| Originally Posted by MM1799 Here a fact: Had you scored higher or didn't defer you wouldn't have this problem. You'd either be on the road or looking for a new career as a quitter. Sorry to put in such blunt terms, but these "80th rtt yes/no" are getting annoying. Get off the computer and show some initiative. Call the SP or physically go to the SPA and ask then you wont need to worry about hearsay and mean troopers who are tired of seeing this topic. Sadly I think some of you will continue to ask until someone says "yes, it's a go" even though the answer might be "no-go". |

Just for the "stay on topic" people.....I belive that is a good indicator that there will be no 80th any time soon. |

| Do you think that the odds are greater for an 80th class happening from this list, or for a new test to happen first??? |

Then, the bigger kids chime in with their words of wisdom: "I think I saw a sign that said it's only 5 miles away." when you know for a fact you're still 100 miles out. You try again to explain that it will be awhile. But that's not enough for your carload of Einsteins: "Last time we came here it didn't take this long." Then you unexpectedly run into a little traffic. Your 90 remaining minutes have now turned into another 2 1/2 hours. It should be fairly obvious to everyone that you're moving at little to no speed, but still you hear: "Are we ALMOST there?" You look at your wife; she looks back at you - neither side of the family has a genetic history that includes an IQ of an eggplant, yet once more you hear it: "Are we there yet?" It's all you can do to keep from turning around, smacking them in the heads, and telling them to just "SHUT THE FVCK UP, WE'LL GET THERE WHEN WE GET THERE!!!" But you know that they're just simple kids, otherwise they would just LISTEN, PAY ATTENTION, and FIGURE IT OUT. ...might just be me though. |
