It seems to have an NFL draft feel to it, but that is only 32 locations and they just get 10 minutes to choose. Hard to believe that starting with thousands and needing hundreds, this comes down to a one pick at a time before going to the next one process. I never really knew what waiting was before. After they check your height to see if you are tall enough to ride space mountain, you don't wait 3 hours to see if the ride is still open or if they will even let you on if it is. There are times when they need an answer from one offeree before they can proceed. At other times they can have multiple offers going out at once.

I finally understand the discussion about accepting immediately. If it gets held up, it could hold up the whole process. That means less time to give notice at work, move, etc. I don't have a horse (or rather, turtle) in this race, but it sure seems like torture waiting. Hang in there!

Did we ever get a concensus on whether we think offers will be made today. Iirc people have said they used to make Saturday calls. Others have said, on this board, they were confident Saturday calls would not be made. Any of our board "in the know" wish to weigh in on this with some intel? They are not in today.

For those that have been lucky enough to get the offer, if you are willing to share, I'd be really interested where the city you got was in your ranking order of locations?

Congrats! I can see why you got the call, since you are younger and better looking than your avatar If those are the criteria: I'M DOOMED!!!! I can beam you aboard, Gary Seven! And your cat, Isis (or is it ISIS)?

IL: I had 4 cities on my GAL, all of them were on the certs this round, and I got number 1 choice. Last round, my number one city was the only one on the cert and they didn't hire there.

I also had only 4 cities on my GAL, but only one was on the certs this round. I know how unbelievably lucky I am to have been hired there. This location would have been 3rd or 4th if I could have ranked all of my GAL cities, but it's still a great location for me.

Welcome to the week that will hopefully fill the next class of ALJs. For the record, I will be taking a deposition almost all day - so as far as Murphy's Law goes . . . I will try to check my phone when I can, but I am NOT trying to take 24 hours to return the call, I just may not be able to get back to ODAR asap, but it will be by COB or it will be an email. As litigators, I am sure there are several dozen of us in the same boat this week - court, depos, hearings, etc. Good luck to the rest of us who are waiting to see if this round of certs will be "the" round we get hired in.

Okay, it's Monday morning. No calls so far. I would have thought given the lull on Friday, they would have started first thing today. Hopefully things pick up. Still waiting by the phone...... Melinda, please call
