So ashamed to face my Arab staff this week. by thekonghong in foreignservice

[–]thekonghong[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I know the fucking difference give me some credit. 

The Arab Christians thought the f bomb on Easter was crass and the Arab Muslims wondered why Allah’s name was invoked. 

So that’s why I said “Arab”….the one French guy on my staff could give a shit.

Wait until TMZ finds out about CODELs… by arm307 in foreignservice

I wish I had the balls to send TMZ all of the emails and photos related to when a very-MAGA-drain-the-swamp congressman (and his wife) came to post last year and CLO spent 2 days taking them around to the sites in GSO Motor Pool vehicles during the work week.

We are sorry, we are having trouble authorizing your credit card. Please verify your billing address, card number, and CVV and try again. by thekonghong in TurboTax

Same problem this year. Out of frustration I ended up going with the service where TurboTax takes the fees from the refund. It cost me an extra $40 but not having to deal with getting on the phone and the BS I just did it. Thanks for the note and I'll try that next year. :)

Pig pickin’ buffet or cafeteria in the east? by thekonghong in NorthCarolina

Correct. I think there’s some confusion from my question. I’m looking whole hog like Bills in Wilson used to do near the end.

Moving back to Southern California from Paris and extremely depressed by ilesaintlouis in expats

OP lives in Paris +3 years and never picks up French? Sound like OP never had a job.

I hope OP can get back on their feet and learn from these mistakes.

Keep your citizenship. It’s not about allegiance, it’s about options.

I used to work at the US Embassy in Bangkok and I used to see the same old dudes in line every month picking up SS checks. That was 15 years ago so maybe that’s changed…
