Someone I work with is an extremely close talker. Usually, he catches me in the hall so I can only back up as far as the walls will let me. I am a very "private" person in terms that I get very uncomfortable when my personal space is invaded by anyone, especially by someone I am not to fond of...

What is the ratio of men to women on this board? If it is anything like when I graduated college...I am guessing it is a legion of men to handful of women (I graduated in a class of 200 - with 6 females). Edit: Also, what is the ratio where you work? I work with in a dept of 13 and am the...

I know there were a few of us that did a practice exam this weekend. How did you guys do? If the real exam is as close as the practice exam I took today (I did the one by Lindeburg) then I am in trouble! Which sucks big time since I have been studying for almost a year now!!!! I wanted to...

I was just wondering how many of you are able to work the problems without peaking at the answers? I have worked tons of problems (got 5 notebooks to show for it), but I still don't feel comfortable enough to work them without help from the solutions. And this has me a bit freaked out since...

CEPP Ch 74 Problem 2g asks what the uphill percent time following is? The solution to the problem references HCM Exhibit 20-21 for the coefficient values of a and b. But when I compared what the CEPP put down for the coefficients a and b, they didn't match anything the HCM said. This also...
