Technical Direction - Paperwork Project

WithoutACount(10:48:15 PM): i have a question about the paperwork project
CountThis(10:48:25 PM): k
WithoutACount(10:51:55 PM): I am a little bit confused about how we are supposed to figure out inventory if people like DR cant help us. I think you want us to actually go around purnell and count things, but how can we do that if A. we don't have access to the places where things are stored and B. for platforms/soft goods and rigging stuff I know a lot of the stock is being used in the shows right now and C. if I wanted to do an inventory of platforms aren't most of them stored at the warehouse?
CountThis(10:52:35 PM): a. what can you not make arrangements to have access to?
WithoutACount(10:52:55 PM): isnt a lot of the rigging stuff sotred backstage of the chosky
CountThis(10:52:58 PM): b. what can you not discuss with people working on the shows about what is in the shows?
CountThis(10:53:20 PM): c. yes, most of the platforms are stored at the warehouse.
CountThis(10:53:35 PM): Do you not have access to the Chosky?
WithoutACount(10:54:19 PM): is it open durring the day or isnt it locked up becuase of all the sideshow stuff
CountThis(10:55:20 PM): even if it is locked, can you not make arrangements to have access?
WithoutACount(10:56:19 PM): i guess i could, i just assumed people wouldnt be to keen on wanting people rummaging around things
CountThis(10:56:53 PM): well
CountThis(10:57:05 PM): perhaps this is something that would have been better done earlier
CountThis(10:57:14 PM): but as long as you don't make a mess you should be fine
CountThis(10:57:27 PM): you guys are ok to work together on getting counts
CountThis(10:57:37 PM): so its not like 9 people will be tromping through
WithoutACount(10:59:27 PM): is there anyway or who would be the right person to ask if i wanted to find information on platforms, since most of them arent stored in purnell or is it not worth it for me to try to find information about that
CountThis(11:00:14 PM): someone from class, or a couple of people, will likely have to go do a hard count.
WithoutACount(11:01:49 PM): ok, thanks for your help
CountThis(11:02:52 PM): sorry I don't have an easy answer. the counting is part of the project. :-[
WithoutACount(11:05:03 PM): no no i understand, i just wish i knew more about where things were in purnell, but i guess thats why were doing this project to learn that.....
CountThis(11:05:13 PM): something like that
