		<description>Hi Amp,

Thanks for the answer ;)
Keep us informed about your progress, reading others is really a motivation for my own quest.

I am sure they are other readers :)

		<description>Don&#039;t ya worry I think you are doing fine. I think your manager did you a favor by pushing you to voice. I know it&#039;s hard to do this without equipment but what I can recommend you is exploring one technology at a time. I made some mistakes during my R&amp;S process and that&#039;s why I am STILL working on it but I will make sure I don&#039;t do that for other tracks. If you have passed Written then great otherwise start with that blueprint and hammer at EACH technology at a time. You might be spending $$ on rack rentals but call this investment in your future and bite it. I have deployed a few CMEs but I dont think I will be of ANY help to you. Check with CCIEDownunder, he is starting on CCIE Voice also. I hope this helped.</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Hey Al,&lt;br /&gt;
Thanks for stopping by my blog. I now have 2 readers. :-D You are correct, working at night when the work load is hectic during the day can be an advantage for my CCIE studies; however one of the drawbacks is working at night has tremendously unstabilized my sleep habits amongst other things. Honestly I am unsure as to what schedule I want to work while pursuing the CCIE. In a perfect world I would work a hybrid schedule, something like 4am - 12pm. I&#039;m currently working for a Service Provider here in Cary, NC. There&#039;s only 3 here in the area, AT&amp;T, VerizonBusiness, and Embarq (Formerly Sprint).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;;-)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Amp&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>Hi,

I don&#039;t know if you realize that working during night it is a tremendous adavantage when you want to become a CCIE.
If I have the opportunity, I would made this choice. Because during day shift you are always disturb by customers and colleagues and you can&#039;t move forward. (simply reading a srnd is really difficult)

I Don&#039;t know if you want to answer to this question, but I try: Where are you actually working ?

Good luck in your quest!</description>
