JK- I frickin' love that song

Much more upbeat than AND SO THIS IS CHRISTMAAAAAAS.  But I like that one too.

Fingers crossed last time I accepted a job hire freeze messed that up and this we may have furlough.

The jokes just keep coming in this thread!

Wasn't meant to be a joke. Anytime after Monday 10AM EST seems viable.

 

[RBHeadge PE]

But of course that means that Tuesday Dec 6, Thursday Dec 8, Tuesday Dec 13 are viable too.

Welcome to the public sector.

Sir, I want to buy these shoes for my Mama, please
It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size
Could you hurry, sir, Daddy says there's not much time
You see she's been sick for quite a while
And I know these shoes would make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight~

MY TEETH ARE CLENCHED AND GRINDING SO HARD.  THIS SONG MAKES ME SO ANGRY FOR SOME REASON.

I can tolerate Christmas music for like a 5 day period, Dec 21-25. And it needs to be rock, and a little sarcastic.

Forget the classics

I think in the original post I was assuming you meant Monday...October 29, 2018 (the Monday right after the exam), and I was like, "The results will be out that fast when bagels stop being the most delicious food"

Are you thinking about the shit down on Dec 7?

 

[DoctorWho-PE]

seems legit

FWIW the original post was meant as tongue in cheek. I meant to try to fill up a few more pages with spam, but I got called away on another task.

No worries on my end.  

 

[JayKay PE]

Time for another cup of tea.

Yeah no. Even with CBT it won't be that fast.

I actually pre-wrote a bunch of posts for this cycle. I was tired of repeating posts every cycle for when the same gd questions come up. So I decided to consolidate it all. Not sure it mattered...

I just haven't sat down to write the post-exam stages one. It sort of doesn't matter though. Post release, all hell breaks loose, and things happen fast (or slow) depending on the state. Excitement takes over and most readers (who are ghosting anyway) stop caring. That post-release pass stages is mostly just nostalgia for the vets.

Really the only important post-release thread is to tell people not to add PE after their name immediately after they pass. Actual legal and ethical implications there. I wrote that one already.

The post-release fail "stages" post could also be helpful. But I lack the emotional IQ to draft it properly. Luckily someone else almost always does. Ideally it should be a rallying, lift the spirits thing. I'm too factual and sarcastic for the task. For me to write that post, I'd have to post it like "now",, so that it doesn't feel callous post-failure.

once, my first day was the monday after a friday mass layoff

Favorite bagel flavors?

I prefer egg.

But I also like salt, because it's the closest thing I can get to a proper soft pretzel down here. Not that it's *that* close either.

Wow, how'd that work out? Were you in a different position or group than the layoffs?

 

[CocoNut]

Using my test watch for timing potty training. Seems like a good use.

 

[CocoNut]

My favorite bagel is everything

yes; it was a multi-discipline thing, but definitely put a damper on my excitement for the new job!

Yup! Me and my supervisor just went over the procedure just case since she will be out until Jan

 

[JayKay PE]

Yeah no. Even with CBT it won't be that fast.

You've got too big a heart.  I could def see how the board goes dead after results come out and nobody posts any more "Where are the BLANK state results coming out"-threads.  I am thinking I might stick around after the results, whether I pass or fail, because it seems like there is a pretty cool group of people on the board that are fun to chat with.
