Summers Ending

And so are the kids shows...finally. OMG finally. Two schools in one theaters equals messy floors. I sooo am not going to miss cleaning those floors. I ended up buying a leaf blower to help me out with that stuff.

Magic Mike Mania

Yeah I really don't want this movie anywhere near my theater. I already have seen in the past week our advanced tickets being sold...and several lady's...and some men trying to give sexual favors for free tickets. That shit pisses me off cause guess who they're asking? Yeah...my husband. I love how he tells them to fuck off though. He points at me, and normally they end up asking me cause for the summer I've been his secretary. They try to book an appointment with me...I look at Officer Moss (Our security guard) 'Escort this chick out...and if she's under the age of 18..call her mom/dad/' Its sooooo funny to see the look on there faces. Serves them right.

Here goes the Bonkersness

Okay last night while I was playing security two weirdness happened to help the scared employees after what happened in Colorado...our theater is in Kentucky so it didn't happen to us. Although it has got several people on edge...not only that but its also killed our numbers for the Dark Knight Rises movie.

First off our eldest employee who is a sweet heart but has a thing against babies...says they're ugly lol.

Hey decided to take a plastic squishy ball and make it into a hat...mind you it was place onto two other peoples heads but they didn't want there pictures taken so I didn't.

So after all the guests had left and people were cleaning concession. One of the kids from concession brought out two squirt guns and a box. Well Brent decided to one up the wig and make the 'tank' It looked pretty good actually lol

Sorry about the quality...it sucks...but it was still funny when one of the other employees walked in and got squirted lol.

Large bag of Money...

I mean that...my husband had ordered some money bags. He was expecting the usual size which is about the size of your forearm...but this is ridiculous lol. Brent doesn't get that much money in a day being only a 4 screen theater. We're one of the smaller theaters...so we get maybe Three Thousand dollars a day. But of course Brent being the way he is...he tends to make the best of these things. He took one of the bags and along the writen side it says 'Said to contain...' and he wrote Magic. The put a $100 dollar bill inside and closed it up. We had little races in the lobby in between movies.

All of which ended in a bloody nose, skinned or bruised knees. So we stopped and just went back to business as usual.

Friday the 13th

Or more commonly known here as 20$ tattoo day. The majority of the staff wants the day off...what for...a tiny tattoo?! Now I understand one of them wants the day off cause he's helping out in the shop. Its his other job. But the others...not so much. So Brent had to put his foot down and gave everyone half days instead of full days. At least they got time to get there tattoos. Two of which came to work with piercings on the belly button and ears. Which I'm not complaining about since my ears are gadged to a 14g. Which I believe to be the fun size cause I can also put belly button rings into my ears too.

So there was a huge pow wow inside the theater when everyone was finished so they could compare. One of the employees was to young to get the tattoo and piercing she wanted (She wanted her nipples pierced!!) WTF she's only 16 why why whywhywhy!! Thats just to young to decide on something your going to be stuck with for the rest of your life. I've had mine now for 11 years and I'm still loving it.

Did I mention that while they are doing this they are also distracting those on shift and its the day Ice Age 4 comes out? So while there are kids from camps/schools/vocational bible schools all in the lobby waiting to go see this movie and they're showing off everything...lifting up shirts, pant legs, one even got a bar code on the back of the neck...which I think was cool in my opinion but meh.

Then comes the derp part. Brent and I were about to have to leave to go to another theater to pick up stuff that they didn't put in the last shipment when the new shipment came in...so now that these girls are here showing off there tattoos...there are huge boxes in the lobby where there are a fuck ton of kids. Yeah...talk about speed putting away before another kid has a nacho box fall on him and  the mom complains about it...threatening to sue over a 2lb bag could have killed her 8 year old son...lol...yeah like that would have stood up in court.

Yeah its a Rocky Horror...

Brent was planning on giving his employees a treat for selling all the Spider Man cups before the movie left theateres. They did it in a quarter of the time it took for everyone else in the state to do it. So Brent is not only going to be showing the movie but he decided to ask permission for a 12am showing for the whole town (Our town is soooo small.)

So when he got an answer back it was a big 'fuck no' and a 'we won't be responsible for any damages, if you would like to show the movie you would have to pay for any damages done to the property)

Apparently this movie was shown here before and it didn't go down to well with everyone so things got broke, people got into fights there was even an attempted rape. So yeah Brents answer was an even bigger 'fuck no' so yeah only a small showing for his underlings...pity.

Expected to Do???

My husband Brent has been working for his theater for close to three years now. Just last January he got his own theater to manage...oddly enough...its a little more exciting if you ask me.

