This was the end result of 8 hours of waiting today. The actual procedure took only about 1 1/2 minutes to laminate and affix the obligatory neck strap, but it took 5 hours to get to the Olympic Headquarters from our headquarters(Its only a 15 minute ride) and three hours to get back. there are close to 600 buses parked in the yard and 1000 or more drivers, but they couldn't find a bus or a driver to take us. At any time there are at least 200 buses and 100 drivers sitting around doing nothing. Sunday night I drove a route on Hastings Street. At 2 a.m. a crack-head threw a beer bottle at my Autobus. Several soiled doves waved and gestured at me on my route. Hastings street makes Pioneer Park look like The Plaza at Temple Square. I think I need some pass along cards and several cans of Lysol. In case you are concerned, I did get a full days compensation for sitting around all day. Plus 1 meal and a $45.00 per Diem. More to come.

I keep reading the title of the post in the exaggerated French accent from the tapes my high school French teacher forced on us. I love getting the inside scoop on the Olympics - you're giving Matt Lauer a run for his money!
seriously, all i thought i knew about canada is slowly being ruined in my mind! i enjoy the behind the scenes also...mostly because you make them quite interesting and funny!
You look like a criminal in your picture. Next time, smile please.
Your favorite Wendy's is coming along nicely.
I agree with the pass along cards. We'll be looking for you as we watch the Olympics.
