If memory serves, didn't the offers go out around 1pm Central time last year?

I think you might be right. Although, they all went by e-mail, rather than the purported phone calls this time. Here is a relevant quote from an old thread: Having received my offer late yesterday afternoon, I can think of a good reason for the offers to be made late in the day, at least to current SSA employees: no work will get done for quite some time afterwards! It is hard to work when one is in shock!

If they went out at 1pm central, I am disappointed.

As Benny Hill was known to say "live every day like it is your last, because someday, you will be right!!!" In our case, it is "live every day like you will be called/e-mailed, because someday, you will be right!" If it is any comfort, even the ODARS I frequent are anxious to get the new judges and are waiting for the shoe to drop.....

I can almost definitively confirm that offers will not go out on or before 1pm central time on May 28, 2009.
There is not much that is assured, but this is one of them.
Of course, there is a chance that no-one posting on this board and no-one who is posting on this is acquainted with has received notice. And there is a chance that ODAR has prohibited offerees from communicating offers. But the likelihood of these possibilities is very small.

Good luck to everyone who is waiting. I know the anxiety that you are experiencing. For what it is worth, in 2/08 (when the offers were made by e-mail) news of that was posted on this board before all of the e-mails had even arrived. So, I think that it is safe to bet that as soon as the offers start, that info will be immediately posted.

..... but just how many Members do we have in the pending hunt? 30, 40, 50? Have you noticed that "guests" on the boards have vastly outnumbered members lately?

Guests, if you join the board now, you will still be entitled to all of the benefits and privileges of membership.
