Worst Nightmare

A few weeks ago I asked Grant if I could get my pesticide license. He responded 'you don't know what your talking about'. Okay... So I took a little initiative and sign up for the pesticide workshop that is going on today. I made sure to be up and ready before 8, so I'd have plenty of time to make my way to Provo. 8:20 - I put my big girl pants and braved the freeway. {I really dislike driving freeway. All the construction freaks me out!!} I found my way to the Health and Justice building in Provo, a good parking spot and found the room it was being held in. Asked what I needed to do to check in...

Do you have your license number??

Uh... No. I'm here to get my license.

Well then you need to test.

{What!?!}

Here's the books you need, head upstairs and they'll help you get set up for the test.

Uh. Ok. {what!??!!!!!!}

I made it upstairs and walked into the office...

Hi I'm here for a test {?}

What license do you need?

Uh... We are a small mom and pops business. Farming. I work for my grandpa.

That would be a private license.

Do I need to study?

No. It open book and here you go.

Thanks.

Holy cow. Let's just say that's a persons worst nightmare having to take a test that you didn't even know about, let alone prepare for. I spent 2 1/2 hrs reading questions, flipping through my new books... Checking and rechecking my answers. And praying I managed to figure our the math questions right. I finally clicked end and prayed I passed. It's my lucky day, I passed with an 84%. Phew.

Grant may have been right... I didn't know what I was asking. Lol.

I head back down to the workshop and since I'm newly licensed i don't need the unit hours but there is some excellent information. Tree diseases, ticks, chemical storage and safety ... Lot to learn. Glad my afternoon is a lot less stressful and I can just enjoy the learning :)
