Author Topic: Days off???? Jason Black Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1723 From: Myrtle Beach, SC, USA Registered: Nov 2000 posted 03-19-2003 11:35 PM                        Like all my company managers, I'm off on Tue/Wed becuase I run full time matiness, year round. Otherwise, they get off on either Tue OR Wed. I also get a weekend a month off, less June & December, all of which, I am allowed to pick, with the exception of Holiday weekends where business is expected to be up. Those are blocked out.  |  IP: Logged Darren Crimmins Expert Film Handler Posts: 130 From: Dallas, TX, USA Registered: Jan 2002 posted 03-20-2003 05:28 PM                     Andrew, you lucky bastard! Getting Thursday, Friday and Saturday off, you get the party days off! If I could get the hours I needed I would like to take those days off too. I generally have Sundays and Mondays off.  |  IP: Logged Scott D.

I deserve it for so many years of being at the end of that electronic leash that went off all the time because somebody didn't know how to change their printer paper 120 miles away from me or because they didn't know how to fix their projector and Aaron Sisemore was drunk playin' horseshoes at the DM's house. Although I do leave and return home from some audits on weekends... lotsa fun. Anyway -- rambling again -- to myself I suppose.  |  IP: Logged Manny Knowles "What are these things and WHY are they BLUE???" Posts: 4247 From: Bloomington, IN, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 03-20-2003 08:26 PM                     I'm always on call. I work Monday - Thursday mornings (about 10am to 2pm) doing inspections and maintenance. Sometimes I get special assignments (like the current wave of upgrades) where my hours are different. Or, maybe, when I have to travel to a remote location. But, still, I will probably be the last one here complaining about days off.  |  IP: Logged Nicholas Roznovsky Expert Film Handler Posts: 156 From: College Station, TX, USA Registered: Apr 2001 posted 03-20-2003 09:09 PM                        Our company's policy during the school year is for managers to get Wednesdays and every other Sunday off. During the summer, that changes to every Tuesday and non-release Wednesday off.  |  IP: Logged Sean M.

Mondays were allways for bookings... Tuesdays were for changes.. Thursdays - well to makes sure that prints were previewed and inventory was right, and that Fridays were without a single hitch.... The weekends are a time that a G.M. should be on the floor making sure that the patrons are satisfied, the shows should be without a hitch, the staff should be well backed up... christ I miss those days....  |  IP: Logged Josh Kirkhart Expert Film Handler Posts: 165 From: Austin/Houston, TX, USA Registered: Nov 2001 posted 03-21-2003 06:14 AM                     tuesday and fri.  |  IP: Logged German Marin Expert Film Handler Posts: 227 From: Verbania (VB), Italy Registered: Jul 2001 posted 03-21-2003 07:10 AM                     When I was a projectionist: only one day a week, any day except tuesday and wednesday 'cause those days come the release prints. Now my days off: saturday and sunday (but I have to go to the booths emergencies).  |  IP: Logged
