A very nice SSA personnel specialist, Mr. Graham, called my home, my primary number. I wasn't there and we got in contact via my cell phone as I was waiting for a flight many states from home. Frankly, I didn't wait for Mr. Graham to ask if I would accept or decline; I immediately accepted. The report date was 21 June, but I've submitted a request to report in July. I crossed off very few cities on the list of potential openings. I'm delighted to have been selected on my first go round, because I'm not sure I could go through all this again. Now I can tell the transportation office where the furniture is going ! And, like others, I think the wait has been harder on my family than me.

Did you get the call today (Saturday) or yesterday? |

Professor,
CCJ started this thread to let us know of her offer last Friday.

I am surprised by the quick deadline for response. Aside from the amusing "we-waited-too-long-and-now-YOU-have-to-hurry" dynamic, I thought they historically gave up to a week, or at least three days, which I had ASSUMED were business days. I guess the weekend is technically "3 days," but it still surprises me.

I guess the weekend is technically "3 days," but it still surprises me. I got the call on a Friday in 2005 and was given until Monday to decide. Since my wife had never been to the city I was offered, I called her at work and after she got out of work, we drove to the city to check it out for the weekend. I called to accept on Monday. And then had around two months until the class started--hurry up and wait indeed. |
