lumy12Last Sunday, September 14, I had a dream about this guy Tyler that I used to mess around with. I had a mad crush on him, but he had a girlfriend (yes, this was a pattern with me). I haven't seen or talked to him in years.
Well, today, I was reading the newspaper and there was this special section on Harkins Theatres' 75th anniversary. Harkins is not the chain that I worked for, incidentally. They are the competition. And yes, over the years they've kicked my theatre's ass, because they're better at basically everything. But I digress. A lot of people from my theatre quit to go work for Harkins. I don't remember when and how Tyler left, but that's where he ended up, and now he's a big shot.
Tearing tickets in the early 90s? That was before he came to my theatre, though it might have been at a different location. He came to us as an assistant manager. Which isn't as glamorous as the title would suggest, btw; I was one for years as well. The pay was shit. Except at Harkins, which is one reason people migrated there.
Kinda weird seeing my old crush in the newspaper.
Anyway. Just had to record that for posterity. "I think I have ESPN or something." When I went back and looked at that dream (I've been logging them recently), I found that it also contained![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
jedi_em asking me for Advil, which I happily gave to her. (?) On Wednesday last week a coworker of mine asked if I had any -- I had completely forgotten about that 'til I just looked at the dream. It's not like I dole out ibuprofin regularly, either. It's pretty rare. Could be just a coincidence, though, of course. Hmmmm.

I don't remember most of my dreams EXCEPT for a few minutes after I wake up, which is why I'm trying to record them immediately before they vanish!

Date: 2008-09-21 06:33 pm (UTC)Preach it, sistah! Back at Regal in 1998, I was getting paid a whopping $6.00/hr as an assistant manager...which was basically a glorified shift supervisor position, really.

Date: 2008-09-21 06:37 pm (UTC)I worked for United Artists, which eventually got bought by Regal and that's when I decided to leave (it was a part-time 2nd job for me for a loooooooooong time... but I got to where I was only working one or two days a month).
I remember my starting wage in 1991 was $4.45 an hour. I was all happy cuz it was 20 cents more than minimum wage. Hee!

that's weird how in AZ you guys always have stuff i've neverheard of. our movies were always R/C, AMC or Loewe's. i had to start going late to Loewe's cuz the jingle was stuck in my head for like 2 years straight.
