`Twas the Night Before Christmas Eve
I have finished delivering my 31st class for Red Hat. This is something like the 25th certification exam that I have proctored. At the end of the exam, I have to get the information to Red Hat that they need and someone there will process the data and, eventually, the determination is made as to where there are any new RHCT or RHCE certified individuals.
This week, however, ends on the 23rd of December. I'm in Anaheim, California (Pacific time) and Red Hat's Headquarters are in Raleigh, North Carolina (Eastern time). I sure hope no one has to stay and wait for my results file to arrive. But, just in case, I decided to try to give them a little extra Holiday cheer by writing this extra little email to send along (it only took me 3 minutes, in case you were curious):
--
Holiday Reveler,
Twas the night before Christmas Eve,
And all through the Raleigh office,
Not a creature was stirring,
Not even for a purpose.
The candidates were drive to their homes with great care,
Visions of Red Hat Certificates in the air.
When out from the notebook of the Instructor there flew,
The files so carefully constructed for you.
And as the Instructor left for his flight,
He was heard to say, "Merry Christmas to all!
"And to all a good night!"
--
If you are Christian: Merry Christmas.
If you are Jewish: Happy Hanukkah.
If you are neither: I'm sorry, but I do not know what the specific well-wish should be for your holiday of choice, so I'll simply wish you Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year.
