I just received confirmation that an offer has been made and accepted for Flint MI. He is taking his own water.
He is so new he hasn't figured out how to vote in the polls, but I explained how to do it. Also told him I would do it for him if he couldn't figure it out, or perhaps didn't have time to fool with it. Pixe.

Number Six: You are Number One now! Congrats!!!!! Don't think I didnt see what you just did there, jagvet. An obscure "The Prisoner" reference. But appropriate. That's it! JI thanks for catching that. And thanks for the promotion, Jagvet. Thanks for the well wishes. I really appreciate all of you!

I am a newbie and do not want to impose, but this has sure been an exciting few days on this board. It is great to see all of you advance and the enthusiasm with which you are approaching the job bodes well for SSA.
Good luck to those waiting and big congrats to the newly appointed.

So while the cats were over bating the newbies around like toy mice, and provoking Pixie the guard dog with threats of expanding discussions of the greatness of the application manager ... The newly hired ALJs snuck in and posted a whole bunch of new scores on the polls!
3 more 76 2 at 75 And ... 1 at 73!!!
And cities: Omaha, and a second Flint has filtered through. (Yes, I went there).

So happy for all those who got the call. I'm excited for all of you, and also anxiously swinging from "I'll never get it" to "the acceptees' NORs are creeping closer to mine and it *could* happen maybe possibly."
I keep trying to follow the advice to carry on, but then I pause -- should I wait to install that brand-new Toto toilet, since if we move, this 1200-sq.-foot house'll be a tear-down and someone will build a midi-mansion and sell it for literally 10 times what my father-in-law paid for it in 1973. Should I repot that anthurium on my desk that needs more room to grow? And gack--what on earth would I do with all those office plants and ceramic frogs and this vast (but amusing) pile of tchotchkes that accumulated in my work space? Oh, and if my potted plants at work are a problem, the plants in my yard are bigger ones, literally and emotionally. (Yes, I get emotional about plants, though I feel foolish admitting it.)
At this point in the manic phase I realize that I'm getting way ahead of things and what I really need to do is draft this document that is taking an inordinately long time to finish. Must be bc it's really really hard. Once my heart rate slows, I place my fingers on the keyboard and start. After a while, though, visions of Tupelo drift through my brain. Bet I could have a fine garden there. Hey, maybe I could move some plants there. How big a camellia could I take with me? Oh, no the lace-leaf maples! I canNOT leave them to be crushed. The cryptomerias must come too. Maybe I could rent a bobcat, dig and burlap all I can, hold a plant rescue for friends and neighbor's take anything they want since developers would bulldoze it all anyway....
After about ten rounds of that, I crash, vowing to be productive tomorrow. Keep calm and carry on. No matter what.
again, sincere congrats to all the new honorables, and special congrats to our board friends.

Congratulations to all of those receiving offers and welcome to the corps. For those still waiting, there is more hiring to occur yet. Keep your fingers crossed and your answers ready. Gaidin I believe based upon information given to me there were two hires for Flint, Michigan. I just wanted to be clear for the numbers aspect of hires.
