I've had a crazy last couple of weeks. Last voyage the AV Manager left, and I was forced to do both of our jobs for 7 days until the new AV Manager (Matt) signed on. I was tired and stressed to the max. Likely as a result, the day after Matt got here I slipped into grossness and was sick as a dog for 3 days. I got signed off duty by medical, but because we are training a new lights, a new sound, and with a new AV Manager I had to work all of the shows anyway just to make them go as smoothly as possible. Needless to say no fun.
Then by the time I felt healthy I had 3 days to prep for the incoming cast - who arrived today. I was working from 9am-1am with no down time ... So today... it is now 10:15pm. I have a show starting in 15 minutes... I slept for 4 hours last night. I am beat beat beat. I will sleep very well tonight.
I don't have an impression of the new cast yet. But I know that I will miss the old cast.
It turns out that Matt is only here for 3 weeks, and then the new lighting tech will take over as AV Manager and we will get a new hire lighting tech. What. a. mess.
Oy veh, no wonder we haven't heard from you! So sorry to hear about the stress and illness! hugs and prayers are headed your way.
ReplyDeleteI hope things are going better, Kiddo. I understand about running a lean operation, but it always seems like you're just one small step away from everything going kablooey!
