Meeting the Princess

Today it was a boring and uneventful day at work. Except than for one thing. When it was almost 5, i.e. almost time to leave, we (me and the other girl who is working on the same project as me) got called from our boss. The Princess wanted to meet, us, since we just joined the company. The Princess is the great-grand daughter of the company founder, and the company's current owner. As far as I understand, she got married with a prince, hence her title. When I met her, the first thing that hit me was her aura of calmness and... I don't know... superiority?

It seems like there is no peace for those poor people. Last night there were two more strong quakes, one of wich caused some shaking here in Rome too. One this morning too. Now we now, when we shake in Rome, it must be really bad over there. The worst part, is that the rescuing people have to stop working for a while because it's not safe, after the stronger quakes. I really hope this will end soon!

Again!

There was anothe bit of shaking, about one hour ago here in Rome. Which means that I Abruzzo it was much stronger... Is it ever going to end?
