I've heard that the Small Business Administration is looking for ALJs for a one-year virtual detail. Is this opportunity only being offered to OMHA judges, or can SSA judges apply too? And if so, how?

And if so, how? OMHA judges submitted that they were interested via their ACALJ. Strictly internal for us, nothing like a USAJOBs site or anything along those lines. |

Did you get any info re when selections would be made or start date? |

Did you get any info re when selections would be made or start date? Negative Ghostrider. It was only to go on a “I’m interested” list. I didn’t put in so I’m not aware of where things go for those that “applied.” |

Anyone else think it's odd that SSA ALJs weren't solicited for this detail?

Anyone else think it's odd that SSA ALJs weren't solicited for this detail? Yes, it's another weird tea leave (leaf?). Like the vanishing of triennial judicial training and the proposed removal of the "judicial function" article from the contract. Like we don't exist anymore. I may start adorning the sleeve of my black robe (the one I haven't been able to wear in six months) with a white elephant. |

Although SBA was looking for 20-30 OMHA AlJs to detail, OMHA only approved 3 due to backlog concerns. |

I may start adorning the sleeve of my black robe (the one I haven't been able to wear in six months) with a white elephant. Tea leaves is plural; tea leaf is singular. We use leaves as the plural of leaf because there is a rule in English grammar that several nouns ending in "f" or "fe" form their plural by changing "f" or "fe" into "v" and adding "es." Examples: Leaf, leaves / thief, thieves / wife, wives / wolf, wolves / shelf, shelves /knife, knives / calf, calve / life, lives / loaf, loaves. No one ever said proper use of the English language is easy. Pixie |

"No one ever said proper use of the English language is easy. Pixie"
Or consistent. "Belief/beliefs," "motif/motifs," "chief/chiefs," to name a few. My Harbrace College Handbook 7th edition says "if the noun ends in 'fe,' change the 'fe' to 've' and add s." That practice (can't really call it a rule, because the exceptions will swallow it) does not fit a lot of the correct examples that Pixie gives in the note above.
Mattel was roundly criticized a generation ago for creating a talking doll that said "Math is Hard" when one pulled the string. The doll could as easily have said "English is Hard."
Respectfully, Tom B

Ahhh, Pixie, do Judgment next! What happened to the e? It feels like judgment is the only one who loses the e.

I mean, leaf it at that.

Ahhh, Pixie, do Judgment next! What happened to the e? It feels like judgment is the only one who loses the e. What about acknowledgment? Please. We have yet to master the lowly apostrophe. How can we possibly move on to something more complex? I mean, the apostrophe? No way we can get into commas, semicolons, or heaven forbid, grammar. We will be 20 years before we can get into grammar. Pixie |
