Heading to the venue for a 10 - 6 shift. The women are playing today, so the crowds will be much smaller. However, we will sell more coke products. Beer is not really big with moms and their children.
4 more days of events.
Talk to you soon.

Cuba Gooding Jr. sighting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No camera, but I did scream his name. He turned around and I got the biggest smile and wave from him.
We are tired now, but we have 5 more busy days left. It is hard to believe that I have been here almost a month.
For those of you who are wondering about me and those boots, "Misery Is Optional". I chose to buy some black crosstrainers and I am wearing those to work. My feet feel better, but it will take a couple of weeks of rest before I am 100%. My Mom told me when I was a little girl, you do not have to wear shoes that hurt your feet. Thanks Mom.
I will see you all soon.

I'm off to work.
As you know, I work at the hockey venue. The way to silence Canadian hockey fans for a while is for your team to win.
GO TEAM USA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WOW!!!!! I did it. The suspension bridge was amazing and scary at the same time. The bridge is 230 feet above the river. The scenery is breath-taking.
The zip line did not work out. The wait is in excess of 4 hours. Maybe I will try it before I leave or maybe not.
I'm back on midnight shift. This shift zaps my energy like no other. I have to make tonight, then I'm done with that shift.
Take care.

I saw Matt Lauer at the hockey venue. I had my camera, but he was working and so was I. I actually had a case of product in my hand.
I know I did not make my sister proud. She would have screamed out his name. Sorry, sister.
I was not working during the USA hockey game, but I was for the Canada game. Canadians love hockey, beer, and Coke products. We worked hard during that game. The last hockey game was a lot slower.
Today, we have another 3 games at the hockey venue. I will be there for the last 2 of the day. I'm off tomorrow. I am going to find the suspension bridge and walk across it and there is a zip line that I may try.
Let's see. I may loose my nerve on the zip line.
Take care. Things are good here.

Well, we made it through opening ceremonies. There was a lot of product purchased.
Did you see the snowboarder entrance and the whales? I thought that was the most amazing part of the ceremony. I got to peep in a few times, but the few was actually better on the TV.
I worked Saturday, Sunday, and today. I work the next 2 days on the 4pm - Midnight shift. I am scheduled a day off on Thursday. Guess what? I am going to take that day.
Downtown Vancouver is booming. There are spectators walking the streets all day and half the night. When they are not walking, they are riding the skytrain and there are lines to get on it. I have waited 20 - 30 minutes to catch a train. If it is after an event, I'm sure the wait is longer.
I have tickets to some events. I will try to make them if work does not interfere. I have 2 medal ceremonies , 1 curling, 1 hockey, and 1 event in the mountains.
I'll let you know how that works out.
I will keep you posted.

Showtime
2/12/2010
It's Showtime.
I am working from 1pm to 10pm. I have been assigned to the opening ceremonies venue for tonight. I will not get an opportunity to see the opening ceremony, but I hear it is an amazing event.
As I stated in one of my earlier posting, it will take all of us working together to pull this off. All 60,000 spectators will be there, and they will come hungry and thirsty.
Before now, I had no idea what a product merchandiser went through in a course of a day. I now have a greater appreciation for them and the job they do everyday to get Coke products to our consumers.
Fighter jets just took off from the airport. Security is high.
If you see a product merchandiser today, tell them thank you for all they do and let them know that the Vancouver product merchandisers are working hard to make them proud.
It's hard work, but I'm having a great time.
My battle cry for today is "Feet Don't Fail Me Now". I will be auctioning off my steel-toed work boots upon my return.
I'll keep you posted.
