that is probably for routine work but there would be people there for emergency stuff -- nm - zork Jan 14, 13:36 2
- right now, there is no routine work for them. -- nm - loosilu Jan 14, 13:37 1
  - exactly -- nm - zork Jan 14, 13:39
must need an update -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jan 14, 13:36
Well, the Dept of State issued a Tunisia travel warning. Believe me, that staff is not getting time off. -- (link) - loosilu Jan 14, 13:34
That's very likely an autoresponse that they just haven't disabled yet. That's why you need to contact a someone *in person*. - musubi, benevolent dictator Jan 14, 13:34 1
- and make sure they can reach YOU by some means other than email. -- nm - loosilu Jan 14, 13:35
that will probably change. and, hey! now you have a contact name! -- nm - Andie Jan 14, 13:34 30
- there's loads of contact info on their web page, which I just linked. - loosilu Jan 14, 13:35 29
  - Take it easy on Hotkiss, please -- nm - con_carne Jan 14, 13:36 28
    - I'm serious, she hasn't called them yet. She is not taking it seriously enough. - loosilu Jan 14, 13:38 27
      - I went to the protests this morning, the ones you're seeing on tv and the news. But things are dead quiet now. -- nm - Hotkiss Jan 14, 13:40 24
        
        That's how Walking Dead started. You need to walk into the embassy and tell them you're Agent Hannah Striker and need to evac an asset in person asap -- nm - Max Jan 14, 13:41
        
        Except for the rumored rapings and pillages. - Will Hunting Jan 14, 13:41 2
        
        and gunfire, and rumors of AQ support. -- nm - loosilu Jan 14, 13:42 1
        
        Oh my! -- nm - con_carne Jan 14, 13:43
        
        don't go again, please. -- nm - loosilu Jan 14, 13:41 19
        
        on the other hand, Hotkiss is there. remember, what the news shows and what general life is like aren't always the same. - Andie Jan 14, 13:42 18
        
        If Hotkiss was in Queensland she would be looking for the rumored crocadiles swimming in the flood waters - Go Ducks on a phone Jan 14, 13:45 1
        
        she's seen more of it than most of us here. -- nm - Andie Jan 14, 13:45
        
        I understand that, but she is in a part of the world where these things can go very bad. - loosilu Jan 14, 13:43 15
        
        right. which is why she should stay put. which she is. -- nm - Andie Jan 14, 13:43 14
        
        She went down to the protesting!! -- nm - Go Ducks on a phone Jan 14, 13:48
        
        And noone has suggested she not do that. - musubi, benevolent dictator Jan 14, 13:45 9
        
        right. i fully endorse her calling the embassy. but people have her practically storming the doors. - Andie Jan 14, 13:47 8
        
        I don't think anyone since B5 has suggested she leave where she is. (nm) - musubi, benevolent dictator Jan 14, 13:49 6
        
        they have indeed. -- nm - loosilu Jan 14, 13:49 5
        
        Clearly, I missed it, got a link? (nm) - musubi, benevolent dictator Jan 14, 13:50 4
        
        top of this thread. -- nm - loosilu Jan 14, 13:52
        
        sure: -- (link) - Andie Jan 14, 13:52 [Backboard] 2
        
        Fair nuff, but Redmonds a momo. (nm) - musubi Jan 14, 13:54 1
        
        also Beaker, up there ^^^ -- nm - loosilu Jan 14, 13:56
        
        I think you and me are in agreement. - loosilu Jan 14, 13:48
        
        she is now, I hope. - loosilu Jan 14, 13:45 2
        
        I've been inside since the 6pm curfew. No way I'm going out there now. It'd be like wandering around in camo during hunting season -- nm - Hotkiss Jan 14, 13:47 1
        
        good woman. :) -- nm - loosilu Jan 14, 13:47
      - She did email them, and she did get a response back from them instructing her to stay at home until further notice. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 14, 13:40 1
        
        I actually think loosi's right here. Don't wait till the s**tstorm is happening outside your door, she needs to get in touch with the embassy now. - musubi, benevolent dictator Jan 14, 13:43
