irony

I spoke to a coworker who took the day off work in order to take the LEED exam. This coworker passed the exam, which is exciting. I asked which test center the coworker went to, as a friend of mine took the exam at the same time... it turns out they were not at the same place; this person had driven to the test site in order to get in some last minute studying... I found it somewhat ironic or hypocritical to drive to an exam focused on sustainability which is in fact less than 1/2 mile from a rapid transit line (SS c4.1)

i am a dork.

More of your harsh judgment of things that purport to be sustainable!

That should be the first question of the exam - "Did you drive here?". If the answer is "yes", they should fail. where is the commitment?

hmm, i had a similar thought as i printed the reference guide. double sided, two pages to a side makes it better, right?!

exactly. this whole exam process was definitely not green. they should allow us to take it at our home computers.
