Yeeeeeeeeeee haaaaaaa! I saw Apollo Ohno today!!! A group of Americans came in through our portal and he was one of them. Yeah! I got to see an athlete that I recognized! Working at the worker's entrance, I thought I wouldn't see anyone. Okay, I can go home now! That made my day! I'm glad the athletes can go in any entrance.In other news, after work I headed over to The Hudson Bay Company - official purveyors of everything Olympic. They call it the Olympic Superstore and they are not kidding. First of all, I had to wait in line to even get in. They let us in 20 at a time and the place was mobbed. Everything imaginable with the Olympic Logo or Canada or the mascots was available. There was a huge wall of pins (I bought 2) and a section set up for pin traders to do their thing. I wandered around in a daze for an hour before coming out with only 2 tee shirts and 2 pins. I really wanted a hand knitted First Nation Sweater, but I didn't have $350. I figure I'll knit one myself. I saw a few girls in Russian uniforms, some Korean team men and a bunch of media people there too.
Tomorrow is my last day for the day shift. This weekend I'll be back to the graveyard for Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
PS - Oh yeah, Apollo was a cutie!
