Anything can happen in a war, people pull out the most extraordinary resources - ingenuity, courage, self-sacrifices… ‘Guns of Navarone’

Respect 🫡

Even legends need couples
therapy with reality now and then.
Call it relaxation, recalibration,
or collapse.
I don’t mind. Neither does the sofa.

Cold, exhausted, still mildly committed to the autumn evening drama. Quite unnecessary, honestly.

Sunday morning is sponsored by the letter N. As in: No. Not now. Not today. I simply prefer not to.

Fall came back. Long time no see.
It’s cooler, darker, and everyone who knew what we are up to this semester
has apparently left the internal group chat.

Every cloud has a silver lining.
Every pre-coffee panic attack
is technically manageable.
Just plug in the machine, empty the grounds, add water, rinse the tubes, add more water, and adjust your expectations.

Pre-posting psychological session:
Focus. Do the next thing. Not the next ten things.

Two weeks at the mission:
It’s the good advice that you just didn’t take. Who would’ve thought? It figures.

Cross the bridge.
Embrace the unknown.
Worst case, character development.
Not your first rodeo, bro.

Stay calm. Stay focused.
Not every signal requires a response.
Some deserve your attention.
Some deserve a conveniently dead battery.

Happy #InternationalCatDay

[Cat Attachè @cat_attache]

The sofa is warm. Civilization can wait.
No need to run and hide.
It’s a wonderful, wonderful life.
(nine of them, apparently.)

Happy International Cat Day!

Ambassador’s secretary: “Double espresso?”
Me: “Maybeeee… you’re gonna be
the one that saves me.”

Eye contact is overrated.
The darker the lenses, the fewer explanations.

You don’t have to win every battle.
That’s the way the cookie crumbles.

Left eye by the gulf, nose at the cape,
forehead in the desert.
Some maps never really leave us.
Neither do the places we thought
we escaped.

True power never asks for attention.
This is why my current career choice
is to merge with the background.

Every meeting on sustainability eventually reaches the question of the evening programme.
By that point, the debate has become surprisingly technical.

Pre-posting training: Any problem can be solved by a working group.
First week at post: procure a mirror and declare quorum.

Relocation is an art.
Packing neatly makes you a master.
Sleeping in economy class makes you a legend. Doing both without two bourbons makes you a myth.

You’re in the right place,’ people said.
I had my doubts, but honestly, Plan B existed only pro forma.
