Schedule

Good news! My work schedule has arrived and I have now confirmed that I will be very busy for the 2 weeks of the Olympics, which is exactly how I wanted it. I will be working 6 days a week and most of my shifts are from 1:30-10:30 or until we are finished. I am on duty most days at the end of the day so we stay until things are cleaned up. My only concern is I hope the buses are still running on a regular basis at that time of the night. That is something I will investigate after I get there. My training is on the 10th and 11th and my first shift is on the 12th.
I wanted to let you know that this Saturday and Sunday the Mint is having an open house to show off the Olympic medals, before they head off to Vancouver. In case you didn`t know these medals are record setting. For one thing every athlete will get a medal that is different from any other and that is a first in Olympic history and secondly they are wavy to represent the mountains and the ocean that are so representative of Vancouver. Agan this is the first time the medals have not been flat. If you want to read more about it and take the virtual tour of them in the making, go to www.mint.ca. Click on `learn`, click on `Vancouver2010` and over on the left you will see the word medals. Click on that. I am sorry this is so wordy but I can`t find a website address that will take you right there.
