Frustrated/need a break/vent
Back story: I'm a teacher in IL that isn't working this school year in a classroom. 
I was lucky and got a job at the university, working on a federal study. Whoohoo! (I'm the only grad students, everyone else who got hired is getting a phd or in law school.)
BUT in order to be involved in the study, I have to pass a certification test for the methods we are using. I had two days of training 2 weeks ago. Because we had a class more full than normal, and my last name starts with a T, I ended up at the end of the list, and didn't initially get registered for the certification test online. (There is a max number per session). At the end of training, the guy in charge said he would email me the info the following work day (training ended on a Saturday, he would email Monday,) once he called the company and added me in. After a WEEK AND A HALF of waiting (and 3 emails to my boss to get this guys email address), I finally get ahold of him, and find out he mispells my name in the system, so I have been waiting for something that was entered wrong.
So I should have had the last 2 weeks to get this done (it has to be done by Monday). I just got access this morning. The test takes like 3 hours. I had to get a certain score to pass. I took it tonight (after 2 weeks away from the material) I missed it by 1 point....1 QUESTION. Which means I have to do the whole damn thing over again.
I'm so burned out and exhausted. I just want it to be over!
Ok, vent over. Thanks!
EDIT: I finally got it done, and passed by just a little bit. But I'm finally done after 6 and a half hours of testing and a bag of popcorn for dinner.....
