So since you are such a short-timer, will you put up with it?
I don’t blame people for whatever they do. If I was in your shoes I might put up with the testing, not being too long to go. Only being 52, no!
Of course I will put up with the testing; my job is brutal anyway, I led an effort with hundreds of people around the world and worked hundreds of unpaid hours last year, was one of very few people who has to drive into the office every day, deal with no infrastructure since all our support staff are at home (no printers, network issues, etc.), get home late at night and then work from home, sleep a few hours, rinse and repeat... so the inconvenience of the test is nothing to me. I expect to get 50K per year in pension, so I would crawl on broken glass all day if I had to. I am far more worried about getting the religious exemption denied since none have been approved so far.
