On the face of it, today looked like a pretty easy day. Two guys talking in a room basically with a little extra action to keep it spicy - no biggie. Yet it felt like everything in the universe was conspiring against us getting it done. One of our lighting rigs broke down almost immediately, leaving the whole unit to twiddle their thumbs for over an hour. Following that an internal fan at our location decided to switch on whenever the room hit a set temperature... And when there's two dozen people working with hot lights in a confined space, the fan had a nasty habit of turning on just as we went for a take to the chagrin of the sound department. So we were on the backfoot for most of the day but we powered on regardless. Everyone knew we were running behind and that galvanized our unit: crunch time to get it done in fear of doing OT on a Friday.
Glad we didn't go over because that meant there was more time to spend up at the board game night. We had a really solid crowd up there too, plenty of laughs to be had, especially over the exacting definition of a 'sandwich' which got everyone talking feverishly, all for the sake of a few imaginary points in a board game. Always a fun way to capture off a Friday night.
