Get Well Soon, Melissa!

Posted by Brett H. Sep 27, 2009

A good friend of ours from Zappos, Melissa, was injured on Friday in an accident. She is going to be alright, which makes everyone so happy. Melissa is one of the sweetest people on earth, and I'm so proud to call her a colleague and a friend. She embodies the Zappos Culture with a unique combination of goofiness, wit and weirdness. Let's use this blog as a Get Well Card for Melissa to help aid her along in her recovery. Sign it by commenting below! I'm sure it will make her so happy!

Love,
EVERYONE!!!!!

Sorry, Melissa. Get well. Wish I could be part of the team. I would design a Get Well Cake for you. If you aren't allowed to eat it, I am sure the Zappo's peeps would come with a contest to see who could gobble the most, the fastest, or throw in someone's face.

Heaget back with the Z fanily.

Dear Melissa,

I'm so sorry about the scary accident, but I'm glad you have so much support. You are very well thought of at Zappos (so I've read), and I'm sure you have just as many loved ones outside of Zappos who are plugging/caring for ya. It makes me happy to know good people are being well cared for. :)

Wishing you much healing and peace!

get well quickly - if you are a reader an Amazon Kindle is the best thing ever while you are laid up (saved my sanity last year with a badly broken arm) or if you are a crafter knitting is great therapy and very calming --

take care

Hello Melissa!

I have a friend name Melissa and we believe in nicknames.

I started calling her Melt-tor. Then sometimes I'd call her Marissa. I liked them both so I put them together... so I named her Mel-tor-issa.

I know I don't know you but it won't stop me from caring. I know my friends and I would be devastated if we found out Meltorissa was in an accident.

I am sure everybody is extremely happy to know that you are okay!

I'd bring you some Mrs. Grass chicken noodle soup if I didn't live so far away.

Recover soon miss Nevada Meltorissa!

Sincerely,
Jefferson Starship

Hey Chica! I was so sad to hear about this, but am SO happy you're going to be OK...have an amazingly beautiful wedding...I know you will! And don't forget to check out the Hero next week! You're a star!!!! :)

Melissa L. 01 Oct 09 at 09:04AM

Thank you all for your kind words!

I am lucky to be alive...wish I could say the same for the poor girl's truck. (just kidding, I'm sure the truck is fine.) But it really is a miracle that I'm in the shape I'm in after the accident and I gladly accept the pain of the fracture on the back of my skull and my broken ankle, because it could have been a lot worse. I miss you all and I can't wait to be cleared to go back to work.

Best,
Melissa L.

Note: To all the cyclists who refuse to wear a helmet...I wouldn't be here today if I wasn't wearing mine.

writer 01 Oct 09 at 09:20AM

Mel, we are so glad you are still here with us! we love and miss you and can't wait to have you back!

I'm sure you were a formidable opponent to that girl's truck! Glad you were wearing a helmet!

I look forward to many more awkward staring contests with you!

Love ya!
