[DoNotRefill]

Be happy for me!!! :) :) :) :) :)

I'll take the oath in a couple of weeks, as soon as the rest of the background check/clearance is complete!

w00t!!!!! :) :) :) :) :)
w00t!!!!! :) :) :) :) :)
w00t!!!!! :) :) :) :) :)

1. "oath"?

details?

[DoNotRefill]

7. To uphold a couple of Constitution thingies...

both State and Federal.

w00t!!!!! :) :) :) :) :)

[ewagner]

2. Military?

or law enforcement?

[DoNotRefill]

5. Neither...

Judiciary branch, not Executive....but that's as much as I can say.

w00t!!!!! :) :) :) :) :)

[jswordy]

3. Oath? Background check?

I guess you won't be working in a BEER FACTORY then.

Nooo....wait...that's MY dream job!!! Sorry.

[MsAnthropy]

4. You seem awful confident about that background check

I'd worry if I were you! :evilgrin:

[DoNotRefill]

6. Nah, no worries...

I've been through stricter background checks by many more three letter agencies already, and passed them all.

w00t!!!!! :) :) :) :) :)

[StClone]

9. I can pass those too!

It's the experience, education and credentials I lack. Good luck in your new position...Lucky.

[DoNotRefill]

11. Heh...lucky???

Dude, I busted my ass to get where I am. I'll be paying back law school tuition until my grandkids can marry. I worked for years doing "scut-work". It took me YEARS to actually get the job, going for it EVERY time there was a vacancy, in a wide variety of jurisdictions covering a HUGE geographic area. There was some luck involved, but I'm where I am because I busted my ass for DECADES.

w00t!!! :) :) :)

[jswordy]

13. Good for you.

It ain't me, though. Too one-dimensional. Enjoy the fruits of your success!

[Worst Username Ever]

8. US Marshal?

[DoNotRefill]

10. It's not a "law enforcement" position...

in the sense of going out and arresting people.

It's a part of the Judiciary. It involves no advocacy. And I don't have to carry a gun on-duty. I DO have to be impartial.

That's about as far as I can take the description, considering how much the Freepers would absolutely foam at the mouth for me to be in this position.

Still, w00t!!!!!! :) :) :) :) :)

[Worst Username Ever]

12. Well that is absolutely great. Congratulations and good luck!

[DoNotRefill]

14. Thanks!!!

w00t!!!!

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

15. Congrats

and if it's what I think it is...make sure you take your heart meds and see your doc regularly to keep the stress in check :) (even the stress we LIKE isn't good for our hearts)

[DoNotRefill]

16. I will, and thanks!!!

:) :) :)

[traco]

17. Congrats

Would you mind if I borrow a little luck?

I've worked my ass off to get a job in a field I can manage with my limited abilities, taking into consideration my disabilities...I have been looking for work since 2002!

[DoNotRefill]

18. I'll try to send you all my spare luck....

but I don't know if it'll work. :)

[traco]

19. It's worth a try!

At least then we can't say we didn't try!

[bmovies]

20. Let me guess...

So far the clues you have given us:

"take the oath"

"background check/clearance"

"To uphold a couple of Constitution thingies...both State and Federal."


"Judiciary branch"

"law school tuition"

"YEARS to actually get the job, going for it EVERY time there was a vacancy, in a wide variety of jurisdictions covering a HUGE geographic area"

"It involves no advocacy. And I don't have to carry a gun on-duty. I DO have to be impartial"

I think I got it: George Bush is appointing you to the Supreme Court!

Nah....it couldnt be that. You said that you have to be impartial.
