Author's Summary:
Working for Torchwood Cardiff means dealing every day with aliens, time travelers, annoying co-workers, and worst of all, tourists. A day in the life of someone who'd rather be somewhere else.

Review:
I love this story.  Yes, our heroes may belong to a top secret organization responsible for saving the planet and the entire human race on a semi-regular basis, but in between, they still have to put up with kids shoving gum in the lock on their door, taggers and vandals, and tourists wandering in to the "tourist office" and actually expecting help, etc.  It's fantastic to see the mundane intrude on the otherwise standard heroic epic... and a little surreal... and very, very funny.
