I’ve moved to the DC area and have started a new job as a Human Resource Specialist at the Office of Personnel Management.  I am very excited about this position and glad to be back in the federal government because it is a little bit of project management, a little bit of management analysis, and a little bit of policy analysis.  Not only is it a job; it’s a major source of research ideas and articles.

And speaking of research:  I’m in the final phase of the dissertation analysis.  Another month and I will have the final draft ready for review and (hopefully) will have my oral defense in March.  Also, I will another certification as I just passed the knowledge part of ASTD’s Certified Professional in Learning and Performance.

Been a great couple of months and I am looking forward to a great 2009!
