Well!  Finally after a few months of waiting since completeing then needed classes, Dish Network has let me take my level 2 technicians exam!  And i passed!
This achievement will give me a 5% raise.  And more difficult calls.  I'm now a "TSR II".

That day 3 of my teammates were told they were scheduled for the test, one of whom had never taken any of the classes! But i wasn't! So i was kind of angry about that all day. But then at the end of the day, it turned out that i was on the list, after all! I had been listed under the wrong supervisor for some reason! So i took the test without having had any time to study for it (since i didn't think i was going to be allowed to take it)-- and passed--barely, 80% was needed and i got 81%!

Interestingly, 1 of the other 3 failed, and the one who had never taken any of the classes passed with the highest percentage (95%)-- although he did study all day.

Not much new otherwise, just finished reading 'Tis, continuing to read Maitreya Buddha Amitaba has Appeared.  Watching movies and tv shows on DVD-- or at the Dollar movie theater.  And having fun at Aikido classes.  And made a new friend in Colorado Springs.
