Wait, wait ... don't tell me!

I was listening to the Wait, wait ... don't tell me! podcast on the way home today.

It's a great podcast.

In the most recent episode, the guest was the British ambassador to America. In one fun segment, they asked him awkward questions to test his skills of diplomacy.

Perhaps it's something in the water, but it seems that a disproportionate number of folks from my childhood have ended up in the diplomatic corps. I myself never really thought about this as a career route.

The Australian experience has been wonderful times. It's been really great to explore a new place and make new friends. I am aware however, that as a diplomat, you might not get a plum assignment like Melbourne, Australia. I wonder what it's like being sent to some of those more..."rugged" locales. I think some people really love the adventure, but I suspect I might be too soft.
