Scary Thing #43

So I let work push me into taking a permanent disability rating class. (Which you probably knew if you’ve read my rating on Lindsey.) It’s pretty math-heavy, but most of it is relatively simple. We had a math quiz a few days in, to which I forgot to bring a calculator and ended up doing all the problems by hand. I still got 100% and managed to correct the answer key on one problem.

Today we had the first midterm. I had a calculator, but the damn thing wouldn’t turn on, so I ended up doing the math by hand again. This ended up including wacked-out fractions, decimal long division, and other time-consuming processes. Everybody else had calculators, presumably ones that worked. And I was still the second person out of there.

They’ll probably all incinerate me with looks next week. But at least I’ll die smug.
