By my count, since I was recalled in 2015, no less than seven batchmates have left the Home Office for their second foreign postings. Yet I have been unable to blog kind parting words for any of them. Well, that ends with JOIN EVASION ‘COS NASA AJAR, simply because his departure has been the batch's most epic so far. Consider:
- He volunteered for assignment to a hardship post
- He didn't just have a despedida, he had a freakin' boodle fight
and had a suspiciously adequate supply of latex gloves
- On the day of his departure, he decides it's the right time to ask every home-based batchmate about dating apps and undergarment shopping
"the universal rule" he's told "is 'classy over trashy' "
- Mere minutes before his trip to the airport for his outbound flight, I find him sat down in my room calling up a real estate agent and buying a condo
he got the floor price
Right after he flew out, I wanted to message him "good luck" or "take care" or something like that, but I found that he had already updated his profile pic and cover photo immediately upon arrival at post :
yeah, I think he'll be alright
