April 2021 Post Exam Wait Period - Welcome to the Suck

[al1bye911]

If nothing happens by noon, its not happening cuz you know half the NCEES office took today off and about a 1/4 will call it quits at noon. Only the bottom feeders will half to stick out the full day.

62 F in NY and clear sunny . It's beautiful out today but the weather man is saying that will rain tonight and the whole weekend

The rain is reflecting how we feel about this week.

I just made a student loan payment and got a confirmation email from Nelnet and my heart skipped a beat.

I'm about as optimistic about today as this guy is...

that was me a few minutes ago trying to stress-relieve by walking around the neighborhood (my poor substitute for smoking when I'm stressed).... except the wind is gusting 45mph the last hour..... and I'm not married to Tom Baker's daughter

Slow morning, indeed!

For those wondering, decent progress was made in the spam thread between yesterday and today, but there’s more work to be done! Think of it this way, spamming is more fun than refreshing F5 as fast as you can!

High of 68 today and 60 tomorrow? It's almost June? I'm so confused? WHAT ARE YOU, MIDWEST.

At least I'll be back in Texas for a bit next month, ready to melttttttttttttttttttttttttttt bring me all the heat.

Which state is historically the FIRST to get results?

Ah! Spent most of my elementary school years in VA Beach! Newtown Road Elementary and Thoroughghood. Would love to go back as an adult, haven't been back since I left in '94.

I went to Luxford off of Haygood Rd. then we moved to Chesapeake. Grew up going to Great Bridge, now raising my kids in the Hickory area.

Aw my brother was born in Chesapeake. That's awesome. I'd really love to visit now as an adult. Lots of good memories from elementary school.

I am beginning to think there must have been something screwy with the exams. Like maybe there was a question that way too many people got wrong and they had to investigate it further which is causing the delay. I don't get why it would take longer than usual otherwise.

I asked a bunch of questions to a friend that took the exam in January and she said the exam was pretty straight forward. None of the crazy crap we had on the afternoon portion of the Structural depth in October.

So maybe, just maybe there is some issue with the scores that they are trying to resolve? ugh I don't know. Trying to make sense of all this in my head probably doesn't do me any good. I won't be able to relax this weekend.

I wondered the same thing... Like, did the first set of results yield a 22% pass rate or something crazy that they had to revisit??? WHYYYYY is it taking this long

I feel you! After that ridiculous ice storm in February, I never want to experience Winter ever again

You people and you 70+deg. weather... and here I am sitting in a longsleeve thermal, hoodie and freezing my ass off cuz it's currently 51F outside.

Ah I couldn't believe what you all went through! Nuts. People make fun of Texans for winter, but they have no idea just how freaking hot it is for most of the year. Like, yeah, after 3-4 months of 100 degree weather, 60 degrees will feel cold to you too.

It wasn't just that we had record low temperatures, it was also the fact that most of the state didn't have power during those record lows! So no way to heat your home during the worst of it :0

But yeah, you get used to those triple digit heat days. Everyone complains, but I'm just like, "Sweet! Perfect weather to jump in a pool!"
