I am loving watching the men’s swimming events. Ok yes there are some nice hard bodies to admire. But there is some wonderful emotion. I watched the relay race the other night where the US men beat the French team who were expected to win. Yeah I’m never too fond of the French attitude (same as they don’t like the US attitude which means it evens out) but I don’t like trash talking when it comes to the Olympics.
I don’t like the idea that the Chinese are apparently tricking around the rules to have wins on their home turf. The IOC is wrong to have not addressed the issue of the Chinese girls’ ages before the competition started. The Chinese girls out performed the US girls (in an absolute way) but it doesn’t seem like it was a level playing field. After reading about what gymnastics can do to underdeveloped bones and joints, I think the rule is probably for the best but no matter what it has to be a level field. Of course the stories of how the girls are pulled from their families at such a young age, how they are forced to participate, and the story goes on. Committment to a sport should come from personal desire and should be a choice.
My heart continues to break for the missing Caylee. I keep looking every day for updates.
I’m interested in hearing how the Bigfoot DNA tests come out. I’m doubtful that a Bigfoot has been found but at least they are doing tests to see what it is really.
I hate training new employees. I hate hiring new employees. So many can fake their way through an interview and it isn’t until you see a person in action that you learn anything. I hired a new woman last week and she had 4 days to train with the outgoing person (who I will miss greatly, she was fantastic to work with). Today the new woman kept getting lost in her notes. She would skip ahead and then fall back to try to repeat something already done. She can’t focus on the task. I’m hopeful this is nerves and that after she has been through the routines, she will grow comfortable and settle in. However, I might be dead before I see that.
Oh back to the Olympics, I really like the design of the Water Cube. It is a cool looking building.
First of high school football starts Saturday. We have to drive an hour and a half to a scrimmage game. Poor WT, he is a little unsure of himself going to defense. I’m excited about it. I love defensive players. It is always so exciting to see a great sack.
