It's been hectic the last couple of weeks at work and that's why I've been quiet at the blogosphere. Last week I gave an interview at work and I managed to get a better position in my company. I'll replace a guy that is soon leaving, so I'm joining a different team. However, apart from me another colleague has quit. That means that I have to train a replacement, help my team since we are sort of staff and also get trained in the new position. Juggling many balls at once can be tiring but the occasion is very exciting. I'm so glad I've been given the opportunity of the new placement. I've officially started yesterday but I'm practically between teams.
On a different topic, I've been highly enjoying watching the Olympic Games. I wasn't amazed by the Opening Ceremony. I liked some bits like Bond and the music evolution walk-through but not others. Anyway, that's old news now. Greece managed to get their first medal, in Judo. There might be more to come... Iliadis won Bronze in Judo. That's Iliadis... Woof:
Even if we first invented the Games all these centuries ago, we really can't compete with other counties in medal wining. So, I'm happy with what we can get. :-) Even taking part in semi finals or finals

Congrats on the new position - way to go Nik!
ReplyDeleteAnd he may be woofy (Iliadis) but you are woofier!

DeleteI agree - though gold is good!!

I'm not going to argue with you on that... Gold is good, but taking part or / and a bronze is not that bad...
Deleteps - in the stadium the opening ceremony was AWESOME - the scale was huge and the transition to dark satanic mills was amazing...
ReplyDeleteahoj
congratulations on the new position at work! you probably deserve it :)
ReplyDeleteoh and a thank you to your people for inventing the olympics!
You're welcome. It's a pleasure watching them...
DeleteI think we should get back to participating in the nude.
ReplyDeleteI agree with that! Should we start collecting signatures?
DeleteI love the Olympic Games and I'm one of the people who thinks just being able to compete on that stage is amazing. Of course the accomplishments of the decorated athletes are amazing but it doesn't take away from those who didn't win a medal. They are still Olympiads.
ReplyDeleteMy country's obsession with medals and medal counts is something I never understood.
I assume that when you compete on that level, what USA can do is count the number of gold medals. Are you first or second at the moment? The Brits are so happy being third on the list...
DeleteCongratz Nik!
ReplyDeleteThank you cubby! :-)
