uuuuugh

I'm just beat. I just finished 6 hours of hang and focus (hanging and focusing lights for a dance show tomorrow) after a regular day at work. TD, of course, is out of town (yeah, he said he'd help on tuesday, I'm sure not remembering that rehearsal starts at noon, and the lights need to be ready BY then, and we can't use the stage in the morning because of classes.). Boss was on his way out, and, to his credit, stayed to help, even conquering his fear of heights to climb a ladder! I then called in S (who was at dinner with N) who also had forgotten that we tech the show at noon tomorrow. They both came in after their dinner to help (didn't I say that they were fabulous ladies!). So I worked alone from 4 til 630 or so, and then Boss joined in. N and S came in about 8 or so. The best part of the whole evening? The AC has gone out again, and it was warm in the theatre, especially 18' in the air. It just got warmer all afternoon. Everything appears to be running (two weeks ago we had the freon recharged to the tune of 180 lbs of coolant!, and thankfully that appears to be still there.) and charged. So, no clue.
Boss thinks I'm giving the dance troup too much light. I explained to him that most of what I did tonight was simply restoring the lights after the last rental (they brought in 25 of their own lights, and mine had to be re-located). Basically, their show was a drama on a 16' square stage, with no color to speak of, with half rented lights. This is a full stage, dance show, with all my own stock. No, Boss, not much change. As it was, I'm only adding 12 units to what is my base plot.

Ok, gotta get out of here. Home to wife. It's looking like I won't be camping this weekend. I think what I'm gonna do is take the full week off after that. Maybe I'll go camping at the state park here in town. It's pretty nice as state parks go.
