Do Projectionists Get Strange Dreams???

Your phones can actually be turned OFF!

Yes, that's right! No more ringing at odd hours! No more ringing in movie theaters! No more ringing and interrupting conversations that you are having with real people in real life! No more pissing everybody else around you off! Amazing! Try it! People will actually start to respect you!

Trust me: when the cell phone rings, you do not impress. You annoy.

My most common dream is something like this: I'm running around the booth, frantically threading machines and starting them late, then I get a call on the radio that something's wrong with the sound in auditorium X, then as I am fixing X, something goes wrong in Y, etc. Or, I start the wrong print, or the schedule is all kooky and I get confused, or I go to thread the machine and there is no print on the platter tree (which has actually happened to me once). Thankfully, I haven't had one of those dreams in awhile.

BTW Joe, your rant on cell phones is right on the money!! I am tired of people who rush to grab their phone when I am having a conversation with them...it looks as if they'd rather be with the person on the other end. As far as looking 'important' goes, I read an article recently about the proliferation of electronic communications devices and how it's easier and easier to get a hold of anybody anytime. The conclusion of the article was that, in the future, the really 'important' people will be DIFFICULT to reach (and not at everybody's beck and call), rather than lunging for their electronic leashes at the slightest beep.

I WISH I was that important!
