I received a call from OMHA a few moments ago asking if I were still interested in KC. They are checking references.

Although I hope it isn't true, I think this is the effect of lurker's analysis, too (and seems plausible based on how things have played out thus far). If it is the case, I am also looking at the second cert unless there are a whole lot of very geographically limited people at the top of the first cert, which I suppose could still be the case. Agreed. I think Funky's analysis is very accurate with the possible exception that he has understated the number of 1st certers who had extremely limited glamour-city GAL's and thus are essentially unemployable. I suspect that is a very significant number, and that outsiders are affected disproportionately by this factor. There will be a significant number of GAL-limited 2nd certers, also, and thus the 2nd cert will have to reach a little farther down the score list to come up with 110 employable candidates, including the leftovers from the 1st cert and the new 2nd certers.

It seems that the only people that would need time to decide would be the people on both Certs. Otherwise, the people left (and our board members) will say a resounding YES as soon as we get the call. How many more can there possibly be before things start to get moving?? A MODEST PROPOSAL Perhaps on future certs SSA should let people know when narrowing their GALs that, unless they have a competing ALJ offer to consider, they will have to accept or decline immediately if/when Bob calls, since they will have had two chances to craft their GALs and since they will only receive an offer for a location they have twice said is OK.

Duke just posted on polling that he was not on the OMHA cert. He appears to be the first person on this site who got an offer that was not on both certs. Perhaps the log jam is breaking.
