Today, I start the journey with my CCNP text books. The first book that I plan to start with is ROUTE by Kevin Wallace! Join me as I lab, cry and focus on my goals of achieving CCIE and CCAr status over the next few years!
Edit: do I want to go the CCDP route? I may… I’ll post again after I make it past the Route and Switch exams.
Seriously, for those things that were not taught on the CCNA…
Get the book here: https://www.amazon.com/Network-Warrior-Everything-Need-Wasnt/dp/1449387861 (again, unaffiliated… Amazon, we need to fix this)
This year, my colleague, the guy who helped me accelerate my learning and encouraged my professional growth (James Huval, A.k.a, JimmyJams) purchased a book for me from our local book sale…
It’s probably the greatest gift/book meme I could have ever received.
Sure, it was probably purchased because of its direct representation of me as a grumpy – know it all (No-It-All), but I also feel like it may have been purchased because of my tender fluffiness… I’m not totally sure, and I’m not going to ask.
All seriousness aside, you should read it. It’s worth the chuckle. P.s. IT HAS STICKERS! “No” Stickers!!

I usually cringe at titles and books about things like time management and organization. Often times, it’s repeated information or 100% common sense. At least, for me.
This is a great book with some amazing tips. I can tell you that I check my emails immediately, which this book recommends that you check it during designated block segments during the day… RUDE!
Seriously, read the book.
