Olympic Boycott: Day Thirteen



I just skipped the latest Social Committee event at work because it had an Olympic theme. I felt like I'd be a bit of a hypocrite if I went considering that I'm boycotting the Olympics. As I'm already behind with my work, and had to waste half an hour this morning at a "town hall meeting" in which the company CEO basically delivered a lecture on how poorly we were performing, I can live with missing this event.

Last I heard, Canada had 13 medals. I have no idea what the latest ones are for.

As GB is having the best Olympics since goodness knows when and is only being beaten by China and the USA it's pretty hard to avoid it here...

I was actually wondering how GB was faring at the Olympics, so it's nice to know that they're doing so well. Canada usually does a lot better at the Winter Olympics than the Summer Olympics, so I don't think 13 is too shabby for us. Still...it's hardly third place, is it? ;-)
