I will be with you if you will be good. I actually have a full life away from this board. I am going to dinner tonight, so everyone be sane. Remember I can check from my phone, and ALJD is watching also. This applies to you as well, J. Pumpkin! Pixie. I just knew there was a reason I felt compelled to log on again after arriving home this evening. I was going to see what details might have been posted about any additional calls this afternoon, but I guess the status of the calls for tonight is complete.

Call me weird, I don't even know them, and I am on pins and needles waiting for G and G to report that they got the call. Good luck to you both and to all of you waiting for the call. Hope it comes soon and you get the city where you most want to go (or stay).

Stop baiting us Newbies - we have already been banished from all but our designated threads to obsess over OPMs failure to send us a COMPLETE on our Status or Details for us to see..... I am however enjoying seeing everyone's posts who got offers. Great job all! I know the rest will get calls this week or for the next class worst case - keep the faith - after all what other choice have you?

My apologies - truly no baiting intended. Just misbehavin' but trying to keep it under the level of an impeachable offense.
And, of course, trying to stay under the level of board banishment - I want to be able to see when the "Got the Call" posts come in for my favorite board members!

You will be surprised. There is some formality. All of Representatives and VEs stand up. I just have to get used to saying please sit down instead of carry on! You are in a different world than I. I've had one attorney stand up when addressing me (not usually an SSI attorney), and I consider myself lucky if I can get the VEs to stay awake/off Facebook long enough to give me testimony during the hearings, let alone stand up. It doesn't bother me, frankly, but it's just surprising to hear some reps and VEs carry that level of formality. Never ever ever had a VE stand up (or look interested and not sound like a robot). Do I not get the call now for saying that?

That's funny, but it is true! There is no glory in this job, just hard work, lots of work, and extra work if you really would like some!
And no good deed goes unpunished! Oh, and don't forget the death threats too, can't get enough of those! Having said all those cheerful comments, it is still the best decision I have made since convincing my wife to marry me 25 years ago!
Once again, good luck to everybody on this board!
Those death threats--are they from claimants, reps, coworkers, or your wife? All of the above and Funky! ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) Just one so far and all ALJs get them during their career unless you pay 80% or higher.

There was some enjoyment this morning when all the partners at my firm stood up when I entered their meeting and then asked me if they could be seated. I explained that if they had ever been to a Social Security hearing they would realize that was the first and last time that would happen. You will be surprised. There is some formality. All of Representatives and VEs stand up. I just have to get used to saying please sit down instead of carry on! I don't even see how that is possible? I'm already at the bench sitting down before the Rep and Claimant walks in and sits down, but yes you are in a very different office than I have ever heard of, but I am very friendly with everybody (in real life, not on this board) and everybody knows that I never take myself too seriously, but I do take my oath to follow the law seriously!

Comfort breaks require me to leave the bench. Remember, Army, not NASA. We are not issued diapers.

There I s no hiding the fact one is on the register waiting for a call when you have to list half the known work universe you belong to as references! They talk to their friends and pretty soon everyone you see everyday wants an update on your status! I didn't even consider the humiliation factor that goes along with this process when I applied. I remember well that gut check to my pride when I had to tell opposing counsel (not to mention my competition who were perhaps more brutal in their banality) that I had not gotten the call. In fact, I know I will never forget it. But there was a lesson here and I was destined to learn it--from the inside out. Like most lessons of this kind it was painful, but so powerful in its clarity. I hear you and Gaidin.

Ok, makes sense as to how, and yes that is a very formal practice, but there is nothing wrong with that either. On the diapers, don't give the Agency any ideas, they may start issuing them and raise our yearly quota! ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

I'll say it: you're weird. But we all are. That's what makes us one big, happy, dysfunctional, totally neurotic family. p.s. -- I'm waiting to hear about them, too. And keeping everything crossed for them.
