Okay there is this other student LD/ tech at my school who handles everything as unprofessionally as possible EXCEPT when he wants something. He's the same one from LD vs. OP (he totally hijacked my show that he was op for.). Now he bailed on a show that he was supposed to be ME. Not only did that mean myself and the technical director put in rediculous hours, but the show suffered. I was LD, but I was so busy fixing broken plugs, bad lamps, and finding extension cords that I barely had time to design. Literally, half my design was not done until during/after final dress!
He has bailed on every strike in the last year or so because of 'family emergencies'. He will also miraculously forget how to do things (like open the curtain) if he doesn't want to do it and force me to do it. Every time this type stuff happens, he lies to the directors and gets out of whatever trouble he's in over the stunts. How do I handle him? He keeps wrecking shows with this stupid stuff and makes me look bad. (Guess what, the director didn't care that I had been at school til almost 11pm the night before and was trying to do 2 peoples job when the cues weren't done in dress.)
