As my first day Thursday 19 May came closer I found that the butterflies were getting a bit larger yet I knew that if I tried my best then i would be okay. For me having Asperger's and trying new things can be often hard yet I somehow get through it with God's help. I know it sounds a bit weird yet it is very true for me.
Two different ships |
Being a car and driving person is all that I know basically. So when it comes to public transport the newness of it can be quite overwhelming to me in some ways. Yet I noticed I few interesting things in the harbour like a ship and other boats where I started taking a few photos. It finally docked and I was so relieved to see it was closer to where the bus stop was meant to be.

The cruise ship.. |
Soon the talk finished and I was about to do a task of escorting a couple of authors to our venue which would be interesting. The names sounded familiar and I wondered whether they had to do with the late Chris O’Brien who was the really Doctor at RPA Hospital. At the allotted time I went to the writer's room to ask for the writers. They then came out where we were all introduced with shaking of hands and so forth. As I was leading them to the venue it felt I had to help take care of them and make sure that they got there okay. So I'd look back quite often while I was making small talk to another lady. We got there then I left them with the next lot of people. Not long after their talk started which was http://www.swf.org.au/program/swf2016/gail-and-juliette-obrien-after-catastrophe-66

Question time came then I was the one walking around the microphone which was another interesting moment. At one point I was stuck in the middle of the room wondering which side to go to for another question. I was teetering backwards and forwards on both feet which must have looked amusing to the audience. Next thing I knew the interviewer said something like "Your confusing the poor girl."
I can't remember exactly yet it was something like that. It brought a smile to my face yet a bit embarrassed at the same time. After that the rest of that time went quick then it was time for the next segment and tasks for that.
The Bus Stop |
The sun was setting fast down at the wharves yet the evening events were just coming into their own. Next thing we knew a lady named Peggy came and introduced ourselves talking about things that were going to be happening for the next segment. Yet little did I know that she was on of the main participants for the next segment. http://www.swf.org.au/program/swf2016/mick-turner-and-peggy-frew-living-dreaming-making-75
Which was quite funny in a sense because it's such a big festival. So we were all doing what we had to do and next thing we knew the lights went out in the huge room. We also had quite a big queue with a lot of people standing waiting in line to get into the show. There was a bit of light yet very dim and quite hard to see. Quite a few other volunteers didn't know what was happening so I thought to find a supervisor or someone else in the team to help out. I found someone else to help out with the lighting where informed some people in the queue. Surprisingly they seemed really calm and relaxed. Not long after the other lady came back and informed everyone that all was alright saying something about mood lighting. She then came up to me and thanked me for my help which was nice of her. It finally dawned on me that maybe they did turned the lights like that on purpose and it was at the point I did a cringe to myself saying "Doh"...

After all the people were in there were a couple of late comers where we the volunteers helped them which was also quite interesting. I heard bits and pieces of that session because I was doing other things as well which needed to be done. It wasn't too long before that session finished and I ended up staying later then my shift ending to help out a bit more because I wanted to.
