May I? May I not?

Well, here we are. It's May. I submitted my PNQs more than a month ago. I submitted my OMS application more than a month ago.

And as of yet, I still do not know the outcome. There's a beauty in that. No news means no one has said NO yet. That was a highly awkward sentence. Too many Nos. Anyway, I'm still waiting.

I got a jumpstart to my anxiety when it was reported that some OMS OA invites went out last week. No one has reported any rejections yet, but of course this all means that if invitations are happening, rejections are sure to follow. They can't invite all 1000+ of us who applied to an OA, after all. We don't all get the shiny star. Unfortunately, there is no consolation prize. All or nothing.

Well, that's all pretty bleak sounding. I don't mean it to be! My life is marching on. I'm enjoying my job in a way I never have previously. My boyfriend and I are solid--we're taking a vacation to the mountains at the end of this month, and in July we're headed to Colorado for his family reunion. So... some travel in the cards, the weather is good...

But COME ON! I need to know. Seriously.
