Again?

Wow - I've been writing a lot, but I guess it's because I have a lot to say.

Today, just maybe an hour ago, we wrapped up our third and final studio show: Tech in the Bay. When I came in, the other producers were less than pleased that I failed to contact them with my script. The honest truth was: I was busy and I forgot, but I had pre-typed it and then was shocked to realize that they expected me to send my script. Since we had pre-planned it before - I was sure that they already knew about my little segment.

And so our show started out rough with constant arguments about positions and the set, and we all tried our best, but with all the disagreement, I guess tempers got a little thin. We had arguments about chairs, tables, and the back drop. Finally, when I got to directing, I found that it doesn't matter what position you have: if you don't speak up, no one's ever going to listen.

I felt as if perhaps, I should have been more outspoken on my opinion, since I was producing. But behind the fact we had so much disagreement on set - the actual show turned out pretty cool. But still, I felt as if I kind of messed this up. First because I felt as if no one really CARED about my opinion and second because I never had the guts to SAY my opinion...

Next year, I'm going to voice my opinion since I'll have the experience and I'll try to help the other people, who have less experience. Because I learned today that true leadership and teamwork means really coming together and working together - helping one another but bringing the show forward...
