I def feel more productive when I'm slightly overloaded, since consulting pretty much was always overloading me.  The main drawback from all this is that it's a completely new system/I have no idea what work goes into this, so I'm a little overwhelmed because things are getting added to my plate and I don't...really know how to do them?  So I'm slowly working through that and trying to get that done.

I forgot how much I loved Trello and I'm back to using it again.

My company management pushes the philosophy that you work on 1 thing only, until it's finished. Then you start the next thing. It rarely actually works out like that (only 1 thing), but it does DRASTICALLY limit the priorities compared to other places that I've worked.

I rarely have more than 2 (sometimes 3) tasks at a time. And if something more important comes up, then the other stuff gets dropped. I probably have more on-hold projects than active projects.

@Chattaneer

If you don't think any of the answers listed were actually correct, you should contact NCEES. It's not uncommon for them to make an error on the exam. I contacted them about an AM question after I took the exam. I'm 99.9% sure they didn't provide enough info to answer the question. It happens. 

I was totally prepared to contact NCEES about at least one question, but I didn't see any on my exam that had discernible errors.

There was one question that I think only like 5 examinees could have answered definitively because it was so obscure, but none that were truly erroneous.

@JayKay PE i tried using trello when i started studying for the PE this time but quickly fell off of that. I like lists and organization but it didnt work for me

tbh, when I was studying for the PE, I just made a 'schedule' in my word document that was like "review this.  Do all the questions on this day.  Start this".

I like trello right now because the way the government work is going, as opposed to my consulting work, is there are a lot of projects that get started, then cancelled, or put into a holding pattern, that I want to keep track of...but if I do my normal method of paper+pencil, or list it out, I will def forget something.

I need to contact NCEES about the double question on Power (which im sure they know about by now) but also the lack of professionalism of the proctors

 Ha ha ha ha ha ha ah haa.  Oh god, I would have been killed in my previous job if it was a 'do one thing at a time'-philosophy!  I mean, I think I was juggling like tasks like "Finish FER", but that one task had like eighteen other tasks under it.  But then I was juggling other reports at the same time.

I might try it again for work tasks since everything is more concrete than studying for the test. I quickly went back to my pen and paper list for that

Jesus.  That's a soccer team with reserves.

 

[squaretaper LIT AF PE]

Yooooooo.  JK ain't having no kids anytime soon.  I'm living the high-life and drinking until 3:30am each weekend.

OMG, I would die. 5:15 is my wake up time. One drink and I'm done for 2 days.

Did she have to ask for permission?

I was under the impression that it was the coworker who was driving, so in that case, yes, I would ask permission.

He is driving, hence all mah spammin'

 

[Will.I.Am PE]

I imagine one day I'll be sitting in the living room on my phone looking at my bank account and saying, "Honey, I thought I got paid today." She'll then reply, "You did. We have 3 kids. Thanks."

I don't even have kids and that already happens...  :bawling:
