Duty tonight: wasn't fun, wasn't that bad, kind of lukewarm. 2AM rounds SUCK. But they were quiet.
Anyhow, link for today is to a friend's LiveJournal. Jess has been explaining what it's like to work on a roller coaster. It's fascinating stuff; easy and fun to read. Well written, obviously. Her third installment is up today, but read through the earlier ones to get the full backstory.
It's inspired me to start collecting thoughts about what it's like to work in a movie theater, from every perspective (I've been "lucky" to have such experiences) from the ushers (avoiding work at all costs while wondering aimlessly through the lobby and watching movies) to concessionist ("No, I don't set the prices...yes, $9 is a lot for a small popcorn") to Box office ("I'm sorry, but the movie is SOLD OUT") to projectionist (over the walkie talkie "Wasn't that movie supposed to start 10 minutes ago?") to my apogee, manager ("If I give you a free pass, then will you shut the %$#@ up?"). Look for that in coming days.
I'm tired now. Class at 10am. 6 hours sleep about. sigh...tech week begins sunday. argh.
