I had another 9:00 – 6:00 shift today but thought I would still catch the 7:15 train as most of my other shifts are 8:00 to 3:00, so I might as well get there earlier today and get into a habit. I had a bit of extra time today to sit in the old Canadian Pacific station to watch people coming and going. Yesterday I had noticed a couple of other volunteers wearing their bright blue uniforms, but today I saw a few more and I am sure that there will be more and more as the games draw closer. I need to check in every day at the bow of Canada Place (they say it is a one klm walk round trip to our tent) and get my shift card stamped. On the day of my 3rd shift (Friday) I will be getting a volunteer gift, a way for them to insure volunteers keep coming.
It was another slow day today (about 65) so we are wondering if a lot of the media might be getting their cards validated at the airport where there are 8 stations in the domestic terminal and 8 in the international terminal. They did check on the computer and it looks like there are still 9,000 Media that still need to be done, so either we will be getting bigger crowds or the airport will. I have met some more great volunteers and everyone is very friendly and we have some great laughs through the day. Even if the media says Vancouver volunteers don’t smile they must have missed our tent.
