    need abo credits

    hi all! just like another poster, i too have been out of the industry for awhile. my current boss is about 2 feet tall, makes me work 24/7, demands food, keeps my energy drained, gives me sleepless nights, and to top it off, i've got to wipe his butt about 3-5 times a day. a tyrant i tell you!
    anyway, good to see some familiar names still here. I didn't post much, but loved keeping up with things on this lovely board.
    if you get your abo cec online, which online source do you prefer/trust? I just tried to go to my 20/20 account but can't access it. i'll call tomorrow. i tried going onto fezz's abo study material post but seems like most of that stuff is to take the abo or it's dated.
    is oti legit? i know there's nao, but seems pricey? don't know exactly when i'll head back but really don't want to lose my abo. any advice is appreciated. thanks!

    Next time he has you wipe his butt, soak the toilet paper in acetone....



    Renew or set-up a new account with 20/20 for the freebies, but I recommend you pay the piper and get some high quality CE's from the NAO.

    LOL! Those little tyrants. They grow from tyrants to dictators, and even 25 years from now, they'll give you sleepless nights.

    I think they were referring to being the parent of a small child...

    We are all so used to the idea of terrible bosses that it seemed quite realistic as a depiction of one!
    Have I told you today how much I hate poly?

    It’s so simple to be wise. Just think of something stupid to say and then don’t say it.

    thank you for the laugh, i needed it today. it's 9:10pm and i just now got a chance to sit down and look at a computer.
    i hope you're right about choices here in the los angeles area, i'm just praying the commute will be less than 30 minutes. i know, wishful thinking.

    I know it's run by the Dark Side but I've found the courses really insightful and educational.

    Some can be downright difficult. You only get a couple of shots at the test but with my better half also an optician we can toggle through wrong answers so the last one taking the test often gets a 100% correct!!!

    Essilor. But in all fairness to them it is anything but a Big E marketing site.

    Most courses really makes you read and think.
