The plan for when the envelope arrives....

[RIP - VTEnviro]

I highly recommend diving into a pool of gin and inhaling deeply. :multiplespotting:

 

[fredstr01]

We were supposed to be working this week?? :multiplespotting:

 

[lev280]

let me assure you that you are not the only one. I have some pretty serious deadlines...but i am afraid i can't help stay away from EB long enough...

I am thinking that once I get the letter, either way, my productivity is bound to increase. I can't stop reading this board long enough to get anything done!

Ok, this makes me feel better. At least I'm not alone. Oh, look its almost time to head home and check the mailbox!

[AhhCrap]

I will probably find out while I'm at work since Texas posts the results thru the TBPE website before the letter hits our mailboxes. That being said here is my plan...

If I pass:

1. Check my results again just to make sure someones not F**kin' with me.

2. Make a couple laps thru the office hooting and hollering like deranged loony.

3. Continue on out the back door and to my truck and drive to my favorite watering hole.

4. Call my wife, between pulls off a frosty beverage, telling her the news and to let her know where she can find me.

5. Drink

6. Drink

7. Drink

8. Use the facilities.

9. Drink

10. Drink

11. Drink

12. Use the facilities and call my wife at the same time to have her come pick my drunk arse up.

13. Debate on whether or not to pick my phone up which I just dropped into the urinal.

14. Decide to just leave it there and proceed out to wait on my wife to drive me home.

15. Call in sick to work the next day So I can sleep off the hangover.

If I fail:

Delete "hooting and hollering like a deranged loony" from No. 2 above and replace with the following:

"crying like a little baby"

It sucks to know that because I did not pass on my first attempt the odds of me passing have been cut by 50% (based on the pass rates on EECS).

I wouldn't think of it like that. The odds of your passing have more to do with your preparation than with national pass rates.

This always reminds me of a class I took in school. The final was optional, the only people who took it were those who hoped to improve their semester grade. The prof warned us, though, that only about 10% of the people who took it actually did improve their grade. I made damn well sure that I had a 100% chance to be in that 10%. (And it was a bear. Microbiology, fill-in-the-blank exam. Stupid Gen Ed requirements...)

Even though I had the pass letter in my hand, it took weeks for it to sink in that I had passed the exam. :multiplespotting:

It will be more like ... replace with

. That is certainly how I felt. The thing to remeber, is if you do have to retake the exam get your rant on and feel bad, but then resolve within yourself that you can do better and WILL do better. :multiplespotting: :th_rockon:

I like AhhCrap's plan. Very detailed. :appl:

With organizational skills like that, you must have passed ...

 

[Dark Knight]

I had plans for the day I was going to open my passing letter but when I felt that it was only one single sheet on the envelope, I knew it meant PASS, forgot the plan completely.

Go inside. Poor vodka. Drink vodka. Open envelope. Poor vodka. Drink vodka. Poor vodka. Drink vodka. Poor vodka. Drink vodka.

Have you been drinking already maybe...??? That's not how to spell Pour....!!! or r u just taking hits right from the bottle....say..."poor..poor Vodka...I must drink you now...????"

I admit, I am checking this site almost hourly praying that I see a thread that says NJ Results are in!

Time to do some work, I'll be back on in a few.

Big Ray,

Stay cool there my friend. NJ is usually slow( EES state). Program your mind to get the Passing letter the last week of June. If it comes before that consider yourself lucky.

I wish you the best...

Good Luck!!!!

I believe VA is another EES state. Us poor souls probably have another week or two of waiting :suicide1: .

whats that?

I got my letter the day after Christmas, it was delivered a couple days earlier but I was out of town. Knowing that the results were there was pure torture. I spent all day Christmas planning on how I would handle it. I swung from sitting down and doing it slowly, to tearing it open in the street. In the end I got the mail, brought it in and calmly opened it. BAM passed!

 

[mgoose77]

I have adopted dkent's plan . . . and hopefully I'll have the same outcome. Although, I will do my best to avoid the "Beer Weenie" status . . . :suicide1:
