wow what an amazing experience, i volunteered there on both day and i had a blast..
on Saturday my shift was from 10 - 3 but i stayed for an extra half an hour..
i met Andrew who i worked with for awhile, then he got to do performers services.. lucky guy..
so i stayed at the alcon tent with working with the people handing out the ring and the prizes....
there were these old Chinese grandmas who didn't listen and kept coming back.. what do they do with all that foil and rulers and totes and paper? i got really sick of seeing them... ahhh
thank god for break, there was free food for the volunteers, there were sandwiches and drinks and coffee and timmy hos..=) yeaah i walked around for a bit when there were many of volunteers in the tent...
day 2
Sunday shift 1-6 but i stayed till 7:30
oh god.. i was asked to do THE GROSSEST thing that I've ever done in my life...
and that would be enviro... i had to take the garbage out of the garbage bins and but them onto this car thingy.... and then dump them into a big disposal bin...
there were the most disgusting and weird stuff that were in the garbage.. and it was really stinky and smelly and gross.. but i was pretty interesting and might i say it, fun? the guy me and Joan was working for was pretty cool and not bad (looking)... lol yeaah.. in the beginning there was this odd guy with us, well he had a lot of energy and wasn't afraid to shout stuff that sorta didn't make sense..yeah then later, he went with another guy.. can you say yeah!, well we could've used his strength and willingness to do a lot of work :P yeaah w.e i was sorta happy? yeaah
Brent. the guy's shift was done at 3ish so we were done with envrio...
yupp, we took a short break, but i thought that that was boring so we ( me and Joan) got to go to help with the medals.. =) oh i just remembered that we got to go into the beer garden.. heheh underage... the other 'weird' guy gave it to us to take in b/c he said that he was underage.. i was like uh okay... like we were legally allowed to drink yeah....psh
yes now back to the medals things.. so we helped Jim with the awards and stuff and it didn't involve much.. so what we did was find the medals that Jim needed to give to the paddlers...and sort them out and thats about it.. there was a lot of sitting around and waiting for the paddlers to show up ... i met Jeremy, he was the photographer... Joan left when her shirt ended at 6.. i stayed b/c i didn't have anything better to do.. :) me and Jeremy talked while we were waiting.. it was pretty interesting and insightful....and Jim talked too...
when we couldn't wait anymore, we packed the stuff up and the three of us left.. and some people packed and drove the stuff away....
then i left and went to bus home... which i another story which I'm too lazy to write...
the short is.. missed bus, missed bus.wrong bus.. walked up to 33rd... waited..bus home =)
