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.
