a certifiable

I'm certified - again.  Both through ASQ (American Society for Quality).  It just means I can take a multiple-choice, open-book exam after almost 10 years out of college and in quality.  It also means I might actually be retaining some of the statistical rhetoric I have been fed in class after class at various jobs.  This time it is for my Six Sigma Green Belt, which is supposed to be a good way for me to assist others in improvement projects, I think.  I need to see if there's something around the house that I could apply this stuff.  Nothing at work fits the normalized bell curve.  Kind of hard to evaluate the capability of a process that way.  Which I actually learned when I was certified the first time - that one is my CQE (certified Quality Engineer), which was one of the hardest exams I think I ever took because I was about 11 weeks pregnant with Beca and I couldn't stand the smell of the paper in the books so I gagge every time I had to look up a question.  And I really shouldn't trivialize this stuff.
