IT'S FINALLY OVER!!!!!!

I got out of bed today at 1pm this morning and I ache all over, but I am not at work for the first time in 13 days, so I am happy. Our last day of this show started at 7am at 33F running ragged at full speed to get the last of the additions put up before a 9:30am camera rehearsal and ended up at 11:30pm at 40F with 30 mile an hour gusting winds. Fun, eh! It seems that one of the producers 1st comments every time he saw me or called me on the radio was "Uhhh, could we add __________." It was never an easy add although he liked to make it sound like it would just take 2 people a few minutes to "throw it up there and attach it with some zip ties." He owes me 3 bottles of Captain Morgan's at this point. I have to say that I could not have asked for a better crew. Hysterical, hard working, reliable, and great personalities. They kicked ass beyond belief and deserved 10x what they got paid. Pilot or not, they deserved more money. At least we got a "shout out" and a big "thank you" from the Supervising Producer in front of the whole crew at the safety meeting yesterday morning. It doesn't pay the rent, but it was nice. Jess was there all day with me as well saying hi to old friends and recruiting for his new job so the day was so much better because of it. So although I can't show any pictures of the job, this is one of my Swing guys with me up in a condor at 40 ft in the air at about 9pm with gusting winds. Only 2 wrap days to go and I can finally kiss this whole job goodbye. Of course, that is until the show gets picked up and I tell them they have to offer me more money than the national deficit to make me do it all over again.
