Man, I miss working the projectors, feels good to get my hands on them  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 12-21-2002 01:46 AM                        That's nice. Just kidding! I took a year and a half break from projecting recently and once I got back I felt like I didn't miss a single beat. It's like riding a bike, except for when it's not.  |  IP: Logged Bob Maar (Maar stands for Maartini) Posts: 28608 From: New York City & Newport, RI Registered: Feb 2001 posted 12-21-2002 08:28 AM                        Welcome back Daniel, Don't listen to that fellow from Colorado, he doesn't even like Chuck Norris movies. You can let him know that he should never go to Texas. The Rangers are waiting for him. How did you make out on your History of Cinema paper?  |  IP: Logged Daniel Boisson Expert Film Handler Posts: 157 From: Buffalo, NY, USA Registered: Oct 2001 posted 12-22-2002 07:15 PM                     thanks, who doesn't like chuck norris? I of course got an A on the paper .......  |  IP: Logged Adam Martin I'm not even gonna point out the irony.

I had to leave because I couldn't live very well on what they paid (plus no health benefits), although I never did the job for the money (I worked a few second odd jobs on the side, but that got exhausting after a while). That job was the best Christmas present I ever got though. I actually enjoyed working on Christmas every year.  |  IP: Logged
