    The AZ-103 Microsoft Azure Administrator[^] exam! :D They now have these "labs" where you have to complete some assignments in Azure. One service was a bit flaky, so I decided to keep it for last, at which point the entire browser hung and I couldn't complete the assignment... The exam worked, luckily, and I was able to finish it... Only to find that none of the FOURTEEN! "lab" questions was registered and were marked as "unanswered" :wtf: The guy who was sitting there called Microsoft twice, but they couldn't do anything about it now and we had to file a case. I told him to just finish it and got a passing score! :D It's unknown whether those fourteen questions were or weren't included in the final score (they probably were, or I'm a genius/very lucky), but the final judgement is "passed" so who cares!? :D Never had so much stress during an exam though X|

              Nope, happened to my other certificate though... Did 70-532 in April 2018, which became obsolete starting this year... :sigh: Already have the new AZ-203, which is the replacement. I'm just glad I didn't do 70-533 (the "old" AZ-103) or AZ-100 and AZ-101... :~

                Thank you! The hardest part was standing up to give my Dissertation Defense. But I did it. One thing is for sure, it's best not to have a stroke before the defense. But I never, in my entire life did anything the easy way. I wish I could have passed on the stroke, though, but at least I was being consistent.

                  Well, 14 questions out of 64 is about 22%, which would mean I could still get 780/1000 points if I did everything else right. The score probably doesn't work like that and it's most likely that those 14 questions are indeed included, but theoretically... :D

                      Best,

                      If I had the option to plan it, I would have gone to the hospital. My little brother was driving around, had chest pains, so drove to the closest hospital. He had a heart attack while in the emergency room. They moved him up to a room, performed 4 stints and he was out 2 days later and back to normal. I on the other hand, felt nothing besides tired with the stroke. I didn't even realize what had happened until they told me at the hospital after laying on the floor for two days. I was alone, so it took 2 days for someone to find me. I spent 2 weeks in the local hospital, then 3 months in the medical center in Hoiuston, then 3 months in intensive in-patient therapy. I went home, fell and broke a rib. ZBack to a hospital for 6 weeks, then back home for good. Early this year (Like January 1. I got too weak to stand up, so my children called emergency services who took me to the emergency room. I had an intestinal infection and was in sepsis. After 2 weeks of heavy antibiotics, I was strong enough to stand up, so they sent me back to a therapy facility for 4 weeks, then back home. Hopefully that's all the hospital that I want to see. The doctor told me 1) It's a miracle that I survived a massive stroke. 2) If I had gotten to a hospital in 4 hours instead of 2 days, they could have reversed the stroke damage and I would have been back to my ornery self. 3)Psychological and Psychiatric evaluations reveald that many brain was just fine. Interestingly after the stroke, I could only speak Spanish, but after 2 days, my English, German and Portuguese came back just fine, the experts have no idea why that happened.

                                        The AZ-103 Microsoft Azure Administrator[^] exam! :D They now have these "labs" where you have to complete some assignments in Azure. One service was a bit flaky, so I decided to keep it for last, at which point the entire browser hung and I couldn't complete the assignment... The exam worked, luckily, and I was able to finish it... Only to find that none of the FOURTEEN! "lab" questions was registered and were marked as "unanswered" :wtf: The guy who was sitting there called Microsoft twice, but they couldn't do anything about it now and we had to file a case. I told him to just finish it and got a passing score! :D It's unknown whether those fourteen questions were or weren't included in the final score (they probably were, or I'm a genius/very lucky), but the final judgement is "passed" so who cares!? :D Never had so much stress during an exam though X|

                                          Best,

                                          If I had the option to plan it, I would have gone to the hospital. My little brother was driving around, had chest pains, so drove to the closest hospital. He had a heart attack while in the emergency room. They moved him up to a room, performed 4 stints and he was out 2 days later and back to normal. I on the other hand, felt nothing besides tired with the stroke. I didn't even realize what had happened until they told me at the hospital after laying on the floor for two days. I was alone, so it took 2 days for someone to find me. I spent 2 weeks in the local hospital, then 3 months in the medical center in Hoiuston, then 3 months in intensive in-patient therapy. I went home, fell and broke a rib. ZBack to a hospital for 6 weeks, then back home for good. Early this year (Like January 1. I got too weak to stand up, so my children called emergency services who took me to the emergency room. I had an intestinal infection and was in sepsis. After 2 weeks of heavy antibiotics, I was strong enough to stand up, so they sent me back to a therapy facility for 4 weeks, then back home. Hopefully that's all the hospital that I want to see. The doctor told me 1) It's a miracle that I survived a massive stroke. 2) If I had gotten to a hospital in 4 hours instead of 2 days, they could have reversed the stroke damage and I would have been back to my ornery self. 3)Psychological and Psychiatric evaluations reveald that many brain was just fine. Interestingly after the stroke, I could only speak Spanish, but after 2 days, my English, German and Portuguese came back just fine, the experts have no idea why that happened.

                                          M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.
