An 'I" for an "I'

I & I means inventory and inspection. Our teams works through the rooms and check to see if everything works. We make a list of deficiencies and then create work orders for the fix.
First thing today we went to three of the 'portables' that will house the extra delegates/non athletes. these buildings are long hallways with sleeping rooms. for some reason all the doors on one side are flat panel and the other side are raised panel. this only makes a difference when figuring out where to put the evacuation cards (flat panel above the eyehole, raised panel, below).
The top '25' teams will know where their rooms in the main village are in advance of arrival. In many cases for the larger teams they will have been able to request a certain facility. For some of the smaller nations, with fewer than 10 athletes, they may not know where their rooms will be until they arrive on site.
I "I&I'd" a couple of rooms today that had killer views of the Tantalus glacier and the Athletes Village plaza. somehow I can see the athlete occupants hosting more than a few get togethers in their rooms when there is entertainment in the plaza.
this afternoon we did I&I duty in what will become the hostel after the games. What a great facility and such an improvement locationally on the whistler hostel now (currently located across the lake, without bus service. People staying there have been known to walk across the ice at night to shave miles off their journey home. in whistler's warm again, cold again climate, not a safe idea).
Tired by the end of the day. somehow all that bending, plug testing, and blind cord untieing and lowering/raising was exhausting.
