Friday Update

Got a temp contract starting Tuesday, as an admin assistant at the offices of a construction company. I plan to overdye my hair back to brown till I can figure out what the unspoken dress code is—“business casual” can mean just about anything. Mind you, at my last long-term job, also construction-adjacent, the head of Payroll mainly wore hoodies with classic-rock logos on them and had both his ears pierced. In any case I feel like changing up my hair a little. Was going to dye it today but the weather dissuaded me from shopping.

Watched the National Theatre’s production of The Importance of Being Earnest last night. It’s up on YouTube till the 18th if you want to watch it too. Heard of it because Ncuti Gatwa plays Algernon, and he’s excellent, but Sharon D. Clarke as Lady Bracknell is amazing.

That's cool.

(Congratulations on your employment.)

Even in the clips, she was a highlight!

Thanks for the rec on Importance of Being Earnest. I rather like that play.

Good luck on your gig with the construction company. I work with construction contract change orders for a railroad, so am familiar with the industry. It's an interesting industry. And yep, business casual can mean just about anything now.

Good luck with the new job!

So glad IoBE was great. (I knoooow I can't watch that kind of thing - filmed theatre, or a lot of stuff online - but I am almost tempted anyway.)
