Although a cruel trick for us non-noobs. Jerk. For once, I was not playing around. I was just looking for threads that might answer some of the new member's questions about the next step. I overlooked the title of the thread. No heart attacks intended. I figured as much. I do remember when aljfaq toyed with our emotions back in the day. Hope he made partner.

Note to self: chessparent's credibility now equals that of DLOTS.

My heart is still pounding! I thought Chessparent had decided to just kill us off rather than threaten to devour us Scoobies!

Does it make me a cynical a$$hole or a seasoned veteran that I immediately recognized this as an old bumped thread, suspected something either benign or misleading was afoot and I was in no way alarmed, nor did my heart rate elevate?
Or is it both?

I would unreservedly vote for seasoned veteran if the "bump" had not been committed by someone I had previously trusted. I would say you are less naive than those of us who were fooled.

I SAID I was sorry, jeesh. That's it, I'm not trying to help anyone ever again. You are all back on the menu.

A big part of the confusion, at least for me, is instead of going to the newest post the thread took me to the first post ....

If the certs arrived from OPM last week, according to Acemidnight's calculations in this thread stubby pencil it would break all land speed records for notifications to come out today. I would love to be wrong. What was the spring 2014 timeline? anyone remember when ODAR received the certs from OPM? Emails from Bob went out on 2 May. I think that was approximately 30ish days from when ODAR received the certs. Next week would be blazing speed. I hope I am wrong, but if the cert emails come out today through next week, it will most likely be for just a few cities.

I'm not the only one who fell for this trick. Now where is our treat? Thread title changed to prevent further confusion. Since a bunch of you fell for a silly trick, I'll throw out a treat in honor of Halloween: an anonymous source indicated yesterday that the interview dates are now definitely set for mid November and the ALJ interviewers have been notified to report for duty. No additional information was provided, so this is all the treat I got. Hang in there and good luck.

Thank goodness we fell for the "silly trick"! If we hadn't we would not have received the interviewer intel!

I am pretty sure that since it is 12:24 EST with no emails that today is all trick and no treat. Maybe next week. Gary I think you are being to hard on Chess. I tend to think Chess was trying to help some late arrivals but even if it was a trick it wasn't to harsh. It certainly woke me up this am. Please don't eat me Chessparent.
