Sitting for several hours in the dark in Toy Story Land

I've been struggling to find something interesting to write about in this blog post, as my job now solely consists of CAD and Sketchup changes to the cruise destination I've been assigned to work on. However, I finally have an interesting story to tell which caused me great pain but is interesting nonetheless. Yesterday Keith Becker, one of the principals at PBD, invited me to a bamboo planting taking place at Disney's Hollywood Studios in their new Toy Story Land. PBD assisted with the conceptual, schematic, and construction phases of the original project, so now that the themed area is receiving expansions we have been called back to design and provide on-site construction management for Walt Disney Imagineering. The time for the event was from midnight until about 4am, but the idea of being on an active site that the public hasn't seen yet somehow made the time worth it in my mind. Later on that night, I drove up to the parking garage at midnight and met Keith outside the construction zone. He explained to me that not only were we going to be managing a crane to lift the bamboo (which turned out to be 5 200 gallon bamboo plants that each weighed about 2000 pounds) as well as overseeing a crew that was supposed to be coming in to demolish a construction fence blocking our planting area. Keith and I saw the crane operators and went to ask them if they were ready to begin, but found out that the operators had not been told about any bamboo and were instead there to place several streel structures onto the roof of the building. On top of this, the crew still had not arrived to demolish the fence. Keith called someone at Imagineering to talk to the crane operator, and while we waited Keith walked me through Toy Story Land and shared a lot of interesting stories surrounding the design and implementation of the work PBD had done for Disney. The crane operator found us and told us that the crane would lift the structural piece that was already strapped into the crane and would then move our bamboo afterwards. So we waited. And waited. And waited. By now its about 3am and nothing has happened. 0 bamboo has been planted and the crew never showed up to demolish the fence. We talk to the crane operator again who basically tells us off, saying they will get to it soon. So we waited again. The time is now 4 am and Keith is pretty upset. We walk over to the crane operator and tell him, "Hey you said our bamboo was next in line to be moved 2-3 hours ago. Whats the deal?" To which he replies, "We'll get to it tomorrow. Can't do it tonight." A little part of me died on the inside at that moment. So Keith told me I could just go home and sleep in that morning. I got home at 4:45am and instantly fell asleep. I now hate cranes.
