From my journal archives, 2nd day of tech on a new show for which I was the Production Stage Manager:
Yesterday, before we'd even reached the first cue on the first day of tech, I had my thumb smashed in a folding table (the nail is now solid black), narrowly avoided having a heavy pile of cable land on my head (teachable moment -- always announce when you're dropping cable), and nearly tripped down the stairs while carrying a rolling chair (the director responded by asking me to please live through the day). Today, I start the 2nd day of tech with the new knowledge that yes, your thumb can hurt so bad it makes you nauseous and you turn into that person who sits on the ground at Penn Station late at night waiting for your train... but also alive and with no head injuries.... So I'll say first day of tech was a rousing success!
