Exams, and More Exams!

Our friend Matt is taking his licensing exams this weekend, but I'm sure he's cool, calm, and collected.


 

Fay has donned her exquisite pompon hat to cheer him on!


Florrie rounded up all her neighbors and is hosting a block party! Uh oh, who called the cops?





It's not the cops, it's lewy! He's channeling all of his super-freaky cosmic encouragement towards Canada!


Dances With Typos has prepared a festive spread, because it's not wise to test on an empty tummy. Mmmm!



A traffic snarl just wouldn't do on test day, so Aridog called in a few buddies to smooth the way.



Annie has hired a world-class musician to play in the testing center lobby. Good music relieves stress and boosts recall. Really!



Oh look! Jourdan has hidden a top-secret message in the diplomatic pouch. It's tucked into a cookie, and reads "You will have a stressful weekend, but good things are on the horizon. Made in Hong Kong."


Girl on the Scene has contributed an elephant to cheer you on!  Because...because...just because! It's not every day a friend has an opportunity to send another friend an elephant. It's an African thing. The neighbors will be oh so impressed! And so will the street sweeper!


Noah and lady red are gearing up to tend to any testing wounds you may incur, like acute eye-twitch, or computeritis.



GOOD LUCK MATT!

    Oh, how wonderful! Thank you very much.

    While I don't know how well I did today overall, this sure picked up my spirits. Hopefully the Table Vibes will carry me through to success tomorrow.

    You're a brave man, Matt! Anybody can learn. Few can take tests! (I couldn't handle it any more.)

    Really awesome card, lady red!

    The neighbors will be oh so impressed! And so will the street sweeper!

    Matt's Post on FB

    So we stay in a hotel so I can get an early start in the morning without having a drive to get to my exam. So at 11:15 were hear some guy screaming. I go to check and there is some guy coming out from the room across the hall bleeding and not wearing any pants. I call the front desk. They say they will send someone. Several minutes later the guy is still screaming and going up and down the hall. I call the front desk again. "My colleague isn't up there yet? (Uh, no.) Several minutes later the guy is still out there. He says he wants some water. I give him a bottle but he ignores it. He wants to come into our room. (No way). I call the front desk again. Still nobody comes. Several minutes later Fay calls. After she tells them (again) what is going on they tell her to get off the line so they can call an ambulance. Several minutes later STILL nothing. We call 911. Finally that gets the RCMP there. Normally it would seems that the police would say they already had a call and that officers were responding. No, it sounds like this is the first they heard of it. After I give the information the 911 operator tells me I can get off the line. "We have cars... we have LOTS of cars there." So much for a restful night's sleep.

      Sounds like a do it yourself adult circumcision gone horribly, horribly wrong.

      You really shouldn't do those drunk. Problem is, you can only do those drunk. Paradox.

      Oh, crap. Reality is getting harder and harder to parody.

      I google the exact phrase "do it yourself circumcision" and Google comes back with:

      About 35,400 results (0.24 seconds)

      And yes, there are images.

      Whaaaaat????? Fay, I've seen that movie at least half a dozen times and I don't remember that part at all?!? Bloody dangly bits, huh???

      I was just referencing that movie yesterday at a family gathering..."Hello? Anybody there? Hello? Anybody there?"

      That movie STILL scares me as well, Fay. The part when she reads what he has typed for his novel still gives me the creeps! Brrrr!

    I apologize for missing the good wishes to Matt part. I've been so busy tied up with Rosh Hashana, Yom Kippur and now Sukkot, I've barely had time to look up between marathon cooking (and eating!) sessions.

    Brilliant card Lady Red. I LOLed at "my" choice of card. :D. The Hebrew-looking characters spelling out the English name of the band spell "Meshugga" which means "Crazy". I suppose that's a pretty accurate description of this place. :))

    Talking of crazy - Fay and Matt - OMG! Your "bleeding Hotel" story is hilarious and terrifying all at once. I hope Matt managed to get those images out of his head at least for the duration of the exam!

  14. RadioMattMSeptember 23, 2013 at 11:14 PM

    Thank you, Annie. Hope Rosh Hashanah was great for you.

    It was the lack of sleep that caused me more problem than the image of the guy. Just one of those weird things that happens from time to time. Notice how stuff always happens on those rare nights you fall right to sleep rather than toss and turn until two minutes before the alarm goes off?
