AM - I hate to pry, but did you get the call on your cell or your home phone? Actually received the call at work...even though I listed my cell as the preferred number. Don't have a home land line any longer.

Alright. To put everyone's speculation to rest. I was called by Bob and received and accepted the offer for Morgantown. Of course, this now opens up the position in Cleveland with OMHA. Before everyone (or at least the select few) starts slinging bad words about being unprofessional, I was upfront with OMHA and they were well aware that the first offers they made might be adversely impacted by SSA offers. So, if you don't have something nice to say, please walk away from the keyboard. This is supposed to be a professional group. PS. I live in Morgantown and have been a geographic bachelorette for 5 years (I currently work in DC). It will be nice to actually live at home. Congratulations AM. I'm glad you got the city you wanted. I'm just sorry that I won't get to meet you at OMHA training. Good luck! Thanks Wayne! I bet we'll all be jealous of your position!

Don't have a home land line any longer. I am taking leave today. I just checked my work number just for this situation. No call, but at least I was smart to check. Congratulations.

At least sandi's avatar was wearing some clothes when he inquired about AM's bachelorette situation.

Congratulations am! You have outlined something new indeed--Bob and Puzzle Palace scooping OMHA with a hometown offer. Needless to say, this is very heady stuff. I say buy a bottle of Pol Roger Champagne on the way home to Morgantown. If you can't find that go for the Laurent Perrier.

If neither of those, might I recommend a fine vintage of MD 20/20 aged a full week.

A week minus 1 hour is more like it. However, a manic high is plausible.

At the risk of stating the obvious ...
Does anyone have any question about the accuracy of Pixie's information now???
Like I said ... I've been on the board since week one.
The Pixie's always right!!
Congrats agilitymom!!

Congrats agilitymom!! ht This was Pixie's information: I have heard the first class will start in August. If that is true, then offers should be going out in a week or so. Other classes set for September, October and November. I can't vouch for the accuracy of the August class being the first, however. AM didn't give us a start date. I don't think there's going to be TRAINING for new ALJs in August, but there's certainly room to start in the office in August. Given that the offers may take a couple of weeks to complete (possibly more, but we're in uncharted water here) the second group training in October makes sense. A November class for new ALJs (this was the first we'd heard about that) could theoretically be for a second cert, if that training happens. November's a hard month to do a long training course in, though, because of the holidays. I think the jury's still out on that one.

Congrats AM!! I think it's FAR better to be upfront and then when what you really wanted comes up to accept it! May we all have such incredible luck/blessings! How excellent to be able to start off where you want to be!

Congratulations Shrek on getting Fresno!! (just bumping this up and adding to it, so we can try to keep track under a heading that makes sense).

Congratulations Shrek on getting Fresno!! (just bumping this up and adding to it, so we can try to keep track under a heading that makes sense). And here I thought you got an offer too... . Good call on the bump. It looks like there is a collusion/collaboration going on between OMHA and SSA. If Lebron can make a decision today, I would hope SSA could do the same thing. SSA needs to make all calls to every dual-certed (is that a word?) person on the register who successfully interviewed with both OMHA and SSA, in their own attempt to steal back the best candidates. Assuming SSA can do this, the one-certers (SSA cert) should see calls starting next week - that's my hope for you all!
