Be careful what you wish for...

You'd think I'd have learned to be circumspect by now. You think I'd learn to do nothing and especially say nothing.

Maybe I was just subconsciously forcing a resolution on the matter after one too many meetings for one too many projects (although it was a weekend when I let it all out). Maybe it's just my scorpion genes.

Whatever: the result is that now I have a "timeline" set for my "transition" to the consulting world. I didn't quite pull a Dooce, but it comes pretty close. I didn't want things to end like this, but when you blather and post your name on something owned by google, it's no great surprise to have it be the first thing that turns up when someone searches on your name. Doh!

In other news, I did better on the Brainbench test than I thought:

C#
	Score	3.83
	Percentile	Scored higher than 86% of previous examinees
	Account Percentile	Scored higher than 94% of 6484 previous examinees within this account
	Proficiency Level:	Advanced (Master)
Demonstrates a clear understanding of many advanced concepts within this topic. Appears capable of mentoring others on most projects in this area.
	Strong Areas	Grammar Value and Reference Types Methods
	Weak Areas	Object-Oriented Programming Delegates Developing Data Consumers and Services Properties, Indexers, and Fields

W00t! I'm kinda peeved about OOP being a weak area, though: this all comes down to a vaguely worded question on containment versus aggregation, I think. Still, unlike the ProveIt test at Kforce, the Brainbench test gives some useful feedback.
