Re: More Good Things
Literally more good stuff from the movie theater...
Got a pay raise on my last check...and not just a little one, either. They increased my pay by 20%. Granted, it's not like I'm getting paid a phenomenal amount to start with...but this actually makes this the second-highest hourly wage I remember earning (for regular work...if you count the occasional event that I've worked as a makeup artist, it become the fourth or fifth highest wage, but those were one-night affairs and not on-going positions. And, actually, since the highest hourly wage I recall earning was a short-term scenic art job, I guess it should also be disqualified in that regard).
AND--I was saddened by the death of my DVD player a couple of weeks ago, but I finally got paid for my design job and bought a Blu-Ray player to replace it. Problem is, my TV is old enough that it doesn't have HDMI inputs, and the BD player ONLY had HDMI outputs. So, what did I do?
Asked my boss if I could trade my brand-new Blu-Ray player for the old one at the theater (which was old enough to have standard AV outputs, as well as HDMI). So, I am once again able to enjoy my movie collection. (My only complaint is, this player doesn't have a repeat-play function on it. That's probably for the best, however, as I killed the DVD player prematurely with my tendency to put a disc on repeat and just leave it going for days or even weeks at a time, turning the TV on for background noise. No longer an option!)
