What it feels like when I leave a posting.
When HR sends out a cable that says they have a lot fewer jobs at a grade than bidders, even though they've seen the surge coming for five years
When a work crush returns from a posting... with a wedding ring.
When I see an Ambassador using their official twitter account to complain about personal indignities (long check-in queue...poor service in a restaurant...).
When my work-husband/wife has to leave post to return to capital.
When you finally get in to the Foreign Service and see what it's really like
Whenever someone drafts me as an impromptu interpreter.
When I reach super-platinum-skygod status on Star Alliance, Skyteam and One World, at the same time.
When it all kicks off in my area, and suddenly everyone's an expert in how to do my job.
When a colleague gets a new pet they can't take home with them.
When it all kicks off in my area of responsibility.
Before a language exam.
When everyone else is on summer holiday and I am left holding the fort.
When you get an especially juicy piece of info in a meeting with a contact and hurry back to put it in a cable
When I am inexplicably seated next to a Minister at an event and try to make polite conversation.
"Oh you're a diplomat? ... What's the capital of Uzbekistan, eh?"
