So it seems now that every monday evening I am stuck in training.
I was doing 70–299 self-paced training and getting closer to that exam point,
but apparently my employer thinks its more usefull to know Exchange.

Dont mind Exchange at all, but the guys instructing us, though knowledgable, are not the most skilled at bringing across that knowledge, or reading the kind of audience they have, and how their information is being recieved on the other end.

Also, as usual, the Microsoft MOC (Official Corriculum) courseware sucks completely, I’ll take a self-paced training book from MSPress over these MOC’s anyday!
