Well, 5am start! OMG, for those who know me, this is NOT my favourite time of the day. But I made it in and was awake for most of the morning. It was soooo slow. I was doing access monitoring again, and asked for a pee break. When I came back, they said that I missed all the action. They had let some press in to interview one of the German figure skaters! Ah, it's like that Kit Kat commercial, where you have a break and that's when the bear comes out and you've missed the photo!
It was 10 hours long and very cold. I was on the lower arena level and got posted in areas where I could not see the ice. Only when I did relief for people's breaks did I get a glimpse of the ice skating pairs from the Ukraine, UK and Swizterland. Most of these athletes are lean, young and pretty good looking. I brought my binoculars this time. Smart, eh?
However, I did get to greet some athletes at the athletes entry. Skaters from Romania, Japan and Hungary. Cool.
Another gluten free pizza for lunch and a bowl of chili. Kept me going for the afternoon.
My next shift is tomorrow, 5 am again. This is going to kill me. I'm going to bring a book, make the time go by faster. Most of my posts were solo today, so didn't meet too many people. They had a "get to know you" contest for volunteers and I'm hoping to win a prize. Complete 7 questions about fellow volunteers, inlcuding finding someone who lives out of province, speaks 3 languages, worked at the World Cup, has an exotic pet (I found a lady whose daughter has a rat!), an officer who is not VPD and born in Europe. Can't remember the 7th question. I'll find out tomorrow if I win a prize.
