Today was a tad crazy. It didn't start off that way, exactly. After getting 4 hours of sleep, I got to work at 10am and Teresa was having us stock up on evvvverything. Extra everything, back-up everything, double check everything. For a while, it seemed like we were overreacting a tad because it wasn't that bad. It was steady, but not crazy busy. ( Read more... )

Going to work at noon is so incredibly nice, lemme tell you. I got to sleep in until 10:15, and I felt soooo much more rested. I got to work and me and Esi strung up more stars and played Movie Volleyball. It's a game where you name an actor, and the other person has to name a movie they were in. Then you name another actor from the movie and so ( Read more... )

Work went by really fast today. It was a full day; got there at 10 and left at 6. But it just seemed to go fast. Esi and I attached string to a whole lotta stars and colored some blank ones. It was fun. I basically got paid to sit and color. I finally got my $50 sushi gift certificate. So now I just gotta figure out when I can take advantage of it ( Read more... )

So I guess today wasn't as bad as I was expecting, though it was still a busy day. Started off slow, but then it picked up around 2ish. A lot of people, a lot of stuff to do, I sold 29 combos and it was a decent day. We have 2 plasma screens in the lobby that show what's called "The Twenty," which is previews and commercials and stuff for movies. ( Read more... )

Donna and I trained a new girl today, Jenny. It was fun and she's nice. She's friendly and pretty easy going, so it was fun. Rob (a projectionist) lent me his Star Wars trilogy VHS tapes, because I'd said once that I never saw "Return Of The Jedi." He seemed very nervous about letting them out of his sight. He said it's the first time he's lent ( Read more... )

Today wasn't a very good day. Nothing bad happened, it was just a bunch of little things that put me in a bad mood. I got to work, and one of the new girls was on the register I'm usually on. I was really annoyed and bitter about that, but then I felt guilty because it's not like I have a claim on the register. It's just the one I prefer. Then ( Read more... )

Another work day over, another day closer to Sunday. Sold 11 combos, feet are sore. I forgot to mention Esi, this girl who came back to Regal for the summer. She's really funny and cool and we hit it off right away yesterday. She's into theater and films and knows Eddie Izzard and we almost robbed a bank this morning. Not really. We went to the ( Read more... )

Work was good. It was pretty slow, even with the opening of "Shrek 2." But it is Wednesday, so most kids were in school during the day, and it's a school night. So it wasn't busy. Saturday will be hellacious, I imagine. But it'll be a good combo day probably. Though I did sell 13 today, which is really good for a weekday ( Read more... )

Today was a really fun day. I worked from 2-6 and sold 6 combos, which is really good for a weekday matinee. I had made plans to see movies with Kat, and Laura randomly showed up as well. She was checking on her application at the theater and decided to join us at the movies. We got something to eat at the food court, then saw "Van Helsing." It was ( Read more... )

Today was quite a day. Me and Rich opened the theater this morning, doing all the grunt work with the popcorn and the stock and everything. For most of the day, it was just me on concession, Rich on box office, the projectionist and Wells bouncing around. Later Teresa came in, Ben and Zac were cleaning and Eric was on door. But there were not that ( Read more... )
