Slowly attempting to book through United.

Is this hell?  Who did I disappoint in a past life?

I used to exclusively fly United. I guess I'm just a masochist.

Now that I'm not a frequent business traveler, I'm perfectly okay with Air Greyhound (southwest)

The real motivation for that post is that I don't think NCEES really gives the furry crack of a rat's behind what we think about the test... particularly as they transition to CBT.

In all seriousness, it doesn't have anything to do with the CBT transition.

Today I am dressed as Vampurr. Everyone else is dressed as a coworker to celebrate his birthday. That seemed risky for me to do since I'm new here and I was unsure if he would take it well, so I passed.  He took it very well so now I'm getting **** for not dressing up, which is the best case scenario.

I took off the cat ears though, because we have senior management in the office today and it seemed a bit much.

The only problem with CBT is the almost strip search.

Hooboy, the candy pushers are out in full force. I'm already too chunky people! I'm weak!

I had a donut this morning. Might have some Halloween candy tonight as I pass it out. LIVE FAST DIE YOUNG

Eh, my one and only experience with United was a bit of a ****-show.  Unfortunately, the airline I like to use (JetBlue) doesn't fly from Indy.  So it's either Delta, United, or American.  Delta doesn't fly all throughout the week, and since I have $150 in vouchers for United (from the unfortunate flight), I'm attempting them again.

**** them.  I'm happy you stuck to your guns and did what felt comfortable to you!  No one in my office is dressed up, but that prob has to do with us being the engineering department for a hospital.

And I want cute TXJ cat pics!

meh, they probably apathetic about it. Truthfully their "customers" are the state boards, not the examinees. The Boards are more concerned with ensuring that the profession licenses competent individuals to protect people, society, and the profession. The NCEES tests are just a standardized means that end. The test needs to be fair, dependable, and reliable means of demonstrating proficiency in the profession.

Haha same!  I'd rather do what feels right than cave so I don't stand out.

I'll send a pic via snapchat!  And I'm dressing Apollo up as a bumble bee for Halloween, so definitely will share pics of that.

So this was post merger with Continental?

Yeah, that went super poorly. Still is. That was the glass breaking moment that made me switch airlines.

Obviously you've never been to a CBT test by NCEES - less than fun.

I've always wanted to be that house, ever since I was a kid.

The rich neighborhood in the next town over....they have FULL-SIZE candy bars just sitting in a bucket outside.

 

[Booo]

Vampurr.

Thats amazing

Exactly, if I'm gonna be strip-searched it's gonna be because I paid for it. Oh wait...

But for how long?

Yeah, it was a month ago that I had the 'incident'.  I'd switch airlines but it's very slim pickings out here in the midwest/it's not exactly a hub of crazy air carriers.

Thats coming up for you in Q1 Q2 2020
