CISM results and study approach

I recently got my much anticipated results for the CISM exam. I was a bit nervous because many of my coworkers from other locations were getting their ISACA results and I hadn't heard anything. Turns out it's because I'd requested results be mailed to me as opposed to electronic notification.

The way I'd approached the CISM  is that I didn't actually read the book. I just took a few practice exams and then took more focused exams on my week spots.

I'm not yet eligible for the CISM, but it's good that I'm done with my department's 3 core security certs (CISSP, CISM, CISA).

Latest add to the watch collection- 70's Hamilton 10k gold


Here's the latest add the watch collection. It's a 70s period Hamilton 10k gold watch with a black leather strap. At this point in Hamilton's history, they've moved from using American made movements to Swiss made movements. I got it for $100 and I'm pleased with my first automatic movement watch. The crystal is a bit scratched and the case has a nick in it. The watch runs for about 10 hours, so it needs some maintenance.
