OUR SENIOR DIPLOMATS ARE GEEKING OUT AROUND THE WORLD RIGHT NOW AT THE SAME TIME FOR SOME REASON

Must be the gravitational pull of all the nerds at this week's Comic-Con

(meanwhile, over at State...)

Heh.

SOME COUNTRIES MIGHT UNFRIEND US, YOU GUYS

Officially, of course, we all "welcome" the issuance of the award. But how might some diplos express any additional feels...through facebook?

Why, if you're a junior officer, you can come up with an atin-atin lang explainer

A senior-ish officer could go ironic with one of those passive-aggressive "I know no one reads my status updates" status update.

A more senior officer may simply change his profile pic...

...or just show off her swag

But if you're a really senior officer, you know that less is more

SIX THINGS YOU MISSED AT THE LAST DFA DAY

(because, you know, you were absent)

1) The presentation of Loyalty Certificates and Loyalty Pins (in sweet cosmic cube cases)

2) The batchmate facebook post of the Batch groufie with the Boss

3) The batchmate video-bomb of the Bigger Boss' speech

4) A friend's face in the papers...

5) ...and the unfortunate lay-out

6) And, uh, this

I'm told my office's entry was a video of Capt. DFA doing the Running Man.

It lost.
