>>51224I liked it better when I could post from the theater. In the film days, projectionists stayed upstairs in the booth for the full shift and you could wear whatever and they didn't really care if you had a laptop up there as long as all the projectors got threaded and started on time and you were on-site and available to quickly fix anything if it broke.
Once digital projectors came in, automation ran by itself with computer-timed scheduling and the distinctly separate semi-casual position of projectionist was eliminated, which meant you have to wear the uniform polo, and nobody else is allowed to browse the net while working so you can't anymore either, and it went from a relaxing cloistered job working with machinery into some kind of customer service deal where popcorn oil and cheese spills all over the floor.
