A workmate got the call today so the wheels continue to move. Fantabulous!
Can they vote in the polls? Can you vote for them in the polls?

I GOT THE CALL!!! I a.m crying... Maybe this is too much information, especially for such a serial lurker... but here goes. This is especially emotional as my father, who lives out of state, fell and was put into hospice care the Friday before my interview at Falls Church. He was adamant that I should not come see him or reschedule my interview on Tuesday. He said he wanted me to go forward with the interview and then come see him. He died Sunday... I went ahead with the interview on Tuesday, per his wishes. SO DAD... I DID IT!!!

Congrats to all the newly minted ALJs from this awesome board. I have been humbled by reading the stories of perseverance, patience, and unselfish support among members. I am happy to report that I will be joining the ranks. Bob called yesterday and offered a start date of July 25. This Banjo just got picked.

It's often said that his process is a marathon. Having run 24 I can agree. It takes preparation, mental fortitude and perseverance.
However, I believe it is actually the Boston Marathon that we are all running together. For Boston you need to qualify to put your toes on the line. We have all qualified and are now running from Hopkinton to Boston together.
I've just turned left on Boylston Street and can see the finish line-July 25th.
I just got the call from Bob. Very excited to trade in my state ALJ badge for a federal one.

oliver2016. Bittersweet, but Dad knew. In 1984, I got offered a job that I really wanted, and my father, who had been advising me, died an hour later before I could tell him the good news. I know what you are going through. Make your dad proud, your honor!
