Aw, Crap

Somebody beat me to the one Justice of The Peace opening in Somerville. In fact, 3 people got applications in before me, so I'm not even first in line. I'm just going to have to wait my turn, which could be a long wait. If I'd been on the ball and gotten the 5 signatures back in November when I got the application, I would probably have gotten it. I put it off because of the holidays, and also because who but me would be interested in doing this? Well, now we know.

There will be a JoTP appointment expiring in April, and another in July. If they aren't renewed, they will go to the people ahead of me, then eventually me but it could be a number of years. The very nice guy in the Governor's Office said my current application will still be good then, and I won't have to re-collect signatures. But patience is not one of my greatest strengths.

*grump*

Sorry to hear you missed out on this opening.
However, keep in there and perhaps someone
else will decide they have other things to do.
Ms. Justice Mare ... nice sound to it.

I'm so disappointed! But its not a lost cause, maybe sometime in the next couple of years I'll get appointed. Hope so, because this is what I want to do as my retirement career.
