dshawn I miss your shark photo! It always made me smile. While I don't care for the blank avatars, I think the blank is better than what dshawn had before. It was just creepy. It always made me cringe. Pixie No lawyer joke or allusion was intended. Just love Great Whites. Only have access to phone at the moment so have been unable to update picture. I am thinking the shark from Dory might be more tolerable or maybe the SNL “Land Shark.” Have a great weekend all. |

Teleworking is not why we have a backlog. Hate when this kind of less than completely accurate info gains traction 😡 |

I have a silly Q (surprise): is this alleged hiring with or without use of the register?
At this point, I may have a better shot of making it onto the Space Force Team.

SSA has no intention of using the register. Pixie

Will Space Force have ALJs? Now that would be the ultimate in cool. But how do you affix an RBG collar to a spacesuit?

Teleworking is not why we have a backlog. Hate when this kind of less than completely accurate info gains traction 😡 To be fair, they should have anonymously interviewed a teleworker. They should have also discussed the rules of teleworking, including situations where teleworkers have to work during office closures. But, I guess that would be boring. |

Will Space Force have ALJs? Now that would be the ultimate in cool. But how do you affix an RBG collar to a spacesuit? Yes! That's what I would do! I think we could 3-D print out a nice space-age polymer "collar" to add to the spacesuit. But, if we are space ALJs, would the suits be black? Perhaps a lovely electric blue or iPhone rosegold? All sorts of options here! Ooo, and if we are really good at 3-D printer design, instead of just a basic lace pattern to the collar, we could design a lace made up of mini RBG portraits! Or the words from the Bill of Rights...this is awesome! |

With our own unserialized plastic sidearms! Y'know, this has all sorts of potential. Makes me think those who started this whole idea may live to regret some of its offspring. Better learn space law and the finer points of 3-D printing! |

On the all-managers’ call this week, news came out that SSA is looking to hire almost 100 ALJs in early FY ‘19 (which starts on 10/1/18). Cue everyone holding our breath to see if the process can move forward before being stalled by litigation. Hilarious. I'm looking forward to my trans-Atlantic voyage on the HMS Titanic with return passage on the Hindenburg. Who's more delusional, me or the SSA for thinking they will hire another ALJ during the current decade in the face of all the litigation that will ensue? |

My first reaction was to protest that I’m not delusional, but then I realized you’re probably talking about SSA, the agency, and not ssa , the board member. |

I edited my earlier post to read "the SSA" to prevent confusion. |

Polish your resumes, make sure your list of accomplishments* is up-to-date, have the dates of your bar admissions handy, and log in to your USAJobs account to ensure your password hasn’t expired. I have no idea how or when the posting will appear, or what the process will entail. But for heaven’s sake, be ready to throw your hat in the ring when the bell sounds! *I was an NODAR. But it seems when people are applying for promotions they always have to have some sort of list of accomplishments, assignments they’ve taken or special projects they’ve completed. It may or may not be some kind of point system — but whatever it is, it seems to matter to the agency so make sure that’s up-to-date if you’re an insider. Also, have your Board handles/user IDs and passwords ready, along with the IP addresses of any devices you ever have used to access this forum. I have heard that the new vacancy announcement will require this "voluntary" disclosure.  |

Definitely without the register. But I have heard that 25 preference points will be awarded to each applicant able to establish - by submitting clear and convincing evidence - that ALL of their ancestors can trace their lineage to individuals with commissions from King George III present in one of the former British colonies (in what is now the U.S.A.) prior to 1776. So you might not have to deploy with the Space Force Team after all . . . |

How you could love something like this is beyond me:  And this is the most disturbing shark video I have ever had the displeasure of seeing. Click on "Watch on Vimeo." |
