I am new to the world of blogging (I know that comes as a surprise to many of you..) but I decided this would be a great way to keep in touch as the adventure begins (truth be known I just want something to come up when I am googled!).
For those of you that don't know, after 2 long years of waiting and worrying the chance of a lifetime is here. I will be leaving Stillwater on January 17th to head to Washington D.C. and begin Foreign Service Specialists orientation at the George P. Schultz National Foreign Affairs Training Center. Upon arrival in D.C. I will be staying in a furnished studio apartment provided by the State Department. During the first week of orientation I will recieve a list of upcoming vacancies from which I can request my choices. I will have an opportunity to research my "bid list", hopefully that research will provide information on who has ESPN reception and if there is a local branch of Tiffany's (could I be THAT lucky). Keep in mind that one of my conditions of employment is worldwide availablity so I am prepared for anything and everything. I have to say the more exotic the better! But then again what could be more exotic than Stillwater? After orientation I will have HR training at least until April 28th (which means I will Stateside for March Madness which is of great importance). Depending on where I will be going I may stay in D.C. to learn a language. That is everything I know for now, when I get to DC and I have more information I will continue to update.
