Ah, another 5 am start. I just can't get enough sleep!
I was assigned outside to the foxtrot team, working the workforce, or accreditation entry. We just scan staff in and make sure they go through random security screening when the computer system says so.
Nothing of note today, other than another ticketed figure skating event, ice dance. Lots of fans showing up at 6am to watch! Just crazy. Some Japanese fans came without tickets and were hoping to see famous people. Too bad we couldn't let them in, and that the athletes come on a bus and get dropped off at a secure entrance...We had other people just walking the grounds and wondering what was going on. Too bad I don't speak Mandarin to help these women out.
I worked with 2 other wonderful volunteer hosts and we managed ourselves for the whole day. Margaret Ardine and Christianna Wilder. Goes to show you that there are great volunteers out there, and also bad ones. Lots of people quitting, not showing up for their shifts, or leaving early.
I got off at 130pm and went home, hoping to stay up, but eventually ended up on the couch fast asleep for almost 4 hours!
I caught some tv coverage and Canada lost to the US hockey team, we missed another medal for the ski cross when our Canadian Chris Delbosco crashed on the last bump, he could've had bronze. We got silver in the long track speed skating though (it looked almost like a Gold, but not quite), ladies 1500m, Kristina Groves.
