i guess i was thinking that certification would give me some confidence
going into an interview (ie. that bit of paper works for me as well as
the employer)... but that just comes down to me not using my skills in the
real world enough, something that would make me more knowledgable and all
also provide references to back up my skills...

this is very reassuring... i just have to find more guinea pigs with
the "trust me, i'll be gentle" line... ;)
