| "Thank you for calling Regal Entertainment Group Saucon Valley 10, this is Megan speaking, how may I help you?"
::sigh::
My years at Regal are now over. As relieved as I am, I'm also feeling very empty inside. Who'da thunk?!? I've had a lot of great memories there and met alot of awesome people. Some of which are my best friends now. It was one of the hardest decisions i ever had to make but i hope it'll be worth it in the end.
Lets take an adventure back to the past:
My parents were harping on me to get a job. I'm only 17, and could careless. The moms and i were at Hallmark when she decided that I should try and apply at the theater. A tall skinny kid (Sean Quinn) was working box office; he greeted me and i asked for an application. A girl (Jenn Brown) and a boy (Matt Hoffert) were in the cafe hovered over a chess board (i believe hoffert and quinny were playing though). Quinny told me after i handed him my filled out application to call back in a few days and ask for Dennis.
I did so and Dennis hooked me up with an interview the next day. I became a Regal employee on the 24th of Oct *according to my old xanga entries* and started training on Oct 27th 2003 and Matt trained me on my first day along with Broughton. Amanda had also trained me as well and i can still remember that day. I remember her kicking the ice machine in the back to bring all the ice down and teaching me everything to know about concession and not retaining one bit of it because it was too much information.
My first day, i went up the elevator, dennis was building up a print on theater one and gretchen and chris malone were sitting there talking with him, but before all that, i went to come out of the elevator and this man with a ponytail scared the living shit out of me by jumping out at me. Come to find out a few minutes later that that was Jeff, my boss.
Years came and went and i met so many people. Some that will stay in my heart forever, and others that i'll remember but were just part of another "generation" that came and went.
Gretchen: You were the first to take me in. I remember my mom dropping me off and i was standing outside waiting for one of the managers to get there to let us in, and you told me i could sit in your car until they came. I remember my mom freaking because she didnt know who you were and you still had your TX license plate. I'm happy to say that after all these years we still keep in contact. The countless laughs we've had between myself you chuck and chris are amazing. We always knew how to have a great time. Ski-ler? which is like a skier lol
Christopher "Chocolat" Malone: Our musical obsessions will be something that will always keep us linked. I love making fun of people with you and i know that no matter what, we'll always remain friends. If it wasnt for regal, i wouldn't have met the amazing person that you are. I'll never forget the Love Lagoon, singing Phantom, and when we used to dare each other to talk to customers in accents. I still remember when you 'proposed' to me with a bracelet you made from a straw lol
Amanda: You're one of my best friends. You trained me. You complete me. Our story still continues and i love you.
Matthew: I'm gonna miss putting in a cd from a musical *particularly phantom* and belting them out with you. You were one of my first crushes there and you're one of my best guy friends. I can talk to you about anything and i love that about you. We'll still be kicking it at wolsky's...i have no worries about us.
Wolsky: I never thought me and you would ever be where we're at today. I sappily admitted to you that i consider you one of my best friends. I meant it. I'm glad we're as close as we are....you're my favorite buuuitchhh. But who am i gonna chain smoke with on a beautiful summers day? hahaha
Jeff: I never thought we'd be best friends. You're an asshole; I'm a bitch. It just works out i guess. I know i can count on you to make me laugh whenever something is wrong, even if its something that pisses me off. We'll be friends for a long time, i know it. You're the best. Just don't ever feel your nipples around me, it makes me uncomfortable hahaha jk
Charles May!!!: From the paper throwing, the full cups of water being knocked outta people hands, to the times hanging with gretchen & chris, and anytime at wolsky's, i know there'll be more times. You've finally touched my boobs so thats a goal i can check off haha. Soooo ummmm marry me and come home? OK? good glad we could come to an agreement.
And everyone else ive had a blast working with:
Courtney, Morgan, Krystal, Vinny, Jenn Turk, Marcelino, John Hemingway, John Hess, Chris Mautino, Brian E., Fuckin Geo, Nick, Skelly, Steve, Jess G, and anyone else i forgot i'm sorry
My mind is so jumbled right now that being able to think of that many amazes me.
Dont lose touch. I'll try my best to keep in contact with everyone.
Love ya's
<3
