I am only one week away from the end of 25 day straight work stretch. Woot! I kinda have tomorrow off, I only have to go in from 6-11 pm. I think my friend Jeff and I are going to hang out and watch a movie and eat BBQ and be lazy and do laundry for a bit in the afternoon, either that or we'll go hiking on the beach - the jury's still out.
This tech has been insane, and soooo frustrating. The director is a film director and doesn't understand theatre and how it works. He didn't know how tech worked and didn't understand the idea of building light cues while working rather than having it all pre-programmed. Originally when he looked at the 10 out of 12 schedule, he said "I'll be at my room at the Westin, just call if you need me". He keeps holding by yelling "cut". And instead of telling actors to find their light he keeps saying "Now you're in the movie" which just makes me want to yell from offstage "It's not a movie, it's a play!) I swear if he does either one more time, I may fly out from the wings and attack him, and I cannot be responsible for my own actions at this point. The PM is taking refuge by hiding out in the booth, sound studio and backstage. So I've worked 60 hour work weeks for the last four in a row, I am ready for next weekend once the show has opened and things calm down.
The upside? Since I'm constantly shifting something and running to make shifts in time on this one, I think I might lose a few pounds by the time we close this sucker. ;o)
Sleep, eyelids drooping, yeah sleeping in!
