Career Update

January 7, 2019 by Mellie Dee 2 Comments

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.

Goodbye Letters to the Interns | Open Me Wax Seal

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!

The Great British Bake Off … Kinda

I skipped a day of blogging and I don’t feel bad about it. I will say doing so made me a little less willing to today as well. I’ve noticed if I do something consecutively I will continue it and be motivated to do it. Maybe that’s what I have to do with my workouts. bahaha

Yesterday, I decided to bake for my coworkers and went to the store this morning. A few hours later I created a key lime pie, chocolate pie, and six cups of homemade whipped cream. I’m not 100% sure how the whipped cream will hold since it’s my first time making stabilized whipped cream. Tomorrow morning I’ll find out how it goes. I feel like I’m on The Great British Bake Off.

Mentally Drained

I always get tasked to write work instructions before I leave a job. Luckily I enjoy it more than the work itself. Is this a legit job? If so, can someone sign me up?

I was mentally drained by the time if hit two in the afternoon. I even skipped lunch because I was having so much fun listening to music while working. That’s when you know it’s a good day.

Noah got free tickets to House of Blues and asked if I wanted to join. I had said yes but all that driving back and forth wasn’t worth it especially when I was so drained. Instead we went to Jollibee for our third time together and took him home to make up for it.

I literally went home and crashed for a couple hours before waking up and jamming out. I am practicing to cover Secret Love Song, Part II by Little Mix. Listen to it if you haven’t. It is so angelic.

Quote | When You Have A Good Heart

January 3, 2019 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

Often times I’m told my heart is filled with so much good that I must be the best person to be around. I’m not sure if I’m the best to be around but I will always do my best to be the best for the ones I love. I sometimes tear myself apart so that I can give so much of myself to them that it breaks me mentally and physically. I may falter but I’m only human.

Often times I’m told that my heart is filled with so much good that people tend to think I have feelings for them romantically. I lean towards friendship 98% of the time and the lucky few get that 2%. I lose friends of all genders in the process. From jealous girlfriends to a boyfriend’s wandering eye. From my own gal friends’ jealousy that “so many like you yet you’re too picky” to finding out that I never felt that way about them from the start.

My walls are getting higher with each goodbye. I’m starting to believe that friendships are only temporary. In my mind, the only way I can keep a friend is if I keep my distance. But why even try, if you’re only going to become a distant memory?

An Avacado … Thanks

I went into work even though I was looking a bit rough from sickness to find out the meeting was rescheduled to tomorrow. So what do I do? Run away home of course.

Upon leaving, Noah stopped me and gave me my belated Christmas present. A squishable stuffed avocado because of that one video that we bring up constantly. It is now my favourite bedmate. Rizzo agrees.
