Well Christmas is over and we have been busy non-stop. There have been packed movies all week. Christmas day was a mess, the rest of the week wasn't much better. There have been more than more than 3000 people a day.
Problems, not very many. This is a nice break. There were a few loud people last night but no one to throw out. Most people have been nice and patient dealing with the lines. All the employees have busted their butts to work as hard as possible.
To be honest, I think this much work is hard on a person. You never get a break. There is no time to insure people are enjoying their movies and closing is taking forever.
Until next time.....

Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas to all. It has been a crazy weekend. New movies like I Am Legend, National Treasure 2, Alvin & the Chipmunks have been keeping us on our toes. It was so busy with families that we didn't have too many problems. The usual stuff, (feet on seats, cell phones on), occurred. Yet it seemed to be and endless amount of cheerful folks. I enjoyed greeting about 4,000 of them. Time flew by and it was smooth sailing.
For Christmas, we are getting new movies. Starting Christmas Day are: Aliens vs. Predator 2, Waterhorse, and Great Debaters. Hope to see you there.
May all of you have a great Christmas and New Years. Don't forget about those not here with us, families out of town, soldiers far away, loved ones in hospitals, etc. Until next time....See ya at the movies!

Let is snow
So, remember I'm in a Midwest town, it's snowed and iced all day. People are crazy. I know, its hard to believe, but true. There was an inch of ice on the roads, snow falling in large flakes, and really cold wind. Did this keep people indoors? Hell no!!!! They all came out. I think when there are weather alerts on the radio or television; people think it's the time to go out. All you can do is shake your head in amazement. It took about 30 minutes to scrape off the inch of ice from my car. I was freezing too. I hope tomorrow isn't the same way. I don't want to work if it is. Hope everyone is safe and warm.

I Am Manager!
Wow is the only word that can describe this night. We were so busy that it was impossible to keep up. People were coming in to see Alvin and the Chipmunks and I Am Legend. There were sold out shows and popcorn everywhere. We were understaffed for all the business, yet, we made it through.
Of course, we had our problems too. I worked upstairs running the projectors. I watched through the portal most of the time. Things looked good until I went downstairs to help close. One of the managers was watching a movie and she told some girls to sit down and not talk so loudly. They got crappy with her and she told them that she was a manager and they needed to quite down. Of course they weren't even watching that movie, they bought tickets to something else, they were just talking to some guy in there. They left and then came back with about 5 males. They tried to sit by the manager and talk of beating her up was heard. The floor manager for the night was notified and kicked the girls out. The police officer insured that they left the building.
Then there were these 2 boys left in the lobby. They came with their cousin. They didn't have a clue on what movie their cousin was in. They were in the lobby for about an hour when the police asked them why they were just hanging out. They said they couldn't find their cousin and did know what to do. Then about half an hour later, some woman calls and asked if we found 2 missing boys. I told her yes, they were in the lobby with the police and was she going to pick them up. Her reply was classic. She said, "I can get them after midnight if no one shows up." That would be in about 35 to 40 minutes more. Finally, the cousin came out of the theater looking for the boys, now its been 1hour 50 minutes. Then he had the nerve to ask the boys to stay where they were so he could finish watching his movie. The police officer told him that we weren't babysitters and he would have to take his cousins home. He left with the boys and missed the end of his movie. What a shame? NOT!

Get a room, please!
What is it about the theater that makes people want to get physical? Tonight we had a very amorous couple. It's not the first time, we think the family bathroom was "broken in" by a couple. I've had to throw water on teens on some weekends. Not really but I wish. So tonight's couple took their action to the parking lot. I had a person come in and tell me that they were in a Jeep, back windows cracked, at least one foot in the air, and it was rockin'.
Now if I remember correctly, this couple would be on the older side of the spectrum. Interesting..... So then I thought about going outside and breaking it up, but then I was too tired to deal with them. I suddenly remembered the male employee I was working with could do it for me. What a brilliant idea. Then reality hit me like a sour fart. I was working with "bonerman" (described in a former post)! I laughed until I peed my pants sharing my idea with everyone else. Heck, the way I figured it, he'd be outside watching for at least 15 minutes before telling them to stop. I couldn't stand the thought of it.
Other than that, things have been going well. Christmas break for the kids is coming up. That will give me more stories to tell. I'm looking forward to seeing more movies soon. I've already seen all of the shows playing now. Until next time.....
