Suspense and torture.

Suspense because Friday is Flag Day. This is when we have a ceremony at the George Schultz Foreign Affairs training Center and everyone finds out where they are going for their first assignments. It is called Flag Day because each new FSO is presented with a small flag of the country where they will be going.

Torture because apparently folks in the know at Main State (the Harry S. Truman building) seem to already know that we mostly got our high bids and are dropping hints to that effect. Now I am looking back at all my high bids trying to figure out where I might be sent. We are not supposed to publicize the bid list, and since stating my high bids would be revealing a portion of the list, I'll just stay mum.

Until Friday.
