April 2019 Post Exam Wait Period - Welcome to the Suck

[PE_Wannabe]

I just had an Email from ASCE pop up and that stopped my heart..  They need to get on with this so we can get back to work!

 

[RBHeadge PE]

And that is why I told very few people I was taking it. I told my gramma, who I talked to weekly, 2 days before I took the test. She now asks me if I know every time we talk. 

Unless my direct supervisor told him, , I'm fairly certain the guy who has to approve my expense report if I pass doesn't even know. 

You might be cut out for a carreer in national secuirty.

P.S. The bean-counters always know. Even when *you* destroyed all the records, they printed and kept a copy somewhere.

Is Texas historically released early in the day?  I expect that I will my my results sooner than most on this board as AL, I was told, is quite early.

I haven't seen any pattern with Texas per se. IIRC never early in the first day (east coast time) but I could be wrong,

Well I am going to be useless at work the next few days then.  Too busy hitting F5.

I REALLY shouldn't keep my personal email open, but I am going to anyways.

Why not? company policy? Can you have a personal phone with email app at your desk?

That reminds me:

1) If you get any mailers for PDH's or continuing ed, or PE study courses, or invitations to join asce: they are not signs that you passed one way or another. You're on a mailing list. Treat it like junk mail.

2) It been almost five years since I passed and I still get mailers for PE study classes!

3) Why is ASCE inviting me to join? I'm not a civil engineer, and I don't pretend to be one.

Nah, it's just every time I see a new email pop up, my anxiety spikes. I am taking my meds though, so I am not nearly as bad as I was last year.

Hah, probs not. I largely kept it quiet to keep the stress lower and to keep it away from my annoying AF  and nosey coworker

I GET THEM TOO! WHY?! Such a waste of resources.

My mom always says "oh you got mail." It's from ASCE. I AM NOT CIVIL. Leave me alone.

These next few days are going to be the worst to wait for.... I remember feeling this way for the FE exam results but my wait was only like a week or two and it was much more predictable.

For me it's the exact opposite.  I took the FE right after school and I didn't really care if I passed or not, barely studied, it was a requirement for graduation to register for it.  I didn't even see the email until the next day.

I studied for two months for the PE though and I'm really anxious for my results.

I mean...I've been useless at work since I graduated from college in June 2013.  My PE results will have no impact on that.

It happened to me everytime. I waited for the results come out and was too tired to keep up waiting. And one day when I stopped waiting, the result came out..
