All Shook Up
I just finished retaking the seismic portion of my P.E. exam. What was the point of that odyssey? They ask one to solve for an unreal amount of information in a very short time, with little or no time to look anything up.
Now correct me if I’m wrong, but don’t you want the person who is designing the buildings and bridges you will be using to take their time? I can just picture it. . .“Yep, I designed this 10 story office building in 3 minutes and 20 seconds, who’s moving in?. . . . . . .chirp. . . . .. . . chirp. . . . . . .”
All it proves is how much one can memorize. I can memorize the Gettysburg Address, doesn't make me qualified to run the country. Maybe they misunderstood and think we can only do the design during an earthquake.

The Gettysburg Address is:
Lincoln Square
Gettysburg, PA 17325
But contrary to popular myth, it was not written on the back of an envelope during a train ride.
OK, You're elected. Hail to the Chief. Now how about adjusting my grade to 4 score and 7 percent? Do we get to blame gas prices on you too?
