Rant About HP
DISCLAIMER: I do not hate Harry Potter. I am a huge fan of the books (maybe not so much of the movies) and am looking very much forward to the release of the seventh book next week. This is more the frustrated movie worker in me than anything else. Also, there are no spoilers for the actual movie, just the book.
Dear Manager,
You suck. If you need more employees to work because of Harry freakin' Potter, then you assign them to work the closing shift for the midnight showing (where they let you go after one in the morning), or the opening shift (that starts at 8:45 AM) the next day. NOT BOTH. This will only prove to piss off and be very unhealthy for your employees, when they get less than five hours of sleep because of Harry freakin' Potter.
Also, the employee doesn't appreciate it when you seem to have been so careful about everyone else's schedules, giving them the closing shifts on Wednesday, or the opening shift on Tuesday, because she seems to be the only one who has this little problem, and the rest of the staff is just fine.
No love,
Me.
Dear Other Manager,
When said employee confides in you that she has to be at the ridiculously early opening the next morning, YOU DON'T TELL HER TO CLEAN BOX OFFICE, which rarely ever gets done, and really didn't need to be done right then, when there was plenty of stuff that needed to be cleaned in concession. I'm glad you're moving to Arizona.
No love,
Me.
Dear Fans,
WHAT'S THE BIG DEAL?!?!? The Harry Potter movies aren't that great compared to the books, and The Order of the Phoenix is definitely not the highlight of the series. Why did you need to force the theater to open two more showings after midnight in order to accommodate you all. If you don't see the movie exactly at midnight, I don't think you'll be missing much. Book Five is chock full of emo!Harry whining about how everyone hates him, and has the worst ending ever. Movie Five is not going to be much better, especially since the movies, as I said, aren't that wonderful. Go home and get some freakin' sleep.
No love,
Me.
You may be asking, why, if I have to be up so early in the morning, am I sitting on LJ at two AM writing all this out, and I respond to that with--
It's too freakin' hot to sleep. And it sucks.
