    Got my shift schedule today! It's pretty intense - I think I have a whole 2 days off during the whole games!

    How about everyone else?

    Yep! They emailed it to me today (don't worry if you haven't got yours yet though, my housemate is a prog seller too and hasn't got her email yet either)

    I think it really depends on the venue you're working at. I have 10 days worth of shifts in total. Most of them start at 6:30am but I have a couple of 6am starts all the early ones are shifts at the Olympic stadium. I only have one evening shift which ends at 22:40 apparently! Most shifts are 7 or 8 hours long!

    Going to be a long 10 days but I'm really looking forward to it

    Let me know how yours are when you get your email

    Yeah it'll be tiring but worth it 10 days and then you can relax!

    Got my schedule today, didn't get the venue I wanted

    Got a few earlier starts at 6 30 or 7. A lot of my shifts are about 10 hours. I've also got 3 days in a row 6pm to midnight! And I live in greater London so would then have to travel home by train and bus. Wouldn't get home till gone 1am, maybe later! Also don't really fancy getting the bus home at that time by myself.

    My shifts are ok, most of them are 2.00 - 8.30, I've got one early start and one late finish, so that's ok because I live about an hour away from London, all of mine are in the Olympic park apart from one which is at the north Greenwich arena, I've got the closing ceremony
    So excited now

    I've got pretty similar shifts to you it seems - some are at the Olympic Stadium, most are Excel.

    Pretty excited! x
