different than yours.
3601465 I have to go for my Latent Print Boards re-certification 18 months from now, You have my fullest sympathy...
