So tomorrow morning at approximately 8.30am, we start building the set for A Soldier's Tale. The timber that we are reclaiming is hopefully going over in the van today, along with the tools from Uni that we are going to be using.
I have arranged to pick Rose up at 8.00am to arrive on site in Poole at 8.30am. Richard is due to arrive at 9am, and I want the studio ready for when he arrives so we can get to work right away.
Today we had the orchestra come in for a rehearsal, and an extra steeldeck has had to be added to the rear of the orchestra stage, and as we are reclaiming the timber to cover it I had to make sure we had enough! I know that we had roughly 90m covering the Floor area in In Extremis, and we had more left over. We need just under 100m to cover the staging so we should be fine. I wont be affixing the staging until wednesday, just cutting the pieces to size and numbering them (with a thick pen this time!) so the job of fixing them to the steeldeck will be much quicker.
I need to make sure everything is printed out neatly showing dims and angles of everything we need as I wont be able to run to the printer every time I need something. BE PREPARED!
It is at this point that I'm also starting to come across problems with communication between the departments. No one seems to be talking directly to me, and is expecting the right answers from the wrong people. I dont have a comprehensive layout of the Ocean Room and I'm trying my best to get the answers, but the model box isnt accurate and I'm still unsure of what the groundplan is.
I know what I am building!
The problem I am finding is that instead of someone coming directly to me (despite always being available on email and my phone, and I live in the CAD Pad) they are asking someone else if I have done something instead of asking me. Which makes me come across like an idiot, and that I dont know what I am doing.
I have only been working on A Soldier's Tale properly since Monday evening and I have been organising and drawing all week trying my very best to get everything right but I feel that there are certain people that are trying to make me look bad and I almost feel like I am being jeopardised.
Everything I am doing I am doing because when I leave university I want to be extremely employable, and the last thing I want is for people to constantly be trying to bring me down!
