Oh the joy of my Job.

So, let me just explain a few things about where i work. I work at a movie theater, I am the assistant manager here, and I have worked here for about four years. I've only been in the manager department since about April. Well, at first everything seemed to be going smoothly, until summer hit.

First off, we are doing "kids shows" every wednesday morning for free, every week at eleven o'clock. well, it just so happens that i switched shifts with my darling manager lisa, so that i would open every wednesday because it works out better for us. Little did i know (and to her surprise too) that the first kid show was gonna turn out like...well you think of a word. The projectionist (the person who turns on and runs the movies) was not scheduled at the proper time. The employees were not scheduled at the proper time. and it just so happens that only one of them answered her phone so that she could come in earlier. Luckily i was able to get a hold of a different projectionist who came and got the movie going.

Second kids show. Once again, employees were not scheduled at the proper time. Luckily two came in after I called them. This was the second week, so advertising had really gotten out there, and more people knew about the show. Well, the movie was strung up (started) in one of our smallest theaters, so we had to turn a lot of angry people away. Most of which had already bought drinks and popcorn. OOps.

Third kid show. I was late. by a lot. and some strange man with twelve dogs in his rusty van was waiting outside the doors. but everyone got in and got in the movie just in time. (employees were scheduled, and movie was in bigger theater)

So i am awaiting the outcome of tomorrow's kid show and the disaster that it might bring. Good Thing, (sarcastically) the Dip'n Dots freezers both shut down because someone plugged them both into a plug that doesn't have enough amps. Now, let's just say they are not dots anymore.

One more delightful day that i might just share about, was two Sundays ago, I was sitting behind the counter with my fellow employee, Tali, and we were just chatting while all the other employees were on break. Suddenly, the power in the whole theater went out. It just so happens that we had recently got rid of our generators because they were too expensive to keep up when the power only goes out every once in a while. well, it did that day, a day that happened to be part of a weekend, that happened to be the weekend that Disney's Wall-E came out. Needless to say there were a lot of tickets handed back out. And of course a lot of angry people. (Because heaven forbid you buy a popcorn thats "so freakin expensive" and you can't watch your movie while you eat it.) sorry folks, we don't plan power outtages.
