In 2008, the day they sent the notices, I waited all day...nothing. I went home and checked my email....nothing. I was about to give up and then...at 8 pm...

I guess this sums up my feelings. Looking for Bob to take me to a better place.

My 12 year old daughter came from for school today and told me that she was not selected to participate in Science Congress. She was a 1st runner up. She was crying and while trying to console her I told her what I should really remember myself: you did the best you could, you did better than most, look how many other kids did not even make it to the next round, and you have the right to be disappointed but remember you have many other wonderful accomplishments. I am taking a two week vacation starting today. I am shutting down my laptop. I have never taken two weeks off since I started working and I am going enjoy this time with my kids and my husband and look forward to my trip to New Orleans next week. I have never met any of you but you have been by my side side through a rough time. Thanks! Happy Holidays and Happy New Year to everyone. meanmom (this story doesn't sound mean--are you being ironic, or are you just bad at being a mean mom?), while you're in town, head over to Drago's (I prefer the Metairie location, but there's one in the Hilton at the foot of Poydras Street) and have the charbroiled oysters. TO DIE FOR!

I've been at the beach since Wed. What'd I miss? Should I stop checking my phone for calls from Falls Church?

Nothing much going on now. for a good catch up thread go to the polls and look at the cities just offered. 22 or 23 hired for Jan 26th so far. But not sure if that is it or if they are stalled on someone returning a call. Some think it is done for now but I am not so sure. I need to see a full 24 hours go by before I believe it.

With 23 reported here, plus the 2 reported earlier in the year, then throw in a few who are not accounted for they should be at ~30 hires for the January class, which is what they were reported to be shooting for. I gotta think they are going to shut down for Christmas/New Year and start back at it, hiring for the next class, starting the first work day of the New Year. Personally I am looking forward to not worrying about this for a couple of weeks.

I received a call from Bob this morning and accepted a position at Harlingen TX. Report date is 25 Jan. We are looking forward to being back in Texas. I asked Bob how big of class I would be in and he said that he was shooting for 40 but only had today, Monday and Tuesday to make offers. So they are not yet done with offers. I have found this board to be extremely informative and appreciate all of the information that has been shared. Good luck everyone as I hope to meet everyone some day, hopefully soon.

Congrats to all of the recent selectees. For those still waiting, keep the faith. Thank you to everyone contributing valuable intel and educated analysis, and I hope each of us can find some time this weekend to recharge. I was one of the fortunate hires earlier in the week (25 Jan. report date) and I voted in the polls. I'm sincerely rooting for everyone still waiting. All the best.

I'd like to point out how cool of a name "Judge Foxbadger" is - I'm assuming that's legit, right?

I was feeling some Board fatigue this week so decided to try Candy Crush for some distraction. I do not recommend this. This is one game that will guarantee to make you more crazy and more obsessed than waiting tor Bob's call.

I don't suppose any insiders want to drive into the office to check whether Bob is at work today?
On a more serious note, I know many of you are starting your holiday travels. I will be wishing you safe travels and stress free trips.
