The opening ceremonies of the Olympics was pulled of admirably well insofar as our TV coverage could reveal.  I think that the Brazilian people deserve a giant shout out. If the cops were on strike or were not doing their job then it was not evident at the ceremony.

I can only hope that the next two weeks will see the good organization and happy athletes like I saw tonight.

The government probably paid the crime lords to stay out of the ceremony.  ;D

I don't know about Rio, as far as I know the cops were on strike locally here as they do every now and then.

I haven't watched the ceremonies yet, too busy watching Suicide Squad at the movies.  8)

Was that movie any good? I heard it was terrible.

It as ok, not a movie I would watch a second time but not terrible either. It didn't turn out as I expected but then again I don't read the comics - which is probably why I didn't think it was a terrible movie.

Depends on what sort of prior expectations you have I guess. :shrug:

We've been having to do a lot of overtime at work - not because we have so much work at the moment, but because there MIGHT be a large amount of work out there somewhere. I work in a pharmacy. We can't work ahead. It is rather like trying to pick fruit from trees that haven't been planted. If that huge bubble of work actually exists, but the time it gets to us, everyone is going to be too tired, burned-out, and sick to care or show up.

No I didn't see it. There is really no need to say anything. I'm just grumbling.  :)

Maybe, but I feel "sorry" that you are in that state - though I suppose we all get fed up with work at times.

Hoping it gets better,

Classes and work during the week, work on Saturday. I usually don't mind but I worked during the midyear holidays so I'm a little tired.

My boss asked me whether I could clone myself ;). I'm working on 3 mayor projects at the time and 4 project leaders are waiting in line for my services. At the same time I'm doing the 2nd level support of 15 software applications.

Makes me tired just reading about xSP and Tom62. Feel just a bit envious though.

I think the reason they can still make time for us is the advice to ask a busy person if you want something done Magdalena.

Thanks! You've got a good point.The chances of me getting fired are extremely low. Any way, I still manage to keep a good work-life-balance.
