the accidental girl

It appears they have scrapped the rebuilding of ground zero! I was so excited at the project- especially the transport hub proposed by Santiago Calatrava, which would open its roof on the anniversary of the tragedy. But unfortunately, like many things in the world, the whole project has been deemed too expensive.
Surely expense isn't an issue for defiance in the face of hatred? No?

So if you're green fingered, you're good at gardening. What are you if you fix mysterious printer panics?

The plotter went into a deep sulk today in the middle of a busy hour's printing. Nothing, but nothing would fix it. My boss left to fetch the IT man, I restarted and gave the printer a little firm shove: it worked! I am offically.. erm.. silver fingered?

anyway, today's been pretty tiring. It's now 11 pm and it's still in the mid-thirties celcius. I've had two showers today and I'm still feeling less than fragrant.. I had my greek lesson tonight and it went well. I was trying to explain how I'd managed to get a parking ticket whilst parked at the top of a deserted mountain. My one and only driving offence in 5 years of driving.

Anyway.. what is it with creepy men?! A gang of three guys walked past me when I was on the way to work, and one of them did a double take and then slowed down to walk next to me. He asked me where I was from. I answered in greek, that I was from Nicosia. He asked me where I was going, I said, to work. Then he asked me my name and I started getting annoyed so I said that it had been nice to chat but that Iwas late for work and sped up a little. I could hear him shouting 'wait, wait!' after me but I briskly walked on.
2 minutes later I get to work, in the reflection of the glass entrance door, I see him across the road, watching me. It's a bit creepy seeing as I have to walk through an alleyway, then a car park and then a side street to get to work- it's not exactly the road most travelled.
I sit in my office and through the window, I see him loitering outside the office, for a good 10 minutes! Is this normal behaviour?! I'm a bit scared to walk to work now...

I shall put my kickboxing to good use if he tries anything cheeky.
