I started by sending an e-mail to my HR coordinator (not sure who they are for the FSS folks) to let her know about the clearance. She told me it should take about 3 days for the FSR once they received my packet from security. I don't want to call as often as I did with security, b/c I don't want to drive her nuts, but I thought I'd check in two weeks (and continuing every two weeks from there) if I haven't heard anything. Hopefully your clearance will come through quickly after this last interview round. Fingers crossed!sclawgrlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04744410057032211072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2558577688221763857.post-70164389556192404662010-08-15T18:39:48.204-07:002010-08-15T18:39:48.204-07:00but it's good that something's happening.....but it's good that something's happening...hopefully this will wrap it up.Bfileshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17657766918735380467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2558577688221763857.post-35936767621241510832010-08-15T17:45:28.647-07:002010-08-15T17:45:28.647-07:00Just wanted to let you know that I am very sorry t...Just wanted to let you know that I am very sorry to read about the loss of your dog...especially on what should have been a happier day.

I just can't even imagine.<br /><br />I'm not the right one to advise you about getting a new doggie. I took the coward's way out. As our pets have passed away, they have not been replaced. The last to go was our amazing, wonderful large-breed dog (who we very, very much miss!) this past spring. We desperately miss her- that is very much the case - but it is much easier to do what needs to be done without her. <br /><br />HOWEVER, you have another large breed dog already, so your bidding/relocation will already have him in mind. I don't know if two would be much more different for you than one. <br /><br />But I wanted you to know how sorry I was for your loss. What a horrible, painful, awful story. My heart aches for your family.A Daring Adventurehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10526170899156150772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2558577688221763857.post-42160328998733227642010-08-13T20:06:03.248-07:002010-08-13T20:06:03.248-07:00What beautiful pictures!
