I don't suppose any insiders want to drive into the office to check whether Bob is at work today? On a more serious note, I know many of you are starting your holiday travels. I will be wishing you safe travels and stress free trips. I would assume some may already be and able to check. Edit: none of the hiring folks are in. Enjoy the weekend. See you Monday.

A big congratulations. I hope several more people hear over early next week. I don't think I will since I only had one city on this cert and it looks like they have already hired for it. Fingers crossed for me and others on future ones.

Fingers crossed for me and others on future ones. You may be right, but I wouldn't give up on this hire just yet. Our City poll shows that they've hired more than one new ALJ for some locations so you could still be in the hunt for a January start.

I received a call from Bob this morning and accepted a position at Harlingen TX. Report date is 25 Jan. We are looking forward to being back in Texas. I asked Bob how big of class I would be in and he said that he was shooting for 40 but only had today, Monday and Tuesday to make offers. So they are not yet done with offers. I have found this board to be extremely informative and appreciate all of the information that has been shared. Good luck everyone as I hope to meet everyone some day, hopefully soon. Great intel! Thanks for posting. And congrats on a huge life change in 2015!

Bteaking news wannabes. Just received a pm from a poster requesting anonymity. They were offered Mt Pleasant yesterday and called in and accepted this morning. Thus, at least some hiring action happened over the weekend.
Congrats to the newest alj and welcome to the Corps.

One Starbucks?? Shudder..... There is another one in the Target. Do not worry though; my understanding is that you can turn down the offer if you don't want it.

Pleasant is unfortunately not on my GAL. I am just glad to hear they have a Target. I get right snooty about my shopping choices. I don't even really like coffee, I just felt someone should comment on the dearth of Starbucks in the greater Mt. Pleasant Metropolitan Area.

I see a poll in the making - "Is there a Starbucks within walking distance of the Hearing Office?" That could be a defining data point for future GAL narrowing ...

Starbucks was definitely in my GAL matrix. Gaidin, I must admit that there is not a Chick-Fil-A in Mount Pleasant, and I have a real problem with that. Other than that, as of today we have two slots left, and from a training and work environment perspective I can highly recommend it.
Good luck,

Idiotic Platitude: "There are no dumb questions."
Au Contraire - - There are many dumb questions:
Example: Tourist in Washington DC: "Pardon me, are there any Starbucks nearby?"
(PS: Crab - Good to see you back on the Board.)

Thanks, dude, it's good to come up for air finally - even for a water-loving crustacean like me. Here's to hoping more offers keep rolling out tomorrow!

Real cricket concert today ! What happened to two more days of offers ? We appear to have had two new votes today in both the city poll and the NOR poll. No posts about them that I've seen though.

Real cricket concert today ! What happened to two more days of offers ? Check the polls. Looks like Lexington and two Indiana cities have been added today with corresponding NORs also reported in the polls. Keep your phones handy!
