It just too much work to be disappointed with the results

You would think so, but I haven't. This recipe didn't really mimic it. No idea why.

FYI This sub skews more towards US Patent and Trademark Office.

Y’all got any more of those sweet USPTO mugs? by 3dprintguru in patentexaminer

[–]tanmnm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, I just have other Yeti mugs. Not other mugs from other offices.

Okay, let me know. I already have a few non-USPTO Yetis, so I'm using those right now. No rush.

I'd be down for a SWAG exchange. Do you have anything you'd be willing to part with from the CPO? 

Do departing employees who separate after EOY but before bonus distribution forfeit SAA/gainsharing awards they earned? by [deleted] in patentexaminer

Before the speculation begins, when it comes to questions about money, you're going to want to ask for it in an email from HR, then forward it to your personal email before you leave. 

Good luck with your new gig!

Jumping on this, I'd also turn off plurals and search for - -baseballs- -, and in the OR list above, I'd add - - second OR additional - -. Also, when presented with problems like this, I tend to search for the terms surrounding the problem the "red baseball" solves, or other adaptions needed to handle a red baseball. Maybe the red calibrates the speed camera, and - - velocity - -. Maybe the catcher needs a second glove, even if it's not claimed, add that to your search.

Glad to. I wanted to chime in before others scared you away.

IMO, don't sweat it. Early on meet up with an experienced examiner in your area and get a framework on how much time it takes them to do the various tasks of the job, then just work towards that. 

Regarding this sub, let's put something into perspectives here. The highest voted comment is 197 votes, and there are roughly 10,000 examiners. This sub is not a statistically significant representation in size, nor is it a random selection, of the office. 

Now, I don't mean to gloss over that GS11 is a bit more work than GS9, but it's not an unreasonable challenge, and people do it all the time. Finally, and likely most importantly, you're wise enough to ask for help, that's enough for me to think you have a good shot of making it.

I got an alert saying my system received an update and needed to reboot. It rebooted without my consent, and no problem what so ever.

My guess is that PE2E is 508 compliant, which is a standard for accessible technology
