it always baffles me that, when handing out headsets for the hearing/visually impaired, 9 times out of 10, if the headset isn’t working, that person will not come back out and tell us it’s not doing what it’s supposed to be doing so we can fix it so they can see the movie. (even if it’s like, hey, it wasn’t on/volume was on low for the...elderly tech-impaired as well)

please, let us help you, the headsets are there for a reason and if they’re not working we can probably fix or give you a new one, i promise

#today they came out spittle flying that it was #1. too loud (hey! volume control is right here)#2. someone forgot to check the setting so it was for the visually impaired not the hearing #and i had to be like hey next time TELL US BEFORE YOUR MOVIE IS OVER #also why do i have to explain to you that there are multiple settings and it was just on the wrong one #workstuffs #most of the time it's the very elderly #and i just do not understand

At a leadership conference with a coworker! #refreshleadership #workstuffs

I do like my job but one thing I absolutely despise are the kinds of nerds that are very judge-jury-executioner on the right way to nerd and what’s good to nerd about coming out of the woodwork. Just last night after a whole exhausting day of training a new guy the new guy says, in response to me saying I prefer Star Trek over Star Wars, that Trek is dead and no one likes it anymore.

I don’t even care like, what particular fandom/thing I would’ve said, it doesn’t matter--what a fucking cruel thing to say. (and about star trek, arguably one of the largest and oldest modern fandoms alive)

On the flipside, when Rogue One came out and I was serving customers, I had a customer ask me if I liked it and I answered honestly “Not really, I like Trek a lot more” and he earnestly beamed at me and said “Oh! I’m so sorry that so many Star Wars fans are jerks to you about Trek!” without me even saying that was real and I responded to him in kind, for Trek fans who are mean to star wars fans, and I haven’t forgotten that kind customer since

TODAY i was working box office, and two middle aged men walk up and ask for tickets to the "space one" so i said "alien, or guardians?" and they initially said alien but then they were like "well, what do YOU recommend"

if you've been around me for more than 10 minutes in the proximity of a movie, you will realize this is my Moment

so i give an honest and calculated opinion on alien covenant vs guardians of the galaxy 2. suddenly both the men get huge smiles on their faces. they decide on guardians instead.

one asks "are you a film-maker?" to which i reply "no, but I write stories a lot and i like short stories like what you see in movies, so i'm invested in story arcs and structure. i also am an artist, an illustrator, so i look at the visual aspects a lot too."

the other one says "you are the coolest person working at a movie theatre i've ever met. i wish you good luck in your projects."

the first one leans forward and half-whispers while pointing to his friend "he's an artist", and they walk to get concessions. i pop in one last time and reiterate that i love to hate things (alien covenant was awful), but i prefer to like things, y'know? they laughed heartily.

it was a good day for a morning that started out weird and annoying.

ya so like

my shoulders in a brace and it fucking hurts, think i pulled a muscle but don’t know how

verge of tears from pain even tho ibuprofen + forced to work backline at arbys

then i’m forecd to do heavy lifting with my bad arm which ends up with me crying full tears hunched over cradling my arm ebcause the new manager is a fucking piece of shit and did nothing when i asked her to help me with said heavy lifting and even though she had half of it she still had me lift on my bad arm especially and then condescendingly said “well you should’ve called out” when we’ve been having trouble with absent workers recently anyways and i’m not that fucking kind of person

i have a high pain tolerance and i was on ibuprofen and i was crouched to the floor crying and cradling my arm

only two coworkers showed any kind of sympathy and tried to lessen my pain and do things for me

fuck arbys
