Thank you, internet stranger

Just sign up for EB Mafia and help vote him off like I (and probably a half dozen other people) plan on doing.

Honestly, today is the first Monday that I feel like I don't want to do anything, no online meeting, no plan review, no site visit, .... nothing. have several dues and prep meeting, just want to go home instead.  

wish could fast forward the time.   lease:

Look at it this way:  From now on, you'll be able to easily solve time-dilation-curve problems.

If I was smart enough to solve time dilation problems, I wouldn't be worry about PE exam at all!   :true:

Less than one hour away from NCEES closing January exam registration...

 

[DoctorWho-PE]

I'm also really sick of hearing "I'm sure you passed" or "I'm sure you did fine" from literally everyone I talk to.  I appreciate the support, but jeez.

Right?  I'm the one who took it.  I KNOW how horrid I did. Just waiting on the NCEES confirmation.

I've only had to solve a time dilation problem once in my professional career. I can't imagine its that common. And FWIW, I was worried about my PE result both times...

I'm sure you passed

@jean15paul_PE beat you to that joke

Assuming you passed... has anyone considered how you'll tell your family, coworkers, etc.? Simple call or text? In person with a simple "I passed."? Something kinda over the top? Or maybe you've not yet considered it because it'd be a huge let down if you don't pass? Just asking... 

I'm an older guy with five kiddos ranging from 10 up to 23 - I started college late, passed the FE long after my peers because I suck at tests - and this is my second time on the PE. I actually feel good about the exam - as long as I don't think too much about it!

My wife and kiddos are crazy supportive of me - I'm a blessed guy. My 13 year old daughter baked me a cake Saturday evening after I got an awesome buck Saturday morning. That's my little gumbo girl

Anyone harassed the NCEES chat reps today to see if results will be released?

 

[civilrobot PE etc etc]

Real talk, I genuinely thought results were going to be released today. Silly me. Probably tomorrow or Wednesday.

I won't be able to contain my excitement if I pass so there probably won't be any planning other than a phone call lol

2 years ago when I passed the PE. I sent a message to my wife immediately.

It was a cactus emoji which is an inside joke, but the point of it is that a dancing cactus means good news. She got it immediately.

I don't remember how I told my supervisor. I think I might have forwarded him the email from NCEES or something.

i can't think that far ahead.  First time taking it and honestly my gut feeling was it wasn't as bad as I had led myself to believe it would be.  That's the feeling that freaks me out the most.  I either passed and did very well or a failed miserably because I fell in every trap/trick...My anxiety is already through the roof and I'm not sure i could put all my effort into a laser light show and fighter jet fly-bys to find out I failed.  So, I'll settle for the bottle of Jameson 18 Year I bought and have been saving as I wait for my hopefully positive result.  If I pass, I'll drink it happily.  If I failed, I'll drink it in one sitting...

I texted my fiancé last week "omg guess what" and he assumed that was me telling him that I passed, but really I had just finished the regular season of my fantasy league in first place
