It blows my mind that they make us bring all of these references to the exam, and not just provide reference tables within the exam itself to reference as necessary. There's like 14 Civil/Transportation references. Many of them are hundreds of pages and several of them are over a thousand pages each.
Very few engineers use printed copies of a lot of those references anymore, too. It's so much easier to search via PDF, and also make sure your reference is up to date by keeping it digital.
Not to mention that several of the references are hundreds of dollars a piece. I'm lucky enough to have an employer who will purchase what I need but I feel for those that don't!
That "breakfast" would give me indigestion for a week...Got up at 5:30 put 8 pound pork butt on Weber kettle to smoke, got chainsaw out cut some **** up and got the brush pill burned. Did start the morning with my Bloody Mary mix I make and a beef stick, pickle, asparagus.
Study my arse off for the PE Exam coming up on Friday...
Hungover as **** and trying to pull it together
Did you not cook a flank steak in salted butter, eat that, then put on a pair of wet socks and go to sleep?
Bring some dark chocolate. It opens up the blood vessels in your brain.
I definitely overstudied for the PE (structural). 150 hours or so. You’ll kill it.
I'll PM my address here in DC for a nice fresh batch. Make sure you send it express, I'm only here 'til next Sunday.Change of plans. Spouse got started on building his wall, and I needed his help for the digging. Never got to the grocery store - we'll do that tomorrow when we're in town anyway.
Heading downstairs to finish watching TCU fall apart and bake some cookies. The house is gonna smell gooooooood...![]()
