This has nothing to do with soccer, let alone Crew soccer, but I just got my professional engineer's exam score in the mail - I PASSED!!!!!!! Now that I can legally stamp drawings, you'd be best advised to stay out of Ohio!
Hell Yeah Flyer Fan!!!!!! If you are in town come the Thistle for the Fiesta Bowl and 3stripe and myself will buy you all the drinks and eats you need! If not we'll get ya when the season starts. And then when you are making the big bucks, you can get us back later
hey FF, what kind of engineer are you? i've taken the FE/EIT and passed it, but since i've decided to delay my graduation, it will be awhile before i can take the PE (i'm studying civil... more so hyrdo and environmental.. inside of civil at illinois) again, congrats... as they are very much deserved -jim
I'm a civil engineer and I work primarily in water and wastewater treatment. But, since my company acts as the village engineer for a local community I also review drainage calculations and designs.
Jenna got a recording development deal in Orlando. She's working with the people who produced P!NK, and other well known teen performers. I'm moving down there with her while she writes, records, etc... UD and UDjr will stay here. We WILL be at the Crew 2003 Opener, and as many games as we can come home for. My Crew car flags & stickers are coming with me to mouse-land. The sacrifices I make for my daughter! There's a story on Jenna & her move coming up in the January 5th edition of The Dispatch, if you're interested. They are doing a series on Columbus people who are making big changes in their lives. She's their first story.
Flyer: as a fellow civil engineer (structural), I congratulate you. Well done. I myself will be taking that f'ing thing in 2 years, so I only have 1.5 years of social life before I must go on hiatus as well. Good stuff...
Congratulations on the accomplishment!! However, in the future, don't forget to place a [R] in the thread heading and do not indicate the results. If this happens again, I will be forced to complain to Foos, Crewtoon, et al. Oh yeah, if I sound a little bitter, its because I too have to take that test in about 3 years...
When I read the topic, I had to ask why someone was telling us he passed his Kidney Stone. That's not a pleasant thought!
Well, perhaps, but the alternative isn't too pleasant either. It must be the season for it FF; my wife just got notice that she passed a major certification exam also. We'll be whooping it up and I'll hoist one for you in the process.
It must be, Bill. My father, a recently retired police officer, is working on becoming a teacher. He just passed some major exam, too. These testing and certification agencies can wreak havoc around the holidays. BTW, for now everyone is still safe in Ohio as I've yet to get my registration number. I'll give fair warning when my number arrives; at that time it's best to head for the hills - or at least outside of Ohio and Washington, D.C.
What I don't understand is the timing. She went to Chicago in mid-November to sit for the exam. And in the days of instant-everything and computerized-everything it still takes SEVEN FREAKIN WEEKS to get the results. I figure that, with any sort of organization at all, they could have had the results before you left the building.
The PE exam is a national exam administered by the National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying (NCEES). Our exam was completely multiple choice and we took it October 25 (the day after the US Open Cup victory); I got the results December 24! I know that NCEES reviews each question before grading to make sure no questions are flawed - poorly worded, incomplete information, etc. Perhaps your wife's exam had similar QA/QC measures that slows the grading process.
