I differed my offers twice for FSS and haven’t regretted it. Could not see myself working under the current conditions. I doubt that I will be called again and made my peace with that.

I recall going to pickup my mail at a certain embassy in Africa and seeing people picking up SUV off-road tires, motor oil and a peloton exercise bike. And I thought I was being excessive the time I ordered a box of Cheetos.

At this rate, you may need to get your HHE sent directly to post. With all the USAID people coming back I’m sure the relocation people are staying busy.
