So I said I would do one of these, though there really isn't much to say.
I ended up working right out front all but 1 day and on the second shift of my doubles. Mostly all I did was direct people and take photos for them. There's probably a good dozen or so pictures of me floating around in peoples photos as well, even a couple of videos. Other than that, spent most of the time just randomly talking to people, the police and workmates. The other two days I caught a little of probably the worst two sports in my arena, weightlifting and greco roman wrestling, but it was nice to see something.
I had fun, had a really good team to work with that made the days go quicker and more enjoyably (there is a photo up of us all). 16 days in a row with 3 double shifts did take it's toll by those last few days, but it was all worth it.
Only had one bad moment but that was sorted out quick enough, was a bit of a weird situation.
Other than that, I'm glad I did it, and not just for the money as I thought it would be by the end of things.
