Today started early. I was up before 6, headed out to breakfast, and met up with my team at 7:30. We rode a bus from the campsite to the welcome center, and got to work.
We set up a few things outside, then we moved inside to help the registration team. There are 10,000+ International Service Team members, and while a good third or more of them came through yesterday, there are still plenty more. The registration team makes sure all the required training and medical screening is taken care of, gets each participant their credentials, and most importantly gets them their lunch tickets.
In the afternoon we went back outside to do some training. Our main job will be the day visitors when they arrive during the week. We have to set up equipment and learn about the process, and it will all be done outside.
It is hot out here.
Thankfully the forecast says it will cool down just a little after the weekend.
After our official duties were done, I went back inside the welcome center to help the registration team some more. I enjoyed all the different people who came through, and I gave a few people smiles by being able to say their names properly. I’m sure I completely butchered a few, too.
I finally got tired around 10 PM. We had been told we didn’t need to be back until 1 PM the next day, so staying late wasn’t overly detrimental to my schedule. Now I’m heading back to the campsite on a bus, and plan to not set an alarm for tomorrow morning.
