when I was in high school, I was on deck crew for one show, had my hand run over by part of the set (luckily no broken bones just really hurt hand that I could barely move), and my they way I decided to help myself was to run into the hall, punch the wall with my other hand.. hurt that one too.. I know real smart huh... but I still got my next changes done on time... (only member of the crew to do it too)
then last Dec while I was ASM a production of Christmas Carol during our student matinée, I was really sick, so I was told to just sleep till the 5 min call and do as little as possible.
and this past semester I was ASMing Caucasian Chalk Circle, I was basically being trained to be one of the SM's next year so I was back at the tech table, and was the person the SM turned to to fix things, so I was jumping up and down a lot, going to the stage and seeing what the actors broke this time. While after our first night of tech, I was walking with the SM and the other ASM to the parking lot when we pasted our house manager, one of the set designers and one member of our costume crew playing Frisbee, and we decided to join them. At one point the set designer launched one, I went running after it, caught it and next thing I knew I was on the ground laying next to a sign that had been welded and standing 1 second earlier, I hurt my knee and my fore arm was bruised. For the rest of tech and the run, my knee would randomly hurt, so I would just limp for a second and continue on my way... prob should have done something more about it then ice and Aleve but hey... and it gave me a really cool profile pic....
