That's an... interesting way of handling scheduling.

There's a new manager in my department.

His name is Ken Slaughter.

He's an Air Force veteran.

His last rank is Sergeant.

Well, back to the on-two-weeks-off-two-weeks contract I've had going for the past couple of months.

We've reached crunch time, which means I get to deal with my absolute favorite type of boss neurosis, being constantly interrupted and told to drop everything and focus on some new emergency so that he can come back an hour later and ask me why I haven't finished the thing he told me to stop doing.

He actually told me to pick up the pace while we were walking down the hall.  As if my walking speed was going to make any detectable difference in whether we meet his deadline.

Fortunately he seemed to calm down a bit today, as the other temp and I caught up on the backlog and basically hit the usual status quo of "I can't copy files that haven't been uploaded to the server yet."

But the other thing is that while I was out they rearranged the furniture, and instead of having the laptops arranged in a circle around a room they're now sitting on three levels of shelves with no KVM, so I have to keep moving up and down.  So yesterday I spent a nine-and-a-half-hour work day basically doing squats all day and Jesus Christ I can feel it today.

Well, it beats unemployment.  In fact, I will be making nearly EIGHTY-TWO DOLLARS MORE this week than if I had just stayed home and collected unemployment.

Well, minus the $38 I wouldn't have spent gasing up my car.

Got an invite to the job fair for a new Whole Foods store opening.  They're supposed to be insanely good to work for apparently!  And hell if nothing comes out of it, then worst case scenario is I remain at the job that I'm enjoying right now.  Win/win.

The only downside I've heard to it is that whole foods is not up on those "unions".
Everything else I've heard implies this isn't particularly a problem?

Well, as long as you're not fat.  Your pay scale is tied to your BMI.

Do you understand how terrifying the words “vibrating strap on” are for an asexual? That’s like saying “the holocaust” to a Jew.

Then pray you don't work in the bakery.

Speaking of which, I actually dropped by to pick up my pay stub yesterday. I forgot that they were having a food safety inspection when I walked into the food preparation area in my street clothes.

Oh man I would make a billion dollars an hour there.

Anyway, I finally got some interviews for new jobs, and as it happens, the store I wanted to work at not only has a manager that loves me, but just cleared house and is hiring management. Assistant Managers there get guaranteed 30+ hours weeks and full medical / dental / optical.

My second interview for the position is with the district manager on Tuesday.

In the meantime I finally put in notice at my current job, and they seem to have decided if they can't have me no one will. I normally work one weeknight and a double every Saturday. This weekend I worked four to close through the second busiest night of the year during which we had a ninety head party where over a hundred people showed up on Friday. Today was opening to closing, with a moderately sized party during the day. Tomorrow is open to close and we're the only restaurant doing anything for Mother's Day.

At least I don't have to be conscious at all on Monday.

Oh man, what a rough long work-related day! The universe literally tried to beat me to a bloody pulp every which way imaginable but I dodged every bullet with skill and finesse. A display of professionalism even I can't deny and I usually don't impress myself that often because I'm not some cocky-douche. Ah, but sometimes I'm a douchey-cock! (But aren't we all sometimes? Yes, yes we are!)

Annnnd I got it.  Part time to start, which means I can also keep my current job, and as far as I know part time still gets you benefits and paid time off down the line.  I'm pretty happy.

Oh by the way guys, I start back at the theatre on Friday. I'm a projectionist again! Also this is the first job I've ever gotten simply because I'm bored out of my tits because I haven't done anything in so long.

Never. The idea is kinda stupid, also I don't actually know how anyone would go about getting 35 MM frames of porn. I'm pretty sure almost all porn now a days is made digitally.

No. Anyone who thinks digital projecting is going to be anything but a very large very profitable theatre thing forever, has no idea how the industry works.

I don't think Büge was seriously suggesting that you splice in frames from a porn into various G rated features
