Last night at work was my first Saturday evening at the movie theatre, my throat hurt, I had to practically shout because it was so loud, people kept replying to "Sorry, the seven o'clock/eight o'clock/nine o'clock/ten o'clock Pirates is sold out" with "Are you guys kidding me??," and a woman who wanted to see Knocked Up (which is rated 18A) got annoyed with me when I asked to see ID. I thought we lived in a culture where looking young is supposed to be everyone's ultimate goal, but APPARENTLY NOT. (My favourite part is that she was like, "I've never been carded before in my life! I'm almost twenty-one! I'm getting married!" (as if getting married automatically means you're over eighteen, hahaha, c'mon here, I'm a Disney princess fan, that means nothing to me) as if explaining all of this and hoping I would take her word for it was easier than just pulling out her driver's license or pointing to the obviously over-eighteen guy she turned out to be with and telling me she was with him.)
WELL ANYWAY. If that's the only customer to get annoyed with me so far, I guess I'm doing pretty well. :)
I did not mean to write a whole paragraph about the bad, hahaha, when I meant to make a post about the good! XD Such as this: last night we had a visit from a small group of pirates, including the famous Captain Jack Sparrow himself! :D I am going through unhealthy Disneyland withdrawal, haha, so it was so awesome to hear someone shout, "Hey, it's Captain Jack Sparrow!" and look up from my cash drawer and see him! XD His costume was very good, and people were pulling him out of the line in order to take pictures with him (haha pretty funny), but his acting was actually pretty terrible. XD;; He just shouted the whole time. So even though no one would mistake him for Johnny Depp, hahaha, it still totally made my evening just that I could watch him wandering the lobby for a good fifteen minutes. XD
( A touch of PotC3 spoilers. )
I love that my adoration for this new job depends so much on this being a Pirates and Harry Potter summer. XD I just hope it doesn't make me sick of them!! There's a Dead Man's Chest poster in the break room and to get there you have to step around the people in line for At World's End and of course the lobby is covered in Pirates and the only time I pay attention to the screens in the lobby that advertise upcoming movies is when I all of a sudden hear a snippet of "Hedwig's Theme." XD Oh, I love it so, it's a total fangirl job. XD And also, when there's no one in line I get to watch people playing DDR. Twice now I have come home from work with "Butterfly" stuck in my head. XD XD XD XD
But like I said, I seem to be getting a mild cold and also I am going through crazy Disneyland withdrawal, so life is not all good. XD hahahahaha!
