Like 2 weeks ago I sort of got a promotion at work.

At the movie theatre, went from working the floor shifts to working projection. We had like 4 days or so training for it, and today was my first real projection shift.

In a month or so, I'll be bumped up completely... now I'm the guy who starts the movies.

Great opportunity.

If I want yeah, there is a lot of downtime...

You thread (prepare the movies, running the film through the projector), then you start the movies, then you do almost nothing for 2 hours, then repeat.

I can watch the movies through the booth window yeah.

@VB:
Gonna bring home some homemade cam's.

hell yea

**twisterX** · 10-29-2005, 05:56 AM

how much you get payed.

**Rip The Jacker** · 10-29-2005, 05:59 AM

Once it's official, I think it's a 25 cent raise... Not much really...

But the projectionists get longer shifts, and killer overtime. On Thurs. nights they build up movies, then screen them. When you screen movies, you watch them the night before, to make sure the print isn't scratched or anything, and they PAY you to watch the movie a day before.
