Like AgilityMom, I received a call from Bob. And, like AM I had enthusiastically accepted the OMHA position - contingent on receiving an offer from SSA. I was upfront with Judge Moore - that location was a consideration. The offer from SSA came on Monday for one of my top choices (not #1). And given a number of considerations I accepted it this morning. The toughest call I had to make was to DCALJ Moore. He and CALJ Griswold are consummate professionals! Bartleby, your buddy is right. I am a big fan of OMHA given the experience I had with everyone I came in contact with at OMHA. Tigerlaw, Wayne, good luck. I think you guys are going to love being at OMHA! ht Thanks Hilltopper. Best of luck to you.

I understand tiger, but let's try to avoid old habits. Still waiting for an ODAR offer tiger? Sorry MPG, I was cranky last night and my comments were too short and brunt and yes...I need to avoid old habits. I apologize for my blunt comments.
This is an opening any old litigator could drive a truck through. But in the spirit of the profferd and in light of the fact that its now Judge Tigerlaw let me say this: Welcome to your new life (once you get through the whirlwind of wrapping up the practice and may Providence give you strength for that). I had to leave Mr. Cranky with the Certified Mail/Return Receipt Requested Bin and the old house. May his shadow n'er fall upon your threshold again.

Tigerlaw just accepted an offer at Tupelo and will not be going to OMHA!

Just got a call from OMHA asking if I was interested in being considered for a position in Cleveland. I previously was contacted regarding Kansas City. I declined both locations due to family considerations. Of note, when the Kansas City query came, it was sent by email. Today's inquiry was by phone. You know, that 703 area code that makes your heart skip a beat or two and then race. Do you mind sharing the range that your score is in? Just wondering where they are score-wise.

Well, well, well.
A beloved board regular requesting anonymity on this issue just pm me to advise they got a call this morning from omha requesting them to interview for Cleveland.
They must have a new cert and are speeding up the process.
This person's score is in the 77 range.

Funky, did the board member indicate that s/he accepted the offer to interview?

Definitely not yours funkily.
While I would love aljing at omha, all their locales would require me relocating. And, I don't look fondly on the prospect of trying to sell the funky farm without relo benefits/assistance.

And they still have to descend the score ladder a bit to talk to me anyway.

Interestingly, if OMHA is in the high 70's and SSA offers include a 79, is that going to set us up for an SSA v. OMHA round two? And our cert city poll still has Cleveland on the board. Craziness!

SSA will beat out OMHA everytime in my opinion as evidenced by round 1--and we are not just talking about federal employees who are anticipating relo costs.

Another pm from a well-known board member also requesting anonymity. Just got called from omha for Cleveland.
Described their score as low 77.
Asked on timeframes and they said as soon as they get his paperwork back they will sched the interview.
Obviously, he accepted the opportunity. Said he would scream out and break anonymity if he lands an offer.
Good luck my friend.

Just got a call from OMHA in Cleveland. Had an interview with SSA ODAR in early June and still awaiting result from that interview. Following the interview, I received a call in the interim and was asked whether I was interested in Morgantown. OMHA asked whether I was interested in Cleveland; interview with ODAR scheduled for next week.

Definitely good for some folks.
I suggest if your score is in the 77 range and you have Cleveland and/or KC on your gal you put some real thought in what you would do if omha calls.

Yet another anonymous board stalwart with a low 77 range score got the omha call for Cleveland. Awaiting clarification if the opportunity was accepted or declined.
