Tales from the Olympic Help Desk: Prelude
Welcome to the beginning of my series of posts on my Olympic volunteer experience!
So far, I don’t really know too much about what I’m doing. Here’s the basics:
- My title is “Help Desk Level 2″
- I’ll be working at BC Place (site of medal ceremonies, as well as the opening and closing ceremonies)
- I’ll also be working at Canada Hockey Place (site of men’s hockey, and probably some other things too)
- I do 12 shifts in all, including the morning of the opening ceremonies and the night of the closing ceremonies
My venue-specific training is this Saturday, and my first shift is this Sunday, so I’ll know a lot more about it then. I’m going to try to write an entry after each shift (training included), and probably a summary at the end, meaning this series should be about 15 posts – by far my biggest blog undertaking.
To help keep me motivated, be sure to leave a comment with any questions you may have about my experience. I’m going to try to answer anything you give me, as well as post whatever pictures I can – it may be limited, but I’ll squeeze whatever I can out of the volunteer’s communication protocols.
Watch this space for more!
