At least you HAVE a backup! Count your blessings. (I technically have a backup on lighting, but that means I'm pulling from the streaming, sound, or multimedia crew, so somebody else has to be filled in for.)


If I have a robotics event on Sunday, I take Monday off of work. I need that gap day to recover, refocus, and take care of stuff I normally take care of on weekends. I've noticed when I don't have that... So I prefer Thurs-Sat events. Vacation time, neutral; dealing with other "stuff", it just works better that way.
