I'm very good at taking direction

It's ovah. Tear Down passed in a flash, and it's nice to see that each time it gets a bit easier. We started after intermission, as always, which means about 9:30pm. This time we had a bit of extra help from some colleagues, which helped me focus on quarterbacking the effort instead of having to have specific tasks in addition to the quarterback duties. The extra help allowed us to not have to worry about a large chunk of the effort, which in turn helped us finish a bit earlier than last time.

Now, don't be fooled. There's a lot of prep work that goes into getting ready for Tear Down day (TDD). It's not like we just wake up on TDD, put our hard hats and steel toe boots on, and just go to town. We have to get tons of stuff done in advance to make things quick and efficient. The more you can get done in advance, the quicker and easier TDD is. This time, it all went very smoothly, so obviously we're getting better at all the prep work in addition to the day-of tasks.

Finishing time tonight was 1:30am, but we still have to go in tomorrow morning at 8:00am to help the other group that provided the assistance to us tonight. It's all good -- tomorrow I'm just a follower instead of being a quarterback.

I'm very good at taking direction.

But for now, a bit of blogging, a bit of Grand Marnier, and a bit of a wind-down before bed. It's late, but the hard part is ovah. And it's only 36 hours til I fly home : )
