will you guys shut up about hearsay already!

[horschute]

I agree, you guys are ruining a very informational thread which is read millions of times each hour, and in which more than half of the posts are made by me to disparage the PTO for revoking my registration number.

While whokebe is certainly not the same person as I, most of us can agree that he is an asset to this message repository, whom all should praise for being so intelligent and handsome.  Anyone who disagrees with either of us most work at the PTO, and should get back to issuing Restrictions!!

[whokebe]

When is you give me answer?

Wow, you dance so well for me, fakeplastictree.  Didn't I just predict that you would call up another of your legion of alt monikers?  And you even created a new account with which to imitate me.  I must say, I'm flattered.

Please stop and take your flame war somewhere else. Why don't you start another thread so you can still act like children. This is suppose to be about working for the USPTO.

[fakeplastictree]

Yes, there are multiple potential reasons beyond "the fact that whokebe is an elaborate alter" (sic).  I'll let you turn that over in your head a few times before giving you answer, Trig.  Or maybe one of your more astute monikers can give you a hand?

Your neurotic editing of posts gives you away further, horsechute.  But please, feel free to make up a lie regarding this unanswered question.

Even better, they could sleep on it and decide to be gentlemen, and then use that fun little option provided to "REMOVE" their flame war.

Ok, lets change the topic. There was an ambulance outside Madison today. Rumor has it someone had a stroke...but thats just hearsay. OKOK im done. I had to let it out. 1, 2, 3 end it.

[somedude]

There's usually an ambulance outside the USPTO every week.

Has anybody who applied for the patent examiner w/ experience job posting heard back from the PTO yet?

[CranbeeryTea]

As an FYI, I've been told that the PTO will be hiring non-experienced folks in April, but only for a month or so.

[fakeplastictree]

Any explanation for why you would forget posting less than 3 months ago that you wouldn't likely be licensed by the PTO on character grounds, and that you were transitioning back to engineering from law, other than the fact that whokebe is an elaborate alter?

Still waiting.

It really is astoundingly pathetic that you would go to all that trouble to set up a convincing alter ego.

We went out to lunch (happy hour) for an examiner leaving. He said he he didn't feel right rejecting applicants. So I'm sure they might look for 1 resume out of 3000. or 4000 whatever that ridiculous number was..

How (where) did he find another job?

Is this one of the guys from the new July 09 class? I heard talk that one of 'em wasn't happy with the job.

Are you from the yesterday class? I hear talk non-stop all day about people who aren't happy with the job. 50% of the examing corps would jump on another job if the offer was in hand and comparable (+/-20K-30K) in salary.
