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. Yeah baby...

Congratulations!

Which theatre? They're luck to have you.

Ya know Madamn Moderator, I'm getting sick and tired of you kicking my ass at arm-wrestling! Even when we go tattoo arm to tattoo arm! HA!

I've been working out so the next time, I'm gonna kick your butt! [Razz]

Congrats Rach! [beer]

Congratulations Rachel!

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.....

Can we agree that it's completely absurd that someone who cares as much about the theater business as Rachel and who is also an excellent communicator with great writing skills (relatively rare these days), has to make less in the theater business than working at McDonald's?

Glad you are back

I agree with Scott. They're luck to have you!

(Sorry Scott, had to be done. [Razz]

)

Which theater???

Congrats too. Actually I am also getting back into business in April. I think this was mentioned elsewhere.

Scott, you're always so worried about how you write things. You silly boy.

Fresh Pond in Cambridge, MA. It WAS a Loews but now its Entertainment Cinemas.

Sweet, Rachel! [Cool]

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. [Wink]

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!!

John - it'll never leave you as long as you have a daughter named after about 5,000 movie theatres! [Wink]

Hi Mike, That's right! Including the name of your theatre!!!

Posted by Monte L Fullmer (Member # 2797) on 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...)

Same here... started as a kid and I am still in.

What Scott said.

Good for you, Rachel! I know working in a theatre will agree with you so much more. It's in your blood! [Smile]

Have fun, and good luck! Go show 'em how it's done. [thumbsup]
