Tensions seem to be rising again, as they did shortly before the release of the NOR's. Perhaps we should take this as a sign that our frustrating wait will soon be over. Personally, I have developed an unusual neurological condition that only asserts itself when I am in front of my computer all day. Without thought or intention, my right hand shoots out, grasps the mouse and starts wildly clicking my browser links to this site and my email account. This has been occurring every 15 to 20 minutes. I have tried self-treating this condition with situational bourbon and other home-made remedies, without success. I am starting to get worried as the frequency of these involuntary movements has been increasing lately. Any suggestions for a cure would be appreciated. If there is no cure for this, perhaps it meets a listing? Anyone care to have a non-adversarial hearing on this issue? Gary just told you - have a drink with Asti Sua Sponte. I hear it's nice with ice...

Everyone here has offered good enough answers or reasons for me to assume my question can be answered with a resounding "not happening". Just know that smarter and more locked in people than you or me have asked the same question. So even if you consider it ridiculous, not everyone is mocking it. As far as what the government has to do, governments and agencies fail to do as required or leave money on the table all the time for no good reason other than pandering or party rhetoric. Look no further than the government shut down, which contributed to some of the delay in the NORs coming out, to prove that point. And with all due respect tiger law, I did not come on here flaming a national treasure (Funky), boasting about how I was a shoe-in for an ALJ position, and discounting the role of government employees, which lead to a whole thread being locked down. I merely asked a question I thought was worth asking, based on the unusual delay and all the information posted on this board. It seems that certain people on this board automatically view those with low post counts who ask questions as trolls. And yes, I did change my handle, but only because "SuaSponte" seemed pretentious and troll like. Thanks for the responses, and good luck to everyone. Don't just lurk. But could you please go back to SuaSponte...or Asti SuaSponte...but it's hard to shorten your name to 'stupid' - which you obviously aren't if you made it this far! MPD does get on his soapbox sometimes and it's ok to call him on it (come on, Dad, knock it off, and Easter is over, we need a new pic of moopig). I will personally send you a bottle of the situational bourbon of your choice if SSA fails to hire from this register because they are doing this as a method of protest.

valkyrie makes a number of points here, but the main one is you guys need to chill. I mean I should talk, I was on pins and needles so long I should have changed my name to "pincushion". That having been said I never lost my sense of humor. Insufferable yes, humorless, not.
If someone comes on this Board and makes a supposition or asks a question that is so far out as to provoke incredulity they have to expect a "WTF" kind of response. It would happen in Court and it will happen here. Of course there are the Court personnel who will wink or even hold your hand, but the peanut gallery lawyers will eat you up.
Unless you're a certain poster, you're lawyers, for Pete's sake. Lawyers sue other lawyers, doctors circle the wagons, engineers and architects build a house to congregate inside. Saying I don't like how you lawyers treat me so I will take my marbles home runs contrary to the spirit of the Board. Let's not forget that you are asking to get a job that will result in tons more pressure and yes, abuse from the public and even maybe your HOCALJ than you are getting on these pages.

humblepie, don't stop posting. We've lost a lot of participants on this board over the last year, and I encourage everyone to ask questions and posit theories. I say the more, the merrier. Come out, come out, wherever you are! I agree, keep posting and stay on board. This is a great place for information and sometimes I go too far over the top in my comments, but even after being whipped on like nobody's business, I keep coming back. Stupidum needs to keep posting too, but ease up on the tiger, I haven't locked a thread in weeks?
Not Guilty is my second favorite phrase these days and the jury gave me that on behalf of my college educated 52 year old married client. Happy as I can be...now if I can hear my FIRST favorite phrase.
It's "Highly Recommended", maybe soon! Good luck to all.

Don't forget, the great value of this forum (besides the information) is the humor and place to let off steam. So keep posting. I enjoy the outlandish predictions and speculation.

Dammit sandi, I was told those pics were destroyed. Ok, on three let's all take a deep breath. Ready? 1...2...3, breathe. In the end, very very few of us will be happy. Why rush it? Right now everyone on the register is a winner. Probably have only a couple weeks of that feeling left. Enjoy it. Very good point!

Soooo the Sound of Crickets is officially taking its toll on the Board. Can you believe that this thread has had over 28,000 views and over 500 posts?!! Tigerlaw is back to pacing, Funky's gotten out the ole family picture albums to entertain us. Even Wild Speculation has lost its luster and given way to a everyone jumping on the first new question in ages to chew on. Wow.
Welcome to the crew, Sua - just like everything else in life, you have to take us as you find us!

I merely asked a question I thought was worth asking See - that's where you went wrong - this board can only answer questions that are not worth asking . . . like what do ALJs do for excitement on the weekends in Toledo (besides leave Toledo).

I guess I am lucky that my clients have made having thick skin and the ability to ask stupid questions without fear of the peanut gallery necessary skills.

Don't fret stupid...er...dum...er StD....crap, Stupidum. Fact is, you posited a theory that is highly, highly unlikely. But even that's not enough to draw ire around here. Its that so many are so emotionally, intellectually and financially invested in this process we just can't imagine or tolerate a theory that this whole thing was for naught. Don't think you were trolling, but you ventured into a powder keg and gave off the one spark that could blast the thing. Kinda like if you walked into the NRA convention and said "hey, the second amendment is really a code, deciphered it says 'just kidding'." We are all tired of waiting, but its pretty much confirmed that they are gonna hire and this reg is the only way. Don't take offense and keep posting, on almost any other subject this group is very forgiving. Hell, they've not banned me, tiger or bartleby yet.

At least we can all take some cold comfort in the fact that there will be a significant number of new ALJs who will have no earthly idea what "The Great Funky/Tigerlaw Throwdown of 2014" refers to.

You all realize Tigerlaw and stupidum are the same person. No way. Why would anyone use multiple avatars on this board?

I never changed my handle, but I did try to create an avatar once. No matter what I did, it kept coming out as an Amish man, so I gave up. Welcome to the jungle, er, Board, STD!
