Those of you who know me personally are aware that I have worked at the same movie theatre for over nine years. Considering that I am only 24, that is quite a long time (28% of my life to be exact). Because I recently graduated, am relocating to Madison and recently received a demotion (a large corporation with a different management structure bought us out), I decided to look elsewhere for employment.
Leaving is a bittersweet feeling. While I know that I am on to bigger and better things (I recently got hired by a hip mom-and pop shop in Madison's premiere shopping district), many of the people at the theatre are like my family, and the theatre was part of my life during some of my most formative years. Those free movies were great, too. However, I will hopefully never have to work a Christmas again in my life, or have a 17 year old give me an attitude about how he didn't bring his ID for an R-rated movie, or have to clean up a child's vomit that doesn't look any different than the slushie he just drank. Change always feels a little strange, but I am embracing the positive aspects of my uncertainty.
