Woolly Mammoth

I start my new job as Development Manager, Special Events at Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company today.

Weirdness so far-

1. They spell theatre with an RE. Arena spells it with a ER. Magik also spells it with an RE. So after months of training myself to spell it with an ER, I now have to train myself back.

2. We don't start work until 10. I get up at 7 (well 7-ish, Ryan don't you laugh) I used to leave the house at 8:45 and now I don't have to leave until 9:40. I already had a lazy morning but with an extra hour I am clueless as to what to do. So far, I have had another cup of coffee and vacuumed. I guess I am going to have to start working out or something.

3. Woolly is slightly less formal that Arena. I mean in general less formal but I am honestly most focused on the dress code. While I used to worry I wasn't looking "nice" enough for work, I am currently concerned about the opposite. I don't want to alienate potential new friend/workmates by dressing too well. I'm going for black pants and a grey shirt today. Can't really get too formal when you dress like stage crew.

OK- well that killed 15 minutes. Only 20 more to go before I leave for work.
