Day 2

Better! Met an interesting lady, Jane, who is a successful freelance publicist and we chatted for pretty much 8 hours.  We did answer the occasional question from a spectator like where is the basketball entrance - right in front of you sir!

When I arrived I had asked the work force person if I could have a more interesting shift today.  She looked at me confused.  It seems the job is the same, it's just a question of where you are positioned.  I had previously asked around and it seemed Street Market was quite well liked so asked for that - Orange.  It was the quietest and easiest job so far.  You could see the BA monitor through the trees in Park Live and was stationed by the basketball arena which looks good - especially lit. The people were friendly. 

Highlights of the day - other than meeting Jane - being shown our patch by the group team leader (that's a first) and pointing out all the relevent things like toilets, watching Team GB receive their silver medal for the Equestrian and   watching a swimming medley race on the BA screen, having a Big Mac, watching the 7 minutes BP show about how they were trying to be sustainable, observing how the self appointed, senior team leader handled another team leader going AWOL for 2 hours, meeting a lovely couple on the train home who had been to the beach volleyball.  That’s about as exciting as it gets!
