After reading this posting many times, I'm still not exactly sure what the job actually is.

There's something about
nudity, gay porn, sexual atmosphere, and cash handling. Okay, so I'm forming a mental picture here, but then it tacks on that bit about light janitorial (???). Is what I'm cleaning up somehow related to what I was handling cash for? And is what I was handling cash for related to the nudity, gay porn, and sexual atmosphere?

Personally, I am comfortable
with nudity, gay porn, and a sexual atmosphere, cash handling HOWEVER, light janitorial is out of the question. I have no problem with Reach-Around Cinema, but I have a college degree, I don't do windows.

I will say thoug, it's a nice perk to have medical insurance (which I guess isn't really a perk if you're working on "Nob Hill").

And finally, what's with that part about applying
w/RESUME IN HAND (all caps) for "priority consideration?"

Resume "IN HAND?" What is this ad -- a script for one of the movies they're showing there?
