Funny... when I was an assistant manager, I thought being a projectionist was a fairly large step UP.  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 09-12-2008 12:02 AM                  Congrats Galen! I'm glad you found something you like. Keep in mind the constructive advice others have posted...including me in my own "special" way. You have learned one of life's valuable lessons. Never mind the naysayers. Keep a professional demeanor and your passion for the biz.

Bill's name had not (as far as I recall) been brought up by Galen previously. It just looked tacky and unnecessary.  |  IP: Logged Monte L Fullmer Film God Posts: 8367 From: Nampa, Idaho, USA Registered: Nov 2004 posted 09-12-2008 03:10 AM                     quote: Joe Redifer I thought being a projectionist was a fairly large step UP ..and where I began as a projectionist and working as such, there were times that some mgmt personnel would curse our positions to where they would cause chaos and havoc to drive the lot of us down below their levels. ...and that turned into war at times....and to this day, there is still a touch of friction against my position, but at least they know that nothing can be about it.  |  IP: Logged Tim Reed Better Projection Pays Posts: 5246 From: Northampton, PA Registered: Sep 1999 posted 09-12-2008 11:06 AM                       Gotcha, John.  |  IP: Logged Galen Murphy-Fahlgren Master Film Handler Posts: 405 From: Canton, MI, USA Registered: Oct 2007 posted 09-16-2008 03:01 PM                     quote: Joe Redifer Funny... when I was an assistant manager, I thought being a projectionist was a fairly large step UP. Yeah, but it is a manager run booth, and I retain pretty much all of my booth responsibilities from my old job as booth supervisor. I am not abandoning my passion for projection, just stepping up my game. Since there are so few people running booth, keeping on top of what is going on in booth is easy for the GM and myself. I think we have a pretty good working system that is only going to get better. The theater is in a state of change right now, and I'm very optimistic about what the end result will be. That said, I'm going to be roundly accused of being a kiss ass next time I work once my GM reads this, but that's the price I pay.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 09-16-2008 03:52 PM                        If you enjoy all/most aspects of your job, then that is what counts. Personally I didn't enjoy dealing with customers, staff and inventory. When I had to do it, I did my best and did it right, but the booth was the thing that stood out as "fun". Years from now when you remember working in a movie theater, the booth will come to mind first... then zany employees and then zany customers. Counting cups and dropping $$$ into the safe will be dead last. ZZZzzzz.  |  IP: Logged Scott Norwood Film God Posts: 8146 From: Boston, MA.
