    Imran and anyone else who cares: I'm initially being sent to DC for training; I'll be posted to an embassy abroad after 6-9 months, but I won't know where for a few weeks yet.


    Ah, so you can hang out with the DC crowd for a few months .

      One never leaves from here permanently.

          Awww, thanks guys! I'm sure I will be back; I just have a whirlwind of moving, training, and seeing old friends ahead of me for the next few months, so I suspect it'll be a while.

          A bunch of us are in DC (or thereabouts)

          Give us a shout.

            Ditto that. Good luck Groucho and if you ever come to the Netherlands be sure to let us know.

                Good luck with the move and all that, and best wishes in your new job.

                    Good luck, Rufus. I agree with the others here that State is getting one obviously very competent person.

                    BTW, what degrees do you have? You seem to know a lot about history.

                      Damn. I, for one, will miss your postings.


                      I second that.

                      Well, good luck Rufus and see you soon.

                        I third that.

                        Good luck, Rufus... I hope you enjoy your new job.

                        As for the "leaving" part, I'm sorry to tell you that you'll not be able to leave Apolyton. Never. Believe me, I tried this. It was all in vain. Diss, I think I'll be the last poster here, I'm sorry.
                        I watched you fall. I think I pushed.

                          No, damn you! I've already wasted 5 years of my life here, I'm seeing it through until the end

                            What do you people mean you can never leave? What about the X-Mod who left for TRL? (can't remember his name) I have not seen him since.
