The Double Edged Sword

So, as one might guess from the hours I've been talking about, I've been pretty busy... At the moment, I am getting a short breather because I am working on a bid for a major show. Unfortunatly, the client has let this slide way too long. The show has to go out my door on the 18th... The designer left town today untill atleast Sunday... What this comes down to is that I am now essentially designing the set in the spirit of what the designer wanted. I have been working on this particular show for several years, so I know the client very well, and know what they expect, and demand... To put it mildly, they are demanding... Removing the designer from the loop does help me somewhat as I can now push things around to fit given materials. It does however mean a lot more drafting for me... However, the major plus side of bidding, is that I get to leave after 5pm most days as I can't contact most of my suppliers after then... 'Course, every day we spend screwing around with bids, is one less day to actually build this show.
The clock continues to unwind...
