Morning. The problem with falling asleep at 8pm is waking up at 4am and not being able to get back to sleep. I see a nap in my not so distant future. I guess I had a hard week if I feel asleep so early in the evening.

Good news came by email yesterday. You may or may not remember--and I may or may not have mentioned it. I just doubled checked the old blog and apparently I hadn't mentioned this before...so here it is. Back in October I wrote the first half of my HR designation and found out in December that I had passed. Wanting to get it finished and have the actual designation (and yes, more letters behind my name LOL) I signed up to write in May. I'm not sure why I thought that was a good idea considering I was arriving back from India 5 days before the exam but I did. One day in India I suddenly stood up, stopped what I was doing and let out a few swear words along with "I'm writing an exam in a few days." By the time I arrived back in Canada it was too late to postpone the exam so feeling stressed about the lack of a job and knowing I was travelling the very next day to FMMA and still being jet lagged I wrote. I was the first one to leave the room.

Here's the thing. I hate tests. I've had to write a few minor tests since arriving and my stomach always ends up in knots before I write and I am in a panic that I might not pass...I always do...but I suffer from test anxiety.

Anyway...I left the exam and felt that at the very least I knew what to expect in October when I re-wrote the exam...all this to say that I will not be re-writing in October....I passed. I can now officially put CHRP behind my name...too bad my business cards just came in. LOL. I am a Certified Human Resources Professional. WHOOOO HOOOOO!!!!!

Insert Happy Dance here...
