Lol, I'm just wondering if any of you are experiencing the same thing. Check it:

Them: "So how did you do on your test?"

Me: " Don't know yet. Probably won't find out 'til the first of the year."

Them: "Damn, that's terrible, why does it take so long?"

Me: "It's a long boring story, they review the questions, etc. It takes 8 to 12 weeks. It sucks but what are you gonna do?"

Them: "Oh well, let me know when you find out."

Me: "Will do, thanks. See ya around."

[SIZE=14pt]SEEMINGLY LATER THE SAME DAY, ALTHOUGH IT COULD BE AS MUCH AS 3 DAYS LATER...........[/SIZE]

Same "Them" as before: "So how did you do on your test?"

Me: "I won't find out 'til the first of the year."

Same "Them" as before: "Damn, that's terrible, why does it take so long?"

Me: "Haven't we covered this ground?"

Same "Them" as before: "I don't think so."

Me: "Well they review all the questions, takes some time. 8-12 weeks."

Same "Them" as before: "Man, that sucks, let me know how you did when you find out."

Me: "Sure thing, thanks."

A FEW DAYS LATER.........

EXACT Same "Them" as before: "So how did you do on your test?"

Me: "I told you already."

EXACT Same "Them" as before: "Really?"

Me: "I'll tell you when I know something. Go away."

I've had some variation of the above conversation with at least 5 different people from work. My status doesn't directly affect any of them but it's interesting to learn who really listens to you when you speak.

Defnitely had that one.

Similar to the "when is your wife gonna have the baby?" question. They just don't remember.

I think instead of saying "2 months" or something like that, it might be better to give a firm date, "January 3". That's a little more concrete and they should be able to bite onto it better.
