It took a very long time tonight for the client to load their truck. Part of the problem is how large a set it is, and part of it is that they are trying to fit more stuff in the truck than it came with. And it came full.
"Coppelia" on a weekend run does not require fully-built house sets and a gajillion drops. On the bright side we got it all taken apart without the set guy (who comes to guide us on building and striking the sets). I don't know if he showed in the end or not, but we got the work done without him. This is a guy who seems incapable of delegating work. So he has to oversee everything. Every individual thing. Including folding drops. Four years ago he made us open up any drop he didn't personally oversee the folding of. Not a happy crew.
Show went down at 4:30 or so. It took three hours to get the set taken apart and loaded. Granted, that's not a long time, all things considered, but it was a long three hours for us. Not to mention that we hadn't had food since noon. Not a happy me.
I am now home, and my hubby gave me pizza and beer and I am considerably happier.
