Springtime for the Mad Hatter

I've been absent for a few weeks on this blog so for those of you who dip in to take a read I apologise.

It's been an interesting and entertaining few weeks in cinema land. Following a very public fracas over 'Alice In Wonderland' all the major exhibitors have bent over to Disney's demands and decided that actually it would be a good idea to play the film. My company fed us some nonsense over a mutually beneficial acceptable commercial agreement being reached with Disney. What actually happened is that the investors stepped in and ordered them to settle as we were going to potentially lose out on a lot of money. My colleagues and I have become so used to our senior management lying to us that we don't believe anything they say anymore.

In other news I've had a variety of people issues crop at work including a Senior Projectionist trying to pretend his back hurts so he can't come to work. I pursued him through his GP and have gotten his permission to gain full access to his medical reports as I know he's a lying son of a bitch. The same projectionist has also led one of the younger projectionist's astray and managed to get the younger one suspended for potential gross misconduct. I'll be dealing with that kettle of very smelly fish later on today.

To make things more interesting I also recently had a Team Member come and inform me that she'd just had an abortion and if she felt a bit dizzy we weren't to worry as it was perfectly normal. We had to call an ambulance for her later on that day as she'd passed out. I then found out that it was another Team Member who had managed to get her pregnant in the first place. Kid's these days. Do any of them know what a condom is for fuck's sake?

At least Cameron didn't win an Oscar for Avatard. Possibly the most over hyped film I have ever seen. Watching it felt like having sex with a beautiful person and then finding out they're crap in bed.

Anyway, off to work and see if I have a new boss yet.
