Poor Foghorn, cannot catch a break even when making nice. I got it Foghorn; that your main sentiment is that Pixie is both wise and just (with parenthesis comment, a lighthearted bit of avatar humor).

If that is the case, clarity in expression (and without bias) is a well favored skill in the WD. Just my 2 cents.

foghorn, really? You are describing Pixie by her avatar. Her avatar "appearance" trumps her long-standing leadership and wisdom on this Board? Be careful there, sailor, lest you draw consternation Actually, I think he was giving me a compliment. Pixie

You're the boss, ok, then. Drew consternation from me only, I guess.

I got it Foghorn; that your main sentiment is that Pixie is both wise and just (with parenthesis comment, a lighthearted bit of avatar humor). Thank you for your support, but I was referring not to her avatar--though her external apopearance is doubtless comely--I refer to the beauty of Pixies's inner spirit which informs her justice impelling it toward wisdom. Those whose minds are ....if not in the gutter in the pages of tabloids, seeking the base everywhere, I urge you to look to her as your lodestar. Avatar,schmavatar--I was disciussing what I perceive to be the inner Pixie, whose patience is writ large in her well tempered and good natured responses while juggling this board of public service (at least to the applicant public) on top of work and her personal obligations.

Gee Foghorn - did you do something else to annoy Pixie? Whenever my kids "wax poetic" I am very suspicious that perhaps they did more things over and above the 1 bad act. i.e. don't lay it on too thick! lol

Maybe he has been bad again. Thanks for the heads up. I will look at his other posts. Pixie

Truth will out, illuminated by the corruscating refulgence of the truly selfless work of Pixie and of and by the elders, who though they've been wearied and harried by the opinion production matrix from heck,spend time to show us encouragement, information, all of which are invaluable in a murky system where the really useful information is (for good reason) kept under wraps.
Without these good works we'd all be fumbling (contrast that with USDJ/CJ appointments whose political sponsors feed them the questions they'll be asked, have minions assist in the crafting of their documents, provide a daylight marked path that requires no inquiry about what lies ahead.) Without the board we'd be like mariners setting out over a sea which we know has currents (but where, and which direction?), a compass that is at best accurate within 12 degrees, (unless near any metal in which case it bonks), a map suggesting that some way a ways there is a land mass and noting "here be monsters." Lay it on thick? Parsimonious praise I think.

Sorry--meant to say "legends" in the last post, not elders. (Though Eldar is a legend.)
Thank you, legends.

I'd go into management and beg to do interviews if this becomes interview attire something tells me very few candidates will be as good looking in a kilt as the owner...i'm sticking with cargo shorts...

It's quiet in here.
Are we out of things to worry about?

So I scheduled the first day. When should we hear about the "automatic" schedule for the second day? I haven't received anything on that yet.

They give you your ticket to the SI, if you survive Day One. The ticket will have your time on it.

That means many who are unable to get a late flight out the day of the interview will have to pony up for another night in a hotel and book a flight out the morning following the interview when it may not even be necessary.

and pay enough attention to hear your name, They called for me and i was oblivious, figured it out at the end before we left at least and a tired group of attorneys, including Chris herself, got a good laugh at Chris' expense

Pixie Unless they have a large number that drop out of the WD/logic based test they could give out the times. I think it's part of the excessive need-to-know playing in to the "mysteries" aspect of the questions. We all know what topics are going to be on the bar, no reason we can't know some more details as to content, but ......perhaps they want to see how lively on our feet we are. Your Chief Judge says they need you to fill in in Pittsburgh tomorrow am they want to see if you are a "whatever it takes" kind of person. Or they just want to be puckish, to put it politely.
It's their party, and we'll cry if we want to (you will cry too, if 7am interview happens to you)

I guess it's a small taste of what life is like as a fed.
I actually want an early interview, because that would give me an extra day to play tourist. 5 minutes in a phone booth and I will emerge as SuperTourist, interview dress and heels shoved into my Tardis-like purse!
(I get extra points for the Dr. Who reference, btw.)
