Ah yeah baby!

Every evening I’d come home and ask, “Any mail come for me?” Always the reply was, “No”, or something similar.

In my head, I’m screaming, “WHERE IS MY LETTER!!!”

So my Mom keeps telling me, “Why don’t you just call them?”

I said, “Naw, I don’t want to bother these people. Everybody’s got work. Besides some pissant calling my office to check on just another pissant file, would really pissant me off.”

But something edged me a little during lunch and I called them yesterday. I thought, I’ll be polite. What can happen? So I’m sitting on a park bench, soaking up the sun, with about seven minutes left before my lunch is up.

Well, real easy the young lady explains, “Yeah, that letter went out. Do you want your candidate ID number?”

In my head, I’m saying, “Is this chick making my day or what?”

Real easy, she gave me my candidate ID number. Just like that. I think she even told me when the letter went out. Who knows? It’s all about the future. So, I’m in the office and who do I want to tell? MOM. She’s got to know first. I’m calling and calling and calling and calling. No answer. I’m thinking, she’s got to know first. So I’m calling and calling and callling and calling. No answer. Finally, she calls back. I tell her.

She said, “See. I told you. Oh and congratulations.”

“Whatever.”

So I’m at my desk. Can’t really concentrate too tough cause, I HAVE MY CANDIDATE ID NUMBER!!!!

Well the Prometric site wasn’t working for me, so I called the NCARB ARE Operations number from the Prometric website. They gave me the scheduling number for Prometric. Then I scheduled three exams. $170 each on the credit card.
