    WoooooooHoooooooo

    After 2 years of studying in my own time, several nerve jangling examinations and 4 months of waiting for results I have just had a look in my junk e-mail folder to discover that I may now include the letters PGDipSurveying after my name (even though that more than doubles my full name). I'm abso-f***ing-lutely delighted, mainly because I've been convinced over the last 2 months that I failed my exams and was destined for retakes.

    WooooWoooooo
    You're so beige, you probably think this signature is about someone else.

    Congratulations. Four months waiting for results is a long time. I thought the 6 weeks for the results of my professional exams was a long time.

    Are you now going to update your work email signiture?

    It allows him to wander about, probing the countryside with a large measuring stick. In other words, he's a dipstick.

    He's a surveyor? Hasn't all the land over there already been surveyed and divvied up at least once? Seems like if you guys had done it right to start with, you wouldn't have to keep doing it.
    If legislation makes you equal, you aren't.

    Heck our Highway Dept. seems to be out surveying the same area of highway every year or so. I guess they want to see if it has moved.

    Different type of surveyor, I'm a quantity surveyor so deal with finance and subcontractors on building contracts The qualification doesn't really mean much besides being able to command a slightly higher wage and make me more attractive to prospective employers. The most important part of it is that it counts towards becoming a Chartered Surveyor which is where the proper money is

    Oh and 4 months is only the time since my exams, I didn't actually submit my last piece of work until the week before Christmas.

    And yes my e-mail signature will be updated It's the only place I'll get to use the title so may as well show it off

    It allows him to put a rediculously long tittle after his name

    Seriously though, congrats on the new qualification Jan
