I forgot!!

I forgot . . .

I was also an usher for Cineplex Odeon Theatres in 1992. That was a great part time job. I got to see all the movies I wanted to see for free. I could also get free passes to movies for my friends. On the other hand, the uniforms we had to wear were humiliating (burgundy polyester blazers), and once I really embarrassed myself. All the new ushers were told that during the course of each movie, they had to do a "screen test" which involved going up to the big screen at the front of the theatre right in the middle of the movie, and putting your hand on the bottom right hand corner of the screen and feeling it to make sure it didn't get too hot. Needless to say, I only did this once. The audience yelled at me, and the screen itself was totally cool. Gosh, I was stupid!!

Hi Scott,
Now the list of your jobs are substantive. To be honest, I'm not sure if this word could be used in this context :)... but I tried.

We will,we will rock U!! said...

Oksana, it's really a nice try to use a new word immediately after learning, and I think that word is adequate in this case... hahahaha

Anyway, Mr. Scott. I really wanna steal some experience from you! You're such a good man!!
