Career Update

I have some great news that I’ve been keeping under wraps because I was not ready to share it yet until it was more final.

My current job gave me an offer to stay on board indefinitely but another company had also done so at the same time. A couple of days before Christmas, I decided to accept the offer from the other company and will have to say goodbye to everyone tomorrow as I start my new job on Wednesday.

Today for lunch, Vicky, Kieran, Salim, Justin, and I went to Finn Hall. We all got food from Sit Lo except for Justin who went for Mediterranean. It was my last meal with this group. I am a bit sad because for all the years I’ve ever worked, this group is one that I would say has been easy to talk to.

Also, so far, Finn Hall has been a “no thanks” from me. I haven’t had anything that I’d say I would come back for because it’s good.

After work, I went over to Mallory’s for our hangout since this whole rest of the week will be busy with me starting a new job and farewell happy hour come Thursday.

We ordered Bonchon, talked about random things while John eavesdropped on random parts of our conversations and wanted more deets. JJ is getting his sassy attitude and it makes me laugh so much.

I’ve written goodbye letters for all eight of my interns and one for the future sole supervisor. She was my backup when I wasn’t available so I know she’ll kick butt at it.

I’m a little extra and embossed everyone’s names on the envelopes.

So extra that I bought a wax seal stamper that says “Open Me”. I still need practice but majority of them came out okay.

I am mentally drained spreading my knowledge to everyone at work and when Wednesday comes it’ll be even more drained since I will be learning a lot.

My official first day is not until the 21st but my new boss said that if I am able to come in starting this week, she’ll give me two extra weeks of vacation! Six weeks of vacation total? Sure!