Have you ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes of a theater? When the doors are closed, and your to busy munching on Popcorn, slurping your cokes, or watching the movies you been waiting to see for months...then this is the place to find out.

Let me tell you its not all grit and glamor. Sometimes its boring as hell, other times its funny as shit. But most of the time...its a bit of fury.

For example. Two of the employees are always at each others necks...They don't want to fight each other, they just argue a lot. Now heres the secret...Brent does it on purpose. It sells stuff. People stick around long enough to listen to there playful banter and on some occasions its about the same thing over and over again. They fight over costumers, fix each others food to see whose faster.

There are some people whom I wish wasn't there (And if I'm lucky in two weeks he won't be. No he's not being fired he's transferring colleges.) He thinks he's never wrong...at all. If he does something wrong obviously its someone elses fault. He hasn't tried to point that stubby little finger at me yet...he would have gotten a piece of my mind thankyouverymuch. But a few days ago another employee...whom I wouldn't have placed in this sort of position cause I didn't think she would actually do it. She got so mad at him that she went off on him. Yelling at him for not doing his job. Going off and hiding when he was suppose to be helping her behind the store. (Concession) He would be fake cleaning something (Fake cleaning I mean he'll clean something three times in a row. He'll look at costumers and say 'oh she'll get you over there' even though she's got a line from hell. He won't do it when I'm out there oh no I carry a knife in my pocket and he's afraid Imma use it on him...the little prick.

There is this sweet young lady there that really needs to keep her bangs out of her face. She's got really nice eyes she doesn't need to hide them. She's got a fascination with lizards, and loves stuffed animals. She puts so much money into the crane machine, and has only got a stuffed animal once. Brent got her and a few of the other chicks little things inside it. I think its cute. But this one girl has a biiiiiig problem. She has a thing...about poop. I'm not joking. She'll be laughing and talking about something totally childish and the stop...make a face and run. 'I gotta poop' and then she gets scared by a bit of thunder and then laugh so hard 'I almost pooped' She'll mess up on her order and yell 'well poop' and then continue on. so yeah...poop

Then there is the red head. I'm not to sure about him yet (If you haven't noticed I'm not naming anyone.)He's got this huge thing about his Irish heritage, and loves movies and music. Meh...thats pretty much all about him except his inability to take me seriously when I tell him I could kick his ass faster then he even knew what happened. He's nice...he just doesn't take me seriously.

The staff leader...I like her enough she just doesn't take her job seriously enough for my tastes. Yes I understand she's in college and she isn't looking for a fulltime position. Thats not my fault, but she needs to put more effort into her work and stop inviting her friends over to the theater to hang out while she's working. Although I'm glad that she brings her school work to work and does it on her off time. but it also seems to be the only time her friends don't bother her. The other day we had to take a load off the truck and she ran around the concession to clock out as fast as she could because she didn't want to help. I don't even work there and neither did her friend but we helped anyways. Hell I carried 50lb bags of popcorn seed to the back. 26 of these bags...shit thats a lot of weight. My arms hurt for a week thankyouverymuch. Brent told her to clock back in. She looked like she wanted to throw a fit.

The girl with the piercings. I soooo feel for this chickie. She's got a tongue, and gum piercing done. Plus has seven tattoos...one of which was got in memory of a child she lost. The guy who knocked her up demanded that she get rid of it...she didn't want to. Obviously she didn't have to...poor thing miscarried. I couldn't have imagined going through that with my two.

The two newbe's. I don't know either of them to well yet, but I do know the girl is a mom and married and is under the age of OMG your legal...and the guy looks like the 10th Doctor from Doctor Who...yeah...no joke.

Now onto the Assistant Manager. She's got a temper, she keeps it in check when I'm around, but I've heard horror stories said by her about her drinking and curiosity with explosives...at the same time.

Then theres the Manager...he doesn't smile to much or at least you don't notice that he smiles a lot because his muscles in his cheek bones don't let him smile big. None of his employees get to see it to often because of that...but he and I have been married for nine years now and we still adore each other, and he's given me two wonderful kids. Zoe is a 6 year old fireball who won't stop at anything to tell you whats on her mind, She's just left Kindergarten. Cody our youngest who is 18 months old...is the size of a 2 and half year old. Brent...adores his kids. I never seen my dad look the way he does when he plays with his kids. He actually gets down on the floor and lets them play around him.

Me...I will invade the theater and stand off to the side near the office and watch the runners run back and forth between theaters, concession, the popper, grabbing stuff from the closets, or tearing tickets. I've coached them on how to do anything about there sells. I dare them to get more money then I have all day that I've got with one sell. I dare them...So there...
