Challenge Coins

I did some favors for a couple of Embassy agencies - mainly communications stuff. They thanked me with my very own challenge coins! But they're still going on Andreas' challenge coin board. These are two that he doesn't have.

 

A Different Setup

Andreas' peeps set up a place for him to work last visit to Krakow. The office is -tiny-. And they welcomed him with snacks, too.

 

Award

Andreas and the Department thought it was important that I've managed to work ten years' worth after all the part time too. So they gave me an award and a pin. Andreas said he didn't get a pin for his, so I gave him mine. No idea where Andreas will hide this. He hides my awards because otherwise I will just bin them.

 

IOM Goodies

I went to an IOM conference on digital identity for work, and they handed out goodies. I was surprised. One item was a battery for electronics charging. There were these little things. And some of the best caramel I've ever tasted.

 

My Team

In November we had FSN (Foreign Service National) Appreciation Day. Ian, our boss, took the section out to lunch. The FSN's gave us Americans notes of appreciation, too. Here's mine. Thank you Bashkim, Niti, Teuta, and Arber!

 

Valued

Evidently I'm a valued employee of a section I don't technically work for.  I edit and such for the public diplomacy section fairly often, even though I'm employed by consular.  They gave me an award!  Thanks!
