It’s nice to be needed

  • My former boss at the Ocho texted me over lunch today. The new assignment editor (my dear friend!) started today and they needed to make some logins for her into the newsroom software and internet updating software. When he asked the Engineers to do it, their reply was “uh, Melissa always did that.”
  • So former boss asked me to walk him through doing it. I tried to help over the phone, but, (imagine this!) the boss doesn’t have administrator privileges so he couldn’t change the system. Awesome. I did, however, make her a web login from my new job location. Love that.
  • Then a reporter texted me, asking me for my former roomie (the state Senator’s) cell phone number for a story. I obliged. Good stuff.
  • Makes me feel warm and fuzzy to know that even though I’ve been gone nearly a month, they still (kinda) need me. 🙂
  • In other news, I need new running shoes, stat. Mine have just under 500 miles on them and Oh boy, can I feel it! There is no cushion left. I’m making an attempt to get those this week.

That’s all I got people, have a good night!

Summer vacation, gap-week style.

If you need me, I’ll be on my floatie for the next 6 days.

New job starts next Monday! Thanks for all the well-wishes about leaving The Ocho, it was an emotional week. I’m excited for this new adventure…and some time off before it begins!
