Back to Modernity

This week started with my last day at my previous job, which I think you all know, I strongly disliked. I spent the last day training my replacement, which revealed all the inefficiencies and ridiculous things that had become normal to me. But gladly, I have started my new job at the Philadelphia Orchestra. It is like I suddenly realized I have been living in slow motion, but have just now come back to real time. It is a dream to work for a bigger company with separate departments and more than 7 people. Everyone has been really nice to me so far and the company seems to really take care of their employees. I love being downtown everyday and not having to sit in traffic and spend so long in the car. My title is Volunteer Programs Assistant and I have already had a board meeting with the chairmen of the Volunteer committees. They are responsible for all the major fundraising events for the Orchestra and I was really impressed with their vision and ability to get things done and pull off successful, lucrative events.
Anyway, I am really grateful for this job. It is part time, which enables me to dance more. I have a performance this weekend and next weekend in NYC with Cherylyn. We are doing the piece we created at The Yard this summer. After that, I am starting a workshop with a choreographer here in Philly. Hopefully, that will help me to plug in better with the dance community here.
