As you know I worked in a movie theater for more years than I wish to mention here. So the concept of a "weekend" or "holiday" was foreign to me until a few months ago. In fact, I lost a lot of the love I had for holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas due to always working my ass off on those days. And for all you people that went to the theater on major holidays: I HOPE YOU ROT! That is what I have always wanted to scream in the middle of the lobby. People get so angry and then used to yell at me because it was busy! I'm sorry...I'm working instead of being with my family. See, I get angry just thinking about it.
Back to the point of this post. It's about to be a three day weekend and I am about to enjoy the hell out of it. :) It is an amazing feeling knowing that I get major holiday's off now. I swore to myself long ago though that if I ever got out of the theater that I would NEVER EVER go there on a holiday. If I do, it will be to simply say hey to my friends or bring them something nice while they work their butts off.
So next time you are enjoying your holiday and think about seeing a movie please think about the people that work in a place that is open 365 days a year and never get to have a holiday off.

Aw, I'm glad you have holidays off now! I'm going to the theatre tonight, but a holiday weekend Friday doesn't count, right?
No, I just meant the actual holiday day. Like Christmas Day, Labor Day, etc. Weekends are just part of it so I never really counted them. Although it will be a busier than usual weekend for them....suckers! :p
