Another victim of the OEQ

Ok, Thursday was my turn to join the beaten by the OEQ club. First thing I did when I got logged in was read the four questions. I was so relieved when I saw them. I answered all four. Then went back and reread them. Then I started thinking ( This was my mistake), and changed two of my answers. As soon as I submitted, the clouds opened up and I realized what I just did. I swore I wasn't going to fall victim to the over-thinking bug. But I did. I knew my three day trip to San Jose was now a very expensive practice lab. I was so mad at myself that I could not concentrate. By lunch I was on page 2. Didn't bother working the plan I had. Didn't read the whole lab twice.....

Went to lunch, didn't eat, went back to the lab. I was over the fact that I could not pass so I started working harder on the lab. I finished the lab, but didn't bother to test everything. I know I should at least pretend it was still a real lab but couldn't.

I'm wasting your time reading all this because I hope there's a lesson learned for someone. I'm really not the kind of person who gets confused or overwhelmed easly ( well actually now I guess I am) and never thought I was would be telling this story.

And to make matters worse....Looks like I would have passed!!
