I want to apologize to you @fwesley. I know your heart was in the right place. I think the tone of your post sounded condescending to people like myself who have been checking NASBA tweets but still continued to refresh their score report. For a lot of us, it was common sense to check the NASBA tweet. It came across, at least to me, like we were stupid or something. The extra, “THEN you can login and know it’ll be there,” sounded a bit arrogant. If it was me posting this, I would just make a suggestion like, “I don't know if some people know this but NASBA sends Twitter updates on score release.”
Since we are talking about professionalism, in the real world, you wouldn't send a tax client an email saying, “Instead of logging in to your bank account over and over again to see if your refund is available, wait 2-3 weeks for your refund to process with the IRS, THEN you can log in to your bank account and check if your refund is available.” It suggests that the client is doing something wrong by logging on to their bank account but all you wanted to say is that the IRS takes 2-3 weeks to process refunds. I hope this clarifies why I found your post a bit offensive.
Yes @cheeksmalone I might be a jaded jerk, I've been in accounting long enough. This summer has absolutely been the worse because my kids had to sacrifice summer time fun while their mommy studied for 3 exams. A lot of sacrifice went into this moment and anxiety was high and patience was low. A fail in REG would've meant that I had to squeeze both Audit and Regulations in Q4 and I have to pass both because my BEC credit expires at the end of Q4. Luckily I passed REG! Again, I apologize for my comment and I wanted @fwesley to be aware of his tone when he writes something whether it is a post here or an email to a client.
