We interrupt your regularly scheduled programming for a word from funky:
"ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
We now return you to "Offer Wait 2014"

I think things will speed up once this weird pas de deux with OMHA is over. It's not going to be as fast as in the past, but if (and that could be a big if) they have offers lined up a certain way, and they are going with preferences to the extent we've seen so far but have contingency plans if someone does decline, it could still go quickly once it starts moving.

I believe the new policy is to hire no more than one new ALJ a day. That way, the future retirements will be staggered and they won't have to worry about everyone leaving at once. Just a thought..

Your "Shut Up and Color" assignment for today is to complete the following post:
Nobody likes sitting on the plane at the gate...
especially when... <Fill in the blank.>
(e.g., the man in the Matrix sunglasses starts muttering about marathons, or some guy waxes poetic of the literary stylistics of dead presidents.)

Bartleby, won't the training costs skyrocket, though? They'll have to have a class going every month or so for just 20 new, shellshocked, mental basketcase ALJs. They'll have to have trauma counselors on hand at all the hearing offices, just to deal with the constant trickle of battered, psychologically broken folks.

Are we sure battered and psychologically broken would be an unintended consequence? Just asking.

...they hear the pilot ask, "Anyone seen the Quick Start Guide?"

the flight attendant announces, "We'll be departing as soon as the pilot finishes reading the operating manual."

As to the original topic of this thread, I think we need to change the name to "Will this be the month?", as weeks no longer seem to be long enough, except for more than a few hires a week.

Maybe they just liked agilitymom and shrek and said, "To heck with the rest of that Mötley Crüe(tm)"?

the co-pilot is overheard telling the pilot, "I double dare you to do a hammerhead."

Two thoughts: 1) Bob probably takes his AWS day on Mondays, so relax First Certers and 2) ... when an announcement is made, "Ladies and gentlemen, there will be a short delay while we clean up the vomit in Aisle 16 ... and Aisle 17, ... and Aisle 18. Thank you for your patience."

Unconfirmed reports that Bob was in today.

Upon advice from several people I trust - I decided to change to a generic avatar for the duration of the current process. In the current environment, one never knows when someone will be offended and by what. Better safe than sorry - perhaps a coward's refrain, but not without a certain amount of practical wisdom. I really did not like the Ace avatar. Good move.
