Its been eight years today since I first entered the world of cinema. What a coincidence that a few months later I was working there & today my old manager from that cinema rings, just asking how I am, kinda freaky really.

Many pleasant memories, many stressful nights spent there. It was one place I felt fully welcome. I remember the smell of an empty screen, the taste of popcorn within the air. The thursday advert change procedures, the friday showing for which the print would turn up just on time, or late. Having to run the first 20 minutes while preparing the rest of the film & then feeding it through in time so no spectator would ever need to know, ensuring each join was all in rack was also crucial. Those were the days. *sigh*
