until Tokyo Olympics

Giving up working at the Tokyo Olympics

The orientation for the Tokyo Olympics has started, especially in Tokyo, it is held from February to May.
However, I haven't received any invitation yet.
Now, I'm certain I wouldn't received it anymore, because it's already at the end of March.

So, I've gave up working at the Tokyo Olympics.

Actually, when I declined the WRC volunteer at the end of last month, I also gave up the Tokyo Olympics.

To be honest, any disappointed feeling never come up in my mind. Rather, I'm relieved.

As I wrote here a bit, I've been realizing that the TOCOG is very sloppy, slow, vague and out of touch with the general public.
I didn't write here about that all, but it's terrible.
The TOCOG mostly consists of the metropolitan officials, so it might be a matter of course.
I've said that the RWC organizational committee is much better than the TOCOG. But after that, it has been obvious that the RWC committee is also sloppy and dull.
That's one of the reasons why I declined the RWC volunteer without any hesitation.

I wanted to work at the Tokyo Olympics, but it means I have to work for such a organization.

I'm a straight business person. It wouldn't be impossible to work for it, even though it is just a volunteer.

This situation probably tells me that I should be focused on what I should do, which is involving in helping children in harsh situation.

So, I decided to enjoy the Olympics as an audience.
Securing tickets would be very difficult though!

Declining the RWC volunteer

At the end of last month, I finally received the role offer of the Rugby World Cup volunteer,

and,

actually I declined working as a volunteer immediately.

The role I was offered was, working around the city and fun zone, which means, it's not a volunteer who works in the RWC event.

In the Tokyo Olympics, there are 2 kinds of volunteers, one is the event volunteer recruited by the TOCOG, and the other is working in each city which is something like working as a guide for tourists and it is recruited by each city. What I have applied for was, of course, the event volunteer.

So, in the RWC, it is like that I was offered a city volunteer.
I've applied for the RWC volunteer because I wanted to work in the event.
There were many roles for the event expect for the role I was offered.
