Fear #1 of Art Department: FORGETTING SOMETHING

My #1 fear that happens in my job is forgetting something that the Director or DP has requested. It shows unprofessionalism & disorganization. I recheck things 3 times the night before to make sure everything is all set for the next day, but if it wasn't written down or not in the script and later than added by just a suggestion & they don't get it...well it is a grumpy day on set.
I do have the frame of mind that we are NOT doing surgery. There is no patient on the table--if something is missing or wrong, that involves shouting, otherwise the problem can be solved because there is always Time (or they'll just have to deal without it). It will cost more, but there is Time (and a fabulous crew). Phew.
