To add insult to injury, I fell asleep on my sofa watching TV and woke up to piss soaked cushions. I barely have the energy to attempt cleaning it up, but that’s a problem for tomorrow me.

I texted him already. I think I might have ruined his vacation. I probably shouldn't have, but he told me that he wanted me to.Congrats, dude! Now go to your boss and get some $$$$$.
If he is a good boss of any type, he will recognize that your success will reflect positively on his success if he plays it right.
Immediate feedback. If you are over or below certain thresholds you find out immediately. In between and you get the "your test needs to be assessed; you'll hear in two weeks" message. They will occasionally throw out questions if too many people get them wrong, so people who are on the cusp of passing will get put into a holding pattern.
I'll get details as to my strong/weak areas in a little bit. I was not confident pushing the 'finish exam' button. There was a LOT of tax related stuff and it was in the weeds, so I was real iffy on some of that. All the investment, retirement planning, ethics, etc. stuff was pretty easy.
That works if he can get the company to pay for it. I've spent over $8k to date for education and the last I heard from his boss was "we're assessing for people starting next year". So he knows that if a raise can't be arranged, I'm out. But that's been silently on the table for months.
True, ‘there’s the rub’, as it were. Good luck!
We gotta grab a bite in Golden one of these days, you busy 20-23 this month?

congrats now go drink something that will make you forget everything you just learned and leave you with a post celebratory headache in the morning
looks like we maxed out at 103 here today. Facility provided a really nice free lunch for the staff
Sorry, I stopped by to say hi while you were asleep.
I'll cover a cocaine delivery if you think it would help motivation. Dead serious, I don't know what else I could do to help this far away.
The covid energy crush is real. Hang in there man.
Bro.
I hope you got a large poutine after that. And not the dainty "large", the La Belle Province large. Frig man.

I'm riding the heck out of some trails tomorrow.
Well that sucks, how many times have you had the pox now? Feel better!
Gonna need to see that breakdown so we know what topics you can solidly help on
Congrats!
The headwind was brutal. Probably 15 minutes slower just going up Central City Parkway than expected.

Deeeeeeee-licious. Thank you!I can only imagine how good that'd taste after expending 10,000 calories or whatever
I didn't know the hackers used SAFe Agile
What you said describes my world of upper mgmt thinking we can implement CI/CD and weekly production releases like it's seamless and easy peasy. Get's old really quick with all the desperate systems, multiple off-shore teams and no one who really is steering the ship. I see icebergs, they only see self glory.
Apparently they don't give us a breakout. But it's pretty easy: retirement planning, investments, and risk management are my best by far, then estate planning, then taxes. But for those, I know a place and I know a guy.Gonna need to see that breakdown so we know what topics you can solidly help on
Congrats!
General financial principles, ethics, and financial behavioral psychology are all the easiest by far, but they are more "do the right thing; this is a stock/bond; and this is why you can't get out of your own way". Which I deal with daily.
An easy ride if he is prepping for the SM100. Shy a few thousand feet of climbing and a lot of mud and rocks.
Sado-Masochistic 100 stings of the lash?
Those are actually great trails. Just a lot of good shit in one day.
