The month of August is fun at my job. We are just busy enough that I can run a full summer staff but we rarely need it. This allows me to spend most of my weekend people watching.

I am a manager at a movie theatre so there are always people coming and going. You have young couples pawing at each other, old couples pawing at each other and other old couples who just don’t know what to do with each other so they go to see what ever crap is out. (I have directed my wife to shoot me if ever become the second type of old couple.)

The individuals are fun. Some own it; talking with the staff and generally having fun despite the faux social stigma of being alone. Movie watching in the theatre is a solo activity as we frown upon talking in auditoriums after all…
