Nothing But the Truth: Pondering the QEP
http://onlythetruthandnothingbut.blogspot.com/2011/03/pondering-qep.html
Nothing But the Truth. Saturday, March 12, 2011. The sun is shining today, and after a few errands, I'm going hiking with mi novio. It's going to be a good day. My highly awesome friend (of Tabbies in Tow fame) is headed to DC today to begin her career as an FSS-OMS. She's a BAMF in case anyone was wondering. I hope to catch up to her at post someday. However, that is pending QEP. What phase will the moon be in when my file is reviewed? Will my file reach the bottom of the staircase first? I've failed th...

Nothing But the Truth: Here we go, here we go, here we go again
http://onlythetruthandnothingbut.blogspot.com/2011/01/here-we-go-here-we-go-here-we-go-again.html
Nothing But the Truth. Friday, January 7, 2011. Here we go, here we go, here we go again. I said, Here We Go Again! Today I received my invitation to schedule a seat for the FSOT. All the PD invites are starting to go out today, and fortunately, I was among the crowd. I am still freaked out to be pursuing such a competitive cone, but I think it's a good fit. If it's meant to be, it'll happen. And it might not happen for a while. but that's okay. I'll keep trying. Game time. I love having crazy study ...

Nothing But the Truth: February 2011

Nothing But the Truth. Tuesday, February 8, 2011. FSOT of the Damned. Well I took the FSOT yesterday. As you know by now, it was my second round, the first being in October 2009. Back then, I picked Consular. This time, I picked Public Diplomacy. I cannot reveal content due to the NDA, but hooooooey, there were some headbangers on that Job Knowledge section! This time, I walked out thinking, "Well, that was unpleasant.". We'll see how it goes. Results will be reported in 3-5 weeks. FSOT of the Damned.

Nothing But the Truth. Friday, March 25, 2011. Personal Narratives = Submitted. OMS Application = Submitted. What do I do now? There is so much waiting in this process. So. Much. Waiting. Sometimes I don't mind. I play it cool and tell folks that it doesn't matter either way what happens. If only that were true! It totally matters. I want this year to be my year. Before I can experience any of that, however- I wait. Saturday, March 12, 2011. Will my file reach the bottom of the staircase first? In case o...

Nothing But the Truth: January 2010
http://onlythetruthandnothingbut.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
Nothing But the Truth. Wednesday, January 27, 2010. Well, I heard back from the lovely BEX contingent with my QEP Results. Do not pass go, do not collect $500. In the meantime, I'm going to begin studying French, and I'm going to try to be more active in the community. It's time to get my life a little more in order. Things are better in January 2010 than they were in January 2009. I am not without hope that things will get better. They're already pretty good. There is always hope. There is always a ...

Nothing But the Truth: August 2009
http://onlythetruthandnothingbut.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
Nothing But the Truth. Saturday, August 29, 2009. I used to blog. so I'm giving it another whirl. I've started a new chapter in my life, and out of some over-inflated sense of self-importance, I've decided to document it. Likely, I'll be an itinerant blogger, but I will try to be better than that. Here is where I stand in life:. I earned an MA in May. I live in a small town. I work for a tech firm. I am currently on my first pass at becoming a Foreign Service Officer. I have a cat. January 7, 2011 - Sche...

http://onlythetruthandnothingbut.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Nothing But the Truth. Saturday, February 20, 2010. Well, I'm still vying for the FS after all. Right after I got my sad news from BEX about my FSO candidacy being shut down, I threw in an application to the Foreign Service Specialist - Office Management Specialist field. And happily, I actually have more academic credentials than needed for the position, and some experience that I think translates into Office work. OMS used to be referred to as FS-Secretary. I'm glad the title has changed! In other news...
