My mum always asks about the “big exam” and last week she legit asked me if i was hiding the results from her coz she knows i retook it and I was SO offended.I've had this exact interaction with family members, coworkers, other EITs who haven't taken the test... This cuts deep.
Honestly, if results DO come out on Friday and I pass... I'm making Friday the 13th my new favorite day. I'm just glad I wasn't an April 2018 exam taker, because their test date was on Friday the 13th. Talk about an omen.Friday 13th is a good date to get any results
Rivers flowing backwards, speaking in tongues, the lamb lying down with the ox, swords being beaten into plowshares, a holiday season without a million articles about how to convince your relatives to agree with your political views@RBHeadge PE what would be a sign of result release?
Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together, mass hysteria.@RBHeadge PE what would be a sign of result release?
What are these subtle signs that we should be looking out for?
What are the subtle signs that may indicate a release is near???? Did you tell us before and I've just forgotten in my hysteria????

I've had this exact interaction with family members, coworkers, other EITs who haven't taken the test... This cuts deep.The worst:
Individual approaches and ask about "that big test you took". Smiling expecting to hear you say...."I passed"
You (with no emotion): "The results have not been released yet."
Asking individual: "Oh Wow, That was a awhile ago I would have thought you would know by now."
You (still trying to hold it together, because you know they don't understand the torture): "I know....they say 8-10 weeks"(mad at yourself for using that response)…..you contemplate going into the lengthy analysis of when you think it will be but decide they will think you are crazy. So you say nothing.
Asking individual: "You're smart, I'm sure you passed."
You stare at them trying to come up with words to describe the RAGE inside you, as you remember the countless hours of studying.
You in your head:"Just because I am an Engineer doesn't mean I passed the purposefully engineering test made just for engineers. It just means I'm smarting than you."
Then you decide it isn't worth it and respond with: "Thanks, we will see"
You walk away dead inside.
Nope, it was my mistake. I own up to them. Good catch.I just wanted to make sure my reading comprehension was correct. I appreciate your time!
I started taking the PE on Friday the 13th (very much unprepared I found out) and if I get the results also on Friday the 13th it will be almost like completing something the day I started it but I have never had an issue with Friday the 13th since my husband and I got married that day by choice!Honestly, if results DO come out on Friday and I pass... I'm making Friday the 13th my new favorite day. I'm just glad I wasn't an April 2018 exam taker, because their test date was on Friday the 13th. Talk about an omen.
Mass hysteria? Check!Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together, mass hysteria.
^Okay, this one is true.Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together, mass hysteria.
I beg to differ. Ice cream comes from milk. Milk comes from cows. Cows eat grass. Grass is basically a salad. So, ice cream = salad. "Mom, I had salad for dinner."do not tell your mother you ate ice cream for dinner
