Got the call. Initially offered 6/27 start day, but was able to get 7/11. This discussion board has gotten me through so much over the past two years and I am so grateful for all of you. I am praying that the calls will continue and that we will have cause for much more celebration in the coming weeks. Congratulations! Please vote in the polls. And confirm by PM to one of us the location of your acceptance, if you haven't already. Congratulations on your new job. Pixie.

Aside from deferrals, anybody have previous knowledge on how early they have extended offers prior to start date?

Aside from deferrals, anybody have previous knowledge on how early they have extended offers prior to start date? Several years ago, 2011 or so, under the old register, one group had about three months notice. That is way outside the norm, however. 3-4 weeks is most common.

Anyone out there old enough to remember calling up a radio DJ and asking for a special song dedication? Well, this song goes out to all of our board friends still waiting for The Call - may the offers come fast and furious on Monday morning.

Of the many awful Rolling Stones music videos this is the winner. The song however is pretty solid and the sentiment top notch.

So now, if I do get the call, I will imagine the person on the other end of the call to look like Keith Richards.

The Sonny Rollins saxophone solo on that song is A+++.

You must be a lot older than I am. You mean you could just pick up the phone and call the DJ?

I am so old that when I called the radio station to talk to a DJ for that song request, I didn't even have to dial an area code!

I am also old enough to remember when most of what we listened to was AM radio. Does anyone else remember drive in movies and putting people in the car trunk to get more people in for the same price?

I remember calling the DJ for requests and then sitting by the radio with portable cassette recorder ready to push record when the song came on and hoping the DJ didn't talk over the song. We have a local Drive In movie still in operation, but alas, there is no SSA hearing office nearby.

Our drive-in just charged by the vehicle!

That's not what people were put into trunks for in Chicago.

And then there was the Cheech and Chong skit where the guys were stuck in the trunk...
