Bastards were going to do the tests without me. I did not receive an email notification that they were upcoming. I just happened to think of checking - they start on Tuesday.

I'll be doing the one on Thursday.

I bet they were punishing me because they didn't like what I said about Trebek.
 
I guess I'm gonna try to do tomorrow's test which is at 9 pm EST. Hopefully I can keep my post-work burned-outness under control.
 
Here's the first one. I got 41/50
