Gotcha. I didn't know that. I haven't heard much about the PPI class, I know a lot of folks here did EET. I took school of PE and thought it was pretty good and have a friend that used testmasters and his notes were very well done. My biggest piece of advice is to not rely on the class for your...

I work under the city engineer in a small Florida city. I will receive a decent raise and promotion after passing the exam. Also, typically a county or city will have a training budget and can help purchase various materials for your exam. Your current county engineer is not licensed? Have you...

I accidentally drank all the beer

My F-150 4x4 gets me through the harshest winters Florida has to offer.

I agree with waiting until everything is signed and finalized with your new company. You never know what can happen. I don't believe you owe any explanations to a current company other than its the best decision for your career and family. You are not married to your current employer and...

Enjoy!

I believe one family wanted FWC to keep the phone hoping they had a better chance to recover the data. I grew up just up the coast from where this happened and was always on the water around cocoa beach. It's a different way of life when you live on the water. We took 12' skiffs into the ocean...

Yea the venue wasn't too bad itself, although I would have liked to have an entire desk to myself.

Hard to say, but the Colts weren't very good prior to having Manning. I think he would have been successful anywhere because of his knowledge of the game. If another team got ahold of him, they would have spent the money to give him the pieces he needed.

Wow, what are the odds? I just won the lottery over there. The person in the email sounded nice, he just needed by SSN, DOB, bank account #, and full name. I went ahead and put my two weeks in at work since I should be getting the deposit in a few days!

It's tough. To be honest, no job is worth making you feel like crap all the time. There are ups and downs to any job and sometimes everything hits at once. Regardless of what you decide, do not burn any bridges. Write down what you plan to say, just so you know it. It can be a tough conversation.

My first suggestion would be to ask other junior engineers for reviews and advice on projects. Managers typically don't like to be bothered with a ton of small questions that could be answered by a coworker (not saying that is your case). Also, instead of multiple visits, compile a list of...

Well, I am still waiting for the results like everyone else, but I walked out feeling good.

I thought the practice exams helped me a lot, including the transportation depth. I am still waiting to see if I passed, but I studied based on the syllabus provided and did not rely on the practice test or even school of PE for my studying. I spent A LOT of time getting familiar with my manuals.

I studied just under 300 hrs, including the 80hr School of PE course. I started in December just reading through notes and then in January began problem solving and working through the references. I can't say if that was effective yet, since I won't know my score for another 8 weeks...

I sat for the test in Central FL and mine was white, with black grips.

Crap...I have already checked NCEES twice for my score. I think I'll become really good friends with Jonny Walker over the next couple months.

Message me an address. I'll send one your way.

I have a white one and one that is more of an ivory. The ivory is due to my excessive hand sweating while trying to calm down. I'd consider that more valuable, like a game worn jersey. Do. If you really want one, I can send it. Just let me know where.

I got two of them! Anyone collecting them? What's it worth to you?
