You are welcome luckylady2, I am an outsider too, but I have been a long time Board member and I have practiced SSA law for over 30 years. I try to stay abreast of happenings here and in SSA. I am glad to be of help to you. I consider you to fall under the "insider light" category. I will take it hopefalj as "light" (lite) beer is better for me than non-light (non-lite) beer when I am watching calories.

I am glad to be of help to you. I consider you to fall under the "insider light" category. I am a former insider, having worked for SSA in the late 70's, prior to law school. Does that make my an "insider-once-removed"?

Luckylady2 and ok1956 don"t sell yourself short as you both made the register, which speaks volumes for your abilities. I am sure you both will be great ALJs.

Deputy Commissioner Sklar told NOSSCR last week that SSA plans to hire 200-250 ALJs in the next 12-18 months. (He and Judge Bice also said that the new position description is just an update, not a change.) Any more news on this for us outsiders? I could use some Friday afternoon rampant speculation!

Sorry, I'm a rep ("insider light"), so all I know is what I heard at NOSSCR this month. Maybe an insider has updated information.

Yeah, with the Board all lit up with talk of interviews, the sound of crickets on the Second Certer side is getting louder again. Anybody know a good (clean!) joke?

Did you hear the one about the 732 attorneys on the Register that didn't make the first cert?

A disability joke, sort of ... lol Two guys are walking their dogs on a city street. One has a German shepard and the other a chihuahua. As they pass a bar, the guy with a German shepard says "Let's go in for a beer." The guy with the chihuahua says, " We can't go in there with dogs." The guy with the shepard says, "Just follow my lead." The guy with the shepard walks into the bar and as he approaches the bar, a bouncer stops him and says, "You can't come in here with a dog." The guy says, "It's a seeing eye dog." The bouncer says, "Oh, I'm really sorry. Tell the bartender your first one is on me." The guy with the chihuahua sees this and heads in. As he approaches the bar, the bouncer stops him and says, "Hey, you can't come in here with that dog. The guy says, "It's a seeing eye dog." The bouncer says. "Seeing eye dog? It's a chihauhua!" And the guys says, "They gave me a chihuahua?"

Management said they wanted to hire 200 ALJ's next year. As far as the position description, both have been posted on this Board for comparison, you can easily see the difference and will realize that it is not just an update, but a big, big, change, giving management much more control over everything we do. It is an insult to all of us for them to expect us to believe mistruths such as these.

Thanks for the smile, Mike! You're welcome LL2. I saw this in the newspaper this morning and it made me smile. Words of wisdom from one of our greatest philosophers, Winne the Pooh. Enjoy the day! “When you wake up in the morning, Pooh,’ said Piglet at last, what’s the first thing you say to yourself?" “What’s for breakfast?" said Pooh. "What do you say, Piglet?" “I say, I wonder what’s going to happen exciting today?" said Piglet. “Pooh nodded thoughtfully. It’s the same thing," he said.

I think Hobbits are onto something what with Second Breakfast.

Did you hear the one about the 732 attorneys on the Register that didn't make the first cert? Is that like the one about the 500 attorneys? ("What do you call 500 attorneys chained together at the bottom of the ocean? - A good start.")

Sort of LL2, but here they are always asking when is the next cert going to be pulled for a 2015 hire?
