I work at as an assistant at a theater and I am still pretty steamed about how my day went and most of my problems resolved around the heater units. Being how it is snowing in my neck of the woods you would think heaters are important but when we opened up two of the three theaters were freezing well after repeated attempts to warm up the theater I had to go to the roof to manualy reset the heaters then it was when I discoverd the true crapieness of my situation because of the 8 units on the room only 2 were working and 3 were blowing cold air and three were not working whatsoever and when I call my manager for advice I am told that we will have to wait till monday becuase the service we use would charge us well over $1000 just to come in on a weekend not that it would do any good because for the last five years these units should have been replaced and the units being fixed really only means that we have a week before they break again yet to replace the units is not an option until absolutly nothing can be done regardless of the fact that over the years the amount of money spent on these temporary fixes probably cost double getting new units that are not 20 to 40 years old. well thats the end of my Rant so does this make any sense to you guys? :headbang: :headbang: :mad:

makes some sense. sounds sucky.

Sounds like you need to get drunk. *nods*

Sounds like you should contact the owner of the theater and explain to him/her/them the problem. They should be much more intersted in replacing the heaters rather than fixing ones that will continue to break.

Well, yes it makes sense, but do you think you could use more punctuation. I mean, there's only actually 3 sentences there....oh wait...did I get the wrong end of the stick again?
That does sound a bit crap, yet, in a way, typical. Next time you're sent up to the roof, take a hammer, bust the units beyond repair, and then you'll get some new ones :D

It does make sense. It's the principle of capitalism.
Same things happen to everybody all the time.
And no, talking to the boss won't help at all.
If you do, you'll be the troublemaker.
Bosses are never interested in solving problems.
They are only interested in holding the scapegoat responsible for their own
fault. Sorry, nothing can be done about this.
:(

Um, no its not.

Um, no its not.
Seconded

guess what my manager called home office and they won't pay for the service we used to use because they are to expencive so we can't get the units fixed until we can find the cheapest people to do it
