A little update

I have been terrible at updating this!  Sorry faithful readers (if there are any)...

I thought that I would write what I did everyday but its kinda boring after a while, but now I will update you on a few things that I have been working on.

Youth Olympic Games
Currently, my main focus is the Youth Olympic Games.  I am helping with Registration for the games.  Making sure that each of the athletes forms are filled out correctly and organizing/keeping track of them.  I am also working on the apparel.  Most of it arrived today, tomorrow we are going to count and organize it so that we can send all of the apparel off to the athletes before they leave for the games in Singapore in August.  I have also been helping with the ticket order.  I have organized all the envelopes so when the members of my department get to Singapore all they will have to do is look at the envelopes and add the appropriate tickets and hand them off to the families.

Vancouver 2010
Each athlete and staff member receives a number of commemorative items after the Olympic Games.  I have been working on preparing to send out the watches that were ordered in Vancouver in February.  Its a lot of pieces to coordinate, and of course the watches are arriving the same week as the YOG apparel, so they are going to be put on the back burner for now, but as soon as the apparel is out to the Singapore kids we are going to send out those watches, and we are ready to do it!

Guadalajara 2011 (Pan American and Para Pan American Games)
I've been working on helping make the accreditation process better, through modifying and helping to organize the spreadsheet where we keep track of everything.  Guadalajara is not super prepared, they just started building the village in the middle of June, and the PanAm games are only a year away!

London 2012
My supervisor started working here almost a year ago, and she inherited some pretty interesting spreadsheets from the people before her.  She asked me to review them, and they were pretty hard to use.   So I took the ones that they used in Vancouver for the Nike and Polo Ralph Lauren apparel given to the athletes and coaches, and retooled them so they are ready for use for the London 2012 Summer Games.  I've also been in a few planning meetings for PRL and Nike.  It's exciting to work on Games that are so close.  I really hope to be in the organization full time by London 2012

So that is a little bit of what I've been doing this summer, plus, other duties as assigned :)
