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. I gave my paralegal a paper to proofread for a presentation I am doing in a few weeks. She does it the old fashioned red pen way and then I make or don't make her changes on the computer, as I do my final edits. This is the most red ink I have seen in a long time. Is my mind on something else perhaps?

-- "I see that someone has been hired for the Chattanooga office. Congratulations and welcome! I am the Chattanooga LAR. If you write me privately, I can provide some information to help you with your new position." --
Good idea. I am the Brooklyn LAR (the hearing office representative of our union) and will be glad to respond to messages from our new colleague -- or is it colleagues? -- in the Brooklyn office. I promise to be diligent about checking for your messages at least once a day.
And of course, as always, congrats to all our new ALJs.

Has anyone received details, especially regarding report date and training dates? I recently received a transfer from OMHA to ODAR and I will be reporting to my new office at the end of the month. I also have a vacation to the UK planned, (and paid for), for the last week of July and first week of August, which I suspect will be smack dab in the middle of training. While I know I need to keep my eye on the big picture of transferring home, I would really like to keep my travel plans.

If as seems likely you will be training with those hired from the register, you will have three weeks of training in your HO--6/27-7/15--followed by four weeks of training in FC--7/18-8/12.

July 18--Aug 12
Aug 15--Sep 9
Oct 11--Nov 4
