Rachel Craven Madam Moderator Posts: 2190 From: Pensacola, FL Registered: Dec 2000 posted 02-14-2006 05:08 PM                     After my nice stint of working at McDonald's as Asst. Manager I'm coming back to he theater business... with a nice cut in pay, no insurance, and more hours! YIPPEE! Anyway, I came back because I love it, so it must be worth it. I start Friday.

It must be that time of year. I start back on Thursday at the local 5 plex. I have a regular 'day job' - but I can't seem to stay away from the theatre business. I will be picking up Thursday nights, and filling in a couple of other days.....

Leaving the convienience or food service industry for just about any job in a movie theatre will produce great, super happy feelings in oneself. Enjoy it 'til you remember how annoying people can be.  |  IP: Logged John Eickhof Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 588 From: Wendell, ID USA Registered: Jan 2000 posted 02-15-2006 12:23 PM                        Ahhhh the lure of the movies!! It seems that once it has touched you...it will never leave you! I am glad you are back and I know the biz never left you to begin with!! I know because it touched me 36 years ago..and it remains a part of my life today even though I have a different vocation now!!  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 02-15-2006 05:54 PM                        John - it'll never leave you as long as you have a daughter named after about 5,000 movie theatres!  |  IP: Logged John Eickhof Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 588 From: Wendell, ID USA Registered: Jan 2000 posted 02-17-2006 01:06 PM                        Hi Mike, That's right! Including the name of your theatre!!!  |  IP: Logged Monte L Fullmer Film God Posts: 8367 From: Nampa, Idaho, USA Registered: Nov 2004 posted 02-17-2006 04:02 PM                     ..same here. Been in it for 37yrs, done other jobs on the side even with ones that had great promise and opportunity and then they flopped...and I'm still here wanting more...(lol). When it gets into the blood, it stays there. (and you wonder why one gets so irritated when one sees an operation run by "booth clowns" and/or "UsherBees" - just don't go to movies anymore unless it's the movie that you put together...) -Monte  |  IP: Logged
