  • I wasn't even supposed to be here today!

    I have a week off. It is annual leave.

    There are 5 projectionists:
    me
    W
    L who lives two hours away
    D who has been off sick for a couple of months with a bad back
    and C

    C was supposed to be working tonight, but he called in sick. W works at local theatre/second-run cinema and was working tonight.

    So I was called in.

    Things go okay till the end of the night, when there is a fire drill scheduled for the end of the night. Which caught me completely by suprise. So I set off the fire alarm, but forgot to call the fire brigade to tell them we were having a drill.

    Fortunately the fire brigade call to check that it is not a false alarm and the GM was sitting by a phone.

    I went up to apologise to the GM. I explained that I wasn't expectiong the fire drill (even though it is on the notice board) and so made the mistake. I add the immortal words, "I wasn't even supposed to be here today."

    You would be appalled at how often I have to say those same words.

        I don't say them as often and I will mutter to myself "This job would be great is it wasn't for all the fucking customers"
