on the signal box - yeah, it should be pushed (we have the same ones in Bosnia), but I really did not see any effect on the traffic light so far, whether I pushed it or not :)

BTW, do you remember me, Heather? I used to work in American Councils in Kiev :)

Yes, I definitely do remember you! You were there the same time as Tanya Dovbnya, right? She did most of the OPS but I remember you did it sometimes, too.

Hmmm... I think she was before me. I was there with Natalya Borodchuk (and Anya and Vova, of course :) I was doing OPS at some point, that is correct.
So, I live in Bosnia now and it was really funny to read that you moved to our part of the world too :)

I was in Kyiv once for a conference and I met Vova and Tanya Dovbnya on that trip. I met an Anna, too, but there were actually two or three Anyas over a period of three or four years, and a few of them did not use their last names when they wrote emails from the ops account, so we didn't actually realize there was more than one for a long time. It got very confusing. :)

Anya and Vova I am talking about have been there forever ) Anya is still there I think and Vova left the same year I did and nobody really knows where he is now.

Okay, I did meet her then. I just could never keep them straight. One day we emailed and asked Helen to clarify who answers which emails and why, and that's when we found out there was more than one Anna. There was only one who did OPS regularly, but the alumni coordinator was Anna, and she stepped in if the OPS Anna was gone, and there was also an Anna who was like an accounting person or a program assistant or something who got dragged into OPS once because she was answering the phone. And I think for a while there were two Tanyas as well...

BTW, where do you push? The arrow on top doesn't seem to be a button - it doesn't go down when I push it.
