I have 2 and a half/3 hours before my game starts. I've got everything ready, including the snacks for the dogs to keep them from bugging everyone else. Now I have nothing to do. It's very hard to bore me, but damn am I bored now.

Ah. 3 hours into failing this 6 hour exam. Only 3 hours more failure to go.:( You should just leave. Why waste 3 more hours of precious and rapidly dwindling time on Earth on failure?
Meh, the exam was expensive and paid for by my company.
And I don't know I failed, just strongly suspect. If I fail by a wide margin, I'll have to think about taking a class on this stuff. If I failed narrowly, I'll probably keep it to self study for a redo.

I had to take the Professional Engineer exam twice. I was stupid the first go-around, not giving myself enough time to study, just three months or so.
Ironically, the second time I took it(a Friday), I was hit by insomnia from the medicine helping me recover from the flu (which had hit me the Sunday before). So I went into it with maybe 2 or 3 hours of sleep, but passed.

If you ever want to feel good about taking an exam, take the Ramset (TM) powder-actuated tools certification test.
Can you correctly match colors to the names of those colors? Can you count to ten? If you answered "yes" to both questions, in thirty minutes you too can become certified to operate machines that use gunpowder to shoot nails through concrete.

I am having a flare of the thing I don't have today. Had it yesterday, too, and it'll probably go on for another couple of days.
*sigh*
Sorry you have to deal with that Treppa :/

Yeah, some tests are far easier than one would think going into them. I took a test to become a licensed boiler and pressure vessel inspector back when I still lived in Philly. I'd say about 95% of the questions on the test were exact duplicates of the ones I had from my training class. Combine that with entirely open book, and it was easy.

I can remember breezing through the state life insurance exam. Apparently some people thought it was hard. I just reminded myself of all the really dumb life insurance agents I know, and that kept me from worrying about it.
These financial analyst exams, though... they have a 30-40% pass rate, and most of the people taking it have undergraduate and masters degrees in finance. And I'm trying to take it based off the time I skimmed a textbook.
"Jeanette decided to analyze the predictive value of coffee futures using regression analysis, based on a data set covering 12 years. Given the following coefficients and standard deviation, what is the level of statistical significance of those futures predictions?"
Can I just sit on a glaive instead?

This weekend is out, but the following weekend is doable.
Okay I won't be able to do this weekend anyway, and next Friday is out. I'll see about Saturday and Sunday.

This flight was Delta, too. And, to be fair, Delta credited my account rather handsomely without me even having to complain over the Seattle debacle.

Holey crap. As I live and breathe. The prodigal wolf returns. How the heck are you, Heathy?

Eight hours down, eight to go...
One hour to starting work and then eight more hours to finish it and return home...
I cannot wait to have a normal set of hours at a normal time with a normal weekend.
If in an interview a boss asks me about working late or on weekends, I think I will have to fight the urge to giggle.

Watching House of Cards. Kevin Spacey is magnificent. Robin Penn is amazing as well.
Robin Penn has a small part in the Wonder Woman film.
Holey crap. As I live and breathe. The prodigal wolf returns. How the heck are you, Heathy?do they got a new spelljammer?
I actually thought you were talking about SPELLJAMMER...
I love the original BBC series (bought it on DVD, in fact). Haven't tried the new one yet, but Spacey never disappoints.

Welcome to the overnight!
The hours are terrible, but at least the pay sucks!
Thank you, thank you! It wasn't bad at all. It'll probably be 23:30 - 02:30 round trip, so that's not a huge amount of time, and there's some flexibility with the hours. The biggest problem on my route is the occasional bear. I can sleep 0300-0800 and maybe later some days. Not too shabby.
Riddle: Where does a nice middle-aged woman with a computer science degree and some graduate math work meet a nice middle-aged man with two graduate degrees in the liberal arts?
Bored. Bored bored bored. Bored.
I used to work in radio and my favorite shift was the overnight one. No one else in the building, just me and my D&D books writing adventures.

Welcome to the 21st Century. Where the rules are made up and the degrees don't matter. :/
But, gratz on meeting someone nice at the new job!

I have to admit, if my job payed a decent living wage I think I would be happy with it for the rest of my life. Overnights are soothing on my introvert soul, and I'd likely be happy reading/writing/online gaming/streaming while I do it.
Sadly, it does not. And, comfort is a trap. I need to push myself to achieve my goals.
