And if you are just browsing the polls or waiting, please use the "I like to push buttons" vote in the city poll. It will keep you from accidentally voting and causing anxiety. If you get an offer, uncheck that vote, and pick your city. Thank you!

I'm going to go out on a limb here and take one for the Scobies. Somebody has to bare the burden of being the first call in the morning. So Bob or nice young lady whichever is making calls I am here for you.

They have to pick from the top 3 for a position. As they work through the early selections, the selectees will be eliminated from the top 3s of other slots. In addition, some candidates will accumulate three considerations and will not have to be considered in any more top 3s unless and until SSA reaches a position for which it wishes to hire that candidate. As they work through the positions for which they hire, the scores of those hired will generally get lower, and indeed will include hires that could not have been reached in a top 3 if the position was filled earlier in the process.

Good luck everyone! If you don't receive the golden ticket this time around...let yourself be sad for about 5 minutes then realize that tomorrow is right around the corner. I truly believe that now is a good time to be on the register. SSA plans on doing quite a bit of hiring. OMHA will also be looking for a few good judges. So, whatever the outcome, don't despair. Like we used to say in the AF....it's better to be on the list waiting, than waiting to be on the list! Like Hamster...I didn't get picked up the first time around and then had the joy of going through the entire testing process again. So don't despair, this will not be a huge hire...but more will be in the near future!

Congratulations to all who have received calls from Bob and his crew.
You're going to love this job! It is challenging and rewarding. You will work some long hours when you get back from training, but like your first year of law school, once you get the hang of it, you will become more efficient and love it compared to practicing law.
Enjoy your time in Falls Church. The folks in your class will be some of your closest friends as you learn your craft and begin your new career.
For those of you still waiting, keep breathing. Your time will come, with persistence and patience.

Today is a day where we wake up certain in the knowledge that at least a few Board members are going to become ALJs before the sun sets. This is a tremendously exciting day! My own odds are slim -- I doubt they're getting to my score before tomorrow, if at all this week -- but I still have one ear glued to my phone, and I'm still hoping that many of you all get your golden ticket today as well.
So, best wishes and hearty congratulations to all those among us who are getting that call today.
And, in the immortal words of Leslie Nielsen from "Airplane!"... "I just want to wish you both good luck. We're all counting on you."

You (and agilitymom and hamster) are among those who show that the persistence and patience can really pay off. Congratulations to those who have received offers, and those who will in the coming days!

A fellow board member asked me to report s/he accepted a position in Valpo. This person is an insider, non-vet, and will make an excellent judge. Congrats to all!

Long time lurker, first time poster. Got the golden ticket voicemail yesterday after a day in court without my phone. Tried to accept last night but didn't get through until this morning. Sorry to be the hold up folks but I did try. Non-vet, outsider. Northeast location. Will vote shortly. Hopefully this will get the ball rolling again. Good luck everyone and thank you for providing such useful (and entertaining) information on this two year journey.
