After going through [this](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=8512003&postcount=13), I have been waiting with a mixture of eagerness and apprehension for the results. I got home just now and found the expected letter from the Ministry of Housing. I passed the Small Buildings exam! Another step accomplished on my plan to liberate the suffering masses of Ontario from their enslavement to high heating bills! 🙂

And it’s spring, too!

(I was outside all weekend helping some friends build a wall, and I got a _wicked_ sunburn on the back of my neck. But I’m happy enyways!)

Good for you, **Sunspace**! I know you want to make the world a better place and be that ‘someone’ when people say, “Why doesn’t someone do something about that \*insert injustice \* here?” Good luck on the next test.

It’s a pity I suffer from allergy to winter. If I didn’t, I could get **Sunspace** to make me a house!

Good thing all those Torontoans won’t have high heating bills this spring! 😉

Glad to hear you passed, I know the feeling!

No, no, a “Torontoan” is from Toronto, Ohio! We’re “Torontonians”. 🙂

[sub]But if I’m in a Toronto-hating area, I tell people I was born in Peterborough. [/sub]

You’re really from _Toronto_? But you always told us Western Canada Dopers that you were from Peterborough…? 😉

Seriously, **Sunspace** , well done! After reading of your experience with the exam, it’s good to hear that you passed it. IMHO, you should get bonus points for “transit troubles on exam day,” but if in spite of all that, you passed–well done indeed!

The title of this thread just brought to mind the scene from **Dogs in Space** where Luchio comes running into the house after his engineering exams all excited shouting “I passed! I passed! The whole bloody lot of them!” (paraphrased) only to realize that everyone is totally depressed because (spoiler just in case anyone hasn’t-seen-but-might-see the movie) one of the main characters has just died of a heroin overdose
