Congratulations to all of the new Judges! I encourage you to join FALJC and/or AALJ to continue the camaraderie in person. If you can attend, the conferences are a blast.

Heard third hand of an acceptance in Madison. If anyone could confirm, that'd be helpful. Madison is half of the two cities I have left on my GAL this go round.

Ok. I admit it. That was ALSO a shameful ploy to get folks to send me PMs now that funky will be too busy for lil' ol' Miss. It was also shameless.

Ladies and gentlemen, I just received an email from Bob. It was an offer. I know that sounds strange but I called and accepted. He said they are trying to speed turnaround. I will post details after I am fully revived. Funky, I know you have been sweating this out, but frankly, this is the least surprising thing I have read since I have been following this board. We, your fans, never had any doubts! Congrats!

Funky, please accept my belated congratulations. I can tell that you'll do very well in the position. It's a whole new set of problems, but at least it is offset somewhat by increased remuneration. I think we are all looking forward to the insights you can offer after you have been doing the job awhile.

Well, that confirms it. My absence from the board brings the offers in. Congratulations everyone.

SSA email is up, but according to Lync, Bob's not in the office. I posted Saturday thinking perhaps it would allow some of our first certers without access to our system to relax and enjoy the weekend. Bob's last name has been on the Board which is the only way I know it. If checking the status of a fellow employee on Lync is stalking, that's news to me. Good luck this week everyone - hope things will speed up for those of you who are waiting.

That was a little joke - I was accused of stalking Bob earlier in this process. It's kind of what I'm known for, unfortunately. I'm trying to pivot to polling and numerical analysis. Feel free to continue your surveillance reports of Bob.

Question for Funky or anyone else receiving emails... Did the email come to your home email address or your work one? I ask because I am that crazy person that thought I didn't make the Cert until Monday because my email didnt arrive until 7:30 am on monday even though it was sent on friday. ALso, my travel information for the SSA interview was sent to both home and work. The only thing that has been sent to both places.

Mine came to my private gmail like all other emails from ssa and opm.
Crossing fingers for everyone to get some closure this week.

Giving credit where it's due, Ace - I got the idea from you. I was pretty sure you hadn't traveled to FC and donned the invisibility cloak to give your reports on Bob's status. I was just taking the weekend shift. I was getting concerned about the stressometer readings on some of our first certers so I tried to help. I am more concerned about the suggestion that it was somehow criminal to check Lync! I sure hope not. That's how I figure out who might be available for lunch.

A week or so ago, we have had one report of a offer being made at 9:00 am CDT. Lately, the notifications of offers seem to be clustered around 2:00 pm CDT on this board. I was just curious for those who received offers were you contacted in the morning or has everything moved to the afternoon.

Confirming I accepted an offer today from SSA for Knoxville - start 9/22 (my birthday). Call came while I am at Wrigley with my son for the first time! Good day!!
(No, not a Cubs fan. But my son is a baseball fanatic. And my Dad was a Die Hard. Maybe he had SSA wait until I was at his shrine ...)
