[quote=Anonymous]Diplomat (aka Foreign Service Officer): stereotype is that we are all really just spies, that we have a lot of dinner parties, cocktail hours drinking champagne with our pinkies lifted and live in beautiful places. The reality is a shitton of overtime, very challenging work which rarely is recognized while living in very crowded, dirty, polluted urban areas, often unaccompanied dangerous posts where you are rarely invited to a dinner party or formal, official cocktail hour unless the Ambassador "invites" you and then it's a command performance where your job is to work your day job and then attend the function (often in dress shoes and suits) which is actually like work because you are either pulling guests away from your principal officers and helping people mingle. Every day we live with the threat of disease or attacks in most assignments around the world. [/quote]
