Olympic Rings at the airport..........
I drove the athletes to the olympic village yesterday all afternoon and evening long. Until 1 am. They called me at 22.10 O'clock to confirm my next assignment. "Can you be here at 6.45 AM tomorow please?!"
I told them that I couldn't because that would be ILLEGAL to do !!
Finishing at 1.15 AM would mean I have to go back to the DEPOT to wash, dump, fuell and clean the inside of the bus. Then I will take the shuttle bus to the hotel (I have to wait for that shuttle bus first, for I don't know how long) After a 1 1/2 hour drive it finnally arrives at the hotel, yesterday night (so this morning) at 3.30 AM. They want me to be back there at 6.45 That means I have to stay on that bus, to go back immediatelly. INSANE !! So they said they would call me back....midnight comes. NO Call, so I call them. "Hey have you changed my scedule?" NO not yet.... but let me call dispatch. He calls me back and says, " if YOU can find someone else to do your shift, we will let you off "
I started laughing, hahahaha, "you want me to call my collegues at almost 1 AM (I am on my way to the DEPOT now) to ask them if they can take my morning shift??" "They are going to kill me"
NO, if you want that shift covered, you should have called me back at 10.10 pm when you first called me, and THEN I would have been so nice to call my fellow drivers to ask them, but I SHOULDN"T HAVE BEEN PLANNED ON THAT JOB ANYWAYS so it's YOUR mistake.
Well all in all, they woke my "lady" co worker who was suppose to be off duty, and she was willing to take that shift. But folks, you see what we have to deal with up here? They ask us to be flexible, well I think I am flexible. I was trained on one route, but I have driven several now that I haven't even done training on, but I am willing to do whatever to help them because I know it's hard to plan things, but don't pull what they were trying to pull me, because I won't do anything ILLEGAL
The rings do change color. I have seen them red, green and white now. Here's a pic to show all 4 colors from a magazine.
It also shows a pic from Shania Twain, the singer who was able to light the Olympic torch.
And this is a close up of what the medals look like.
