Thought I'd start this thread for posting when you receive your offer and where. No requirement to share, but I would be nice to know. *** Changed title so as not to confuse folks.

Just got an e-mail saying "early June" for the offers to go out. Have a nice Memorial Day.

The forum is so quiet right now you can almost hear a pin drop. It's almost 2 pm EST before a three day weekend. I doubt any phone calls are going out today if they haven't started already. At this point, if there isn't a mass e-mailing in 4-5 hours then I think we can all chalk it up as a false alarm and enjoy the long weekend.

I guess the thead "Offer Dates" in the Wild West initiated by a guest had the effect of making us very anxious. My gut feeling is that the final stretch will be from Tuesday, May 26 to June 2, no later no sooner. Enjoy this Memorial Day weekend!

They are not finished making selections. I could tell you exactly how I know, but then I would have to silence you. Just have a good weekend and relax week. Even next week would be pushing it to get offers out since they did not start working on it until at least a week after most people here thought they got started. No one is working the holiday weekend to get these offers out.

I agree with lawandorder. Query how we who want to be in a position to judge credibility reacted to a posting that did nothing but scream hoax. We need to step back and increase our wisdom quotients if we are lucky enough to get paid to judge claimants. Because a prediction turns out to be wrong (as has happened many times on this board), whether due to a change in circumstances or a reliance upon erroneous information, does not mean that the predictor perpetrated a "hoax." Despite the stress, let's try and judge favorably our fellow board members, and not seek to alleviate our angst by turning on each other. And, should we be selected as ALJs, let's hope that our credibility assessments are characterized by a more sympathetic, multi-factorial and deliberative spirit than is reflected in the quoted post. May we all enjoy what may be, for many, the final non-frenzied weekend for a long time.

Take a deep breath folks. Offers will come when they come. I don't believe there's anything malicious about the information from WWW. Based on what I can ascertain, it was offered in good faith. Just think about how many different target offer dates have been posted on this board in the last month? Anyway, I agree with ssaer. Enjoy the long weekend and charge up your batteries. And in honor of Memorial Day, if you take a moment and reflect on the sacrifices made by the patriots who gave their all so we can enjoy our current lifestyle, this whole ALJ hiring cycle is not such a big deal. Take care, relax, and enjoy the weekend with those you care about. ODAR will do what they need to do soon enough.

Thought I'd start this thread for posting when you receive your offer and where. No requirement to share, but I would be nice to know. ALJD is ahead of you. He has already started a thread called, Logistics for offer acceptance announcement threadWe probably don't need acceptees posting in two different threads; that would get confusing. If you don't want to post your location with your name, you can PM ALJD or me, and we will post it anonymously for you. Pix.

I agree with you Pixie. Every time I see a new post to this thread-- the Phone Calls and Job Offers thread--I think someone has announced his or her offer. I scramble down to the bottom of this thread, heart a-poundin' thinking there will be an offer announcement. Rabbits are good in a 50 yard dash or two, but I can't keep doing it over and over again! Mercy me!

Thanks ALJD. The insertion of the word "waiting" helps a lot! I can take off my New Balance rabbit shoes now and finish reading my novel!

Well, I hate to admit it, but you are probably right. Even so, I will try to keep my ears pinned down til this is all over, ALJ.

Chief Judge Cristaudo spoke to the judges today at supplemental training. He said they were working hard on finalizing the selections for this round of hiring. He was hoping they would be done by the close of business today, but they may have to finalize everything Tuesday. Any way, he did say offers would go out next week. Good luck to every one!

Thanks nightowl. Sounds like good info. That means, however, that everyone will be glued to this forum all day Tue (I hope our current employers will understand why nothing is getting done). I wish everyone the best of luck!

Based upon what CALJ said, Wednesday seems the more likely day for offers to go out.

Then I shall safely go forth and try and mutilate some helpless golf balls and leave the cell phone in the cart.

Pixie, although my rabbit heart is thumping at the thought, I would gladly face the danger of a beagle in the office if that meant getting one of these ALJ slots. I would just have to get good at taking corners on two paws when I see the beagle coming, head down and tail up. I know we are all nerve-racked right now but I hope everybody is otherwise enjoying a really nice holiday weekend. It sounds like Beagle is enjoying herself on the golf course chasing golf balls and june bugs.
