Do you think Dr. Drew would diagnose frequent checking of the board as an addiction? Refresh. Refresh. I don't know about anybody else. Refresh. But I can stop obsessively checking the Board. Refresh. Any. Refresh. Time. Refresh. I. Refresh. Want. Refresh. Refresh. How's that working out for you, Gary?

Wow, Orchid just Stockton and Tucson left. Oh, my! No Presidential signature on CRomnibus yet, so likely no hiring yet.

The real question (in my mind at least) is whether the hiring committee is meeting all this week. If so, I don't think we will see offers until next week. Hope springs eternal, though. Good luck everybody!

If we are waiting for the hiring committee to finish and they finish Friday could we get calls on Saturday? . Just looking for a little sunshine.

Who's to say they have to meet the full two weeks? Didn't they meet for only one week last time to make 90 hires (which ended up being only 70)?
I bet they scheduled two full weeks as overkill, but got the job done in six days due to how awesome we all are. According to my new calculations - that are based off of the forgoing reliable and impeccable analysis - today is going to be the day!
Good luck everyone!

But if we're all equally awesome, won't that make the hiring committee's selections even harder?

The penultimate city of the day for the second cert is Stockton. Good luck everyone waiting for the call today.
Stockton is a city in and the county seat of San Joaquin County, north−central California.[15] The city is located on the San Joaquin River, in the northern San Joaquin Valley, and has a population of 300,899 people as of 2014.[14]
During the Great Depression, the town's canning industry became the battleground of a labor dispute resulting in the Spinach Riot of 1937. In 1933, the port was modernized, and the Stockton Deepwater Channel improving water passage to San Francisco Bay was deepened and completed. This created commercial opportunities that fueled the city's growth. The Rough and Ready Island naval base was established, placing Stockton in a strategic position during the Cold War.
During World War II, the Stockton Assembly Center was built on the San Joaquin County Fairgrounds, a few blocks from what was then the city center. One of fifteen temporary detention sites run by theWartime Civilian Control Administration, the center held some 4,200 Japanese Americans removed from their West Coast homes under Executive Order 9066, while they waited for transfer to more permanent and isolated camps in the interior of the country. The center opened on May 10, 1942 and operated until October 17, when the majority of its population was sent to Rohwer, Arkansas. The former incarceration site was named a California Historical Landmark in 1980, and in 1984 a marker was erected at the entrance to the fairgrounds.[26]
In September 1996, the Base Realignment and Closure Commission announced the final closure of Stockton's Naval Reserve Center on Rough and Ready Island. The island's facilities had served as a major communications outpost for submarine activities in the Pacific during the Cold War. The site is slowly being redeveloped as commercial property.
