Weeeeeird. That's a new one!

One guy who started last year keeps asking me why I say it like that.  

Me: I dunno, thats what Joe, Brad, Matt, and Gary all call it.

Let's try to make this forum more pragmatic. Guys, what would be your reactions/strategies to recover from desperation and get back to normalcy if it turned out you didn't make it this time?  With about the same amount of preparation (of course more focused and efficient), will our chance of passing  in the next try would be even slimmer? 

you're no fun

She's a fairly talented songwriter and would like to explore taking her talents to the Country and Christian scene.

Neato! I say, life is short so as J. Campbell says, "follow your bliss and don't be afraid."

Reaction: Well, I gave it the old college try.

Strategy to Recover: See post on stoicism. Prepare for failure ahead of time.

I assure you we wouldn't be living anywhere near downtown.

Not for a guy from California (*places emphasis on every syllable*), but for TN, yes.

 

[Will.I.Am PE]

Is Nashville expensive? No idea.

Not compared to California. (Even the valley, frankly.)

Well, that's the reality half of us must face. No harm in some preparaiton for the possible 'contingencies".

In cali? I think you meant "I'm hungry and warm"

Its 33 degrees where I am at nearly mid day.

So is ISA who conducts the standards setting meeting?  If so, is it worth a shot to try calling them and just asking when the meeting is scheduled for?  

Yesterday I nearly called but then came to my senses consistent with the post below. Still tempting knowing these are likely the folks everyone is waiting on.

Please don't!

Everyone just let it be. People are stressed out and someone might accidentally come off as harassing. The results will be out soon enough. We're still probably in the 8-10 week window.

In a couple months, no one will care about a 1-4 week slip from the "normal" Day-40ish date.

Murfreesboro would probably be the best area, but still like 15% greater than the average TN cost of living.

@squaretaper PE Nashville's horse stables are 100x nicer than my house.
