Standing at attention...but not really

Probably one of the cooler things about working here is the chance to wear some really sweet gear! Monday morning we headed back into Whistler Village to be fitted for our Vanoc uniform! All the volunteers and workforce have the same items but there's a difference between the city and mountain people based on the pants (mountain staff get actual ski pants!)!

It's a sweet colour and the reflective stuff is super reflective...you know, like the ACTUAL Olympic rings on the back and the 'Vancouver 2010' written on the legs and arms! Other than the fact that each item is made in China........I'm pretty pumped for the opportunity to wear it (especially the fact that we only get 2 long sleeve shirts for 2 months of work...but anyway...)!

Let's start from the top:

1. Vancouver 2010 toque (awesome!)

2. Two long sleeve t's -- made of BAMBOO which is soooooo soft! One is solid blue, the other has a design.

3. A fleece vest with Vancouver 2010 on the front and back

4. A water proof shell jacket with Vancouver 2010 in reflective on the arm -- the zip on the front is on an angle...and I share this only because it was told to me at least 3 times when trying it on! Not only that but there are OOBER reflective Olympic rings on the back! WhaBAM!

5. Navy blue ski pant with Vancouver 2010 down the leg.

Not bad, eh?

Now, we won't officially start wearing them until January 29th but thankfully that won't stop me from trying it on every so often! Until then, the army is moving in to check every square inch of the athletes village. So far, they've started coming in and driving their equipment around which is beyond cool. Apparently, they're going to be opening every single space possible and every box and lifting every bed and and and...it's quite the operation to say the least -- and they'll do it in about 3 days! It's pretty impressive...just like their mustaches!
