I LOVE the Olympics. Perhaps its watching people accomplish tasks I don't even dream of accomplishing. I mean, I can't even skate around an ice rink once without something (or someone) to hold on to; so, the idea of things like triple or quadruple toe loops is unfathomable to me. Don't even ask about my abilities on skis...I've been once and it wasn't pretty! And, the Summer Olympics aren't any better...just ask my mom how successful swim lessons were when I was growing up...I'm not going to drown in the water, but I'm also not going to successfully swim laps using any stroke!Perhaps its watching the world come together in the spirit of good old-fashioned competition.
I don't know...I just love watching them.
The trouble is that work is suddenly busier than it's been in a LONG time! It's probably the busiest I've been in 3 1/2 years. Or, perhaps I just don't remember how busy I was a year and a half ago because I've spent the last year cutting my hours in an attempt to heed the advice of my annual reviewers by delegating more work and just plain taking time to do other things with my life. So, I'm not just WAY TOO busy, I'm also way out of practice working these kinds of hours. And, I've got about a million other commitments that have taken the place of work. So, I'm not really sure where I'm supposed to squeeze in 6-plus hours of sporting events per days.
Oh, and of course, Amazing Race and Survivor have started in the middle of all of this too.
Ahhhhhhh....the complicated things in life. ;)
