OMG, this is me

I knew that...I just had a miss-match of the number of jobs and references that was giving me heartache.  Also anxiety over the form/format/length.  Also, anxiety about results.  Also, just anxiety. But having more info always helps quell the anxiety, so thank you!

This is so helpful - it matches my situation almost exactly.  Of my two jobs only my current job now has PEs.  So, I was trying to figure out who to send my "engagement" write ups too.  It sounds like for my old job/engagement (with no PEs) I send that to any one of my references, and for the...

Okay, I'm tracking. Thank you very much for this information!  I have some work to do on mine.  I'm trying to pull the trigger on sending it to the board this week.

I took the exam in April.  If you're feeling a little lost on how to start, I would highly recommend the School of PE prep course.  They really nailed it.

Great topic- Radiolab and This American Life are my favorite. I can't believe Sword and Scale hasn't been mentioned.  It's a true crime podcast which has great producing, and all the backlog is online-there is a ton of content.  It's dark but fascinating.

Sounds like we need some more water truth bombs...

Beer counts too!

Water...a topic to bring an introvert out of lurkdom?  yup So, I used to keep track on my white board.  Every time I drank a glass of water (a regular sized glass) I would give myself a tick mark.  It was pretty satisfying ticking away.  I would try to get to eight which I had always heard to...
