Dear all of the cleaning I have to do,

Ugh ugh ugh ugh ugh. Why don't I have magical animated city rodents to clean my apartment for me a la Enchanted?

Or, you know, the monies to hire a cleaning lady once in a while?

Love the girl who is afraid her FI will judge how messy the apartment is and not want to live together

lmcooper86 · July 2014

@Blue & White that is awesome!! Yay for pants!

loves2shop4shoes · July 2014

@phira, I 100th the sentiment. Thinking of you and hope to hear from you soon.

Peaseblossom55 · July 2014

@Blue yay for real pants!

Dear newbs of NEY,

Some of you seem pretty cool, some of you I'm waiting to see what happens, and some of you are just too damn funny.

Bless your hearts,
A long-time NEYer who would probably offer you genuine advice but is just too tired and impatient today, so I'm just gonna like @GoldenPenguin's brilliant photo and keep on movin'

Dear regs,

How do you pronounce NEY in your head? Because I go like NEEEEEIIIIIIIGH.

Love,
Obsessed with pronunciation

***

Dear self,

I'm proud of you for cooling it with all the fast food and for starting to cook more healthy stuff at home. Besides the cake. You do bake an awful lot of cake.

At least you've been running a lot,
You

Dear jobs I am applying for,

WHAT THE HELL I HAVE THREE YEARS' EXPERIENCE AND DAMN GOOD GRADES WHY U NO CALLLLLLLL

Sincerely,
Highly motivated and broke as hell prospective employee

Dear work,

Kindly get your shit together. I'm working night shift tomorrow and I am not prepared to deal with shenanigans when I can never be there to control things.

Love,
The aide you apparently love to hate

Dear dude my BFF introduced me to,

Plus one for being seriously attractive and funny as hell, minus two for typing like an 11-year-old girl.

Disappointedly yours,
A woman who is apparently overly interested in men who can spell...

I've got another letter...

Dear Allergist,

Thanks for being located a block from my apartment. You make it really easy to pop over and poop in peace before coming back to work.

Sincerely,

Full of Fiber

BreMR · July 2014

Dear Universe,

I really would love for you to send me the most perfect job that I will actually get!

Sincerely,

Sick of getting my hopes up

Dear FI,

I was gone for 5 days, could you REALLY not start the dishwasher??

Love,

Your annoyed but lovely fiancee

Dear NEY-ers

I have missed the board during my absence! I see a lot of new names and have been thoroughly entertained since returning!

Love,

BreMR

@severmilli12 did you hear about the job you interviewed for?? I apologize if it was posted elsewhere, still making my way through new posts!

@phira, I definitely echo the sentiments of the others here, I hope things are going well ,and I hope that you come back to us soon!

luckya23 · July 2014

@CLoGreenEyes, I had a similar aversion to bad spellers, but forever grateful I gave my SO a chance anyway!

CLoGreenEyes · July 2014

@Kelani23, lol, I'm trying to remember to not be too harsh in my judgments! Bad spelling is annoying, but perhaps not a dealbreaker. Perhaps.

BreMR · July 2014

@CloGreenEyes my FI is a HORRIBLE speller. I learned in biology or psychology in high school that the ability to spell is linked to genetics, and his mom and dad are both bad spellers... so I cut him a major break.

Plus, I love having something that makes me feel smarter than him

wahahah (evil laugh) Mostly kidding on that.

lmcooper86 · July 2014

@CLoGreenEyes - FI has really terrible grammar sometimes and it drives me crazy! I actually winced a few times when we first started texting lol I will say that he's a lot better now, I think my (usually) good spelling/grammar/texting has rubbed off on him…or he knows that it drives me nuts and he tries really hard

minskat30 · July 2014

@CLoGreenEyes - In my head its "N""E""Y"' then rrrrsss if I'm saying "NEYrs". I don't know why....maybe I like the "Y""M""C""A" song deep down somewhere?

Dear Homeowners of Home We Are Purchasing,

You went back on your verbal offer to fix several of the home's issue in this last go round of negotiations, which I think you did because you got a higher, competing offer. What you did was underhanded and I'm going to literally pray to God that I can forgive you, you "sweet" for-sale-by-owners you. I've been nothing but nice to you but now I shall be the Queen of Mean. I'll take MY home as-is and you can stuff it. Seriously, get the F out. By the way, we will see if the home appraises. If it doesn't, you better believe I'm attaching MY engineer's report to the city's report on your property. Engineer > Your-Contractor-Friend who did a fake report. Also, if you damage ANYTHING on the home after you leave, you will be sued...HARD.

Dear sample,

Whoops with the spilling. Nothing like losing a whole day's work right at the end.

Dear expensive custom o-ring,

Where the ever-loving fuck are you?

---

Because science.

Blue & White · July 2014

@keptinstitches lol I was the equipment manager in our lab. Sooooo many o rings! Luckily the ordering guy loved me so he would order me extras because the rest of the lab breaking them was driving me batty

KeptInStitches · July 2014

@blue, It would be a hell of a lot better if it weren't a custom-made-just-for-this-piece-of-equipment-o-ring. I'm hoping I set it down on the counter and I find it in the morning.

ShallowSeas · July 2014

@BreMR I had a second interview on Tuesday where I met with the people I would be working with and they gave me a tour of the facility. She is suppose to let me know by the end of this week if I have the position or not.

tuarceatha · July 2014

Dear @cu97tiger,

No work only play!

Best,
tuarceatha

eilis1228 · July 2014

@severmilli12 Since tomorrow is a holiday, that probably means you'll find out today! *crosses fingers for you*

ShallowSeas · July 2014

@weewittlewizabeth I hope so! The lady who gave me a tour said that from what she's heard, if I want the job, I've got it. I hope she's right but i'm trying not to get my hopes up...

eilis1228 · July 2014

@severmilli12 Wow! That sounds really promising. I don't blame you for trying not to get your hopes up though. You just never know. All the same, I'm sending positive vibes your way.

ShallowSeas · July 2014

@weewittlewizabeth thanks!

KeptInStitches · July 2014

Positive job vibes, @severmilli12!

ShallowSeas · July 2014

thank you @keptinstitches!

Peaseblossom55 · July 2014

Positive job vibes @severmilli12

ShallowSeas · July 2014

thanks @peaseblossom55!

BreMR · July 2014

It sounds great, I have my fingers crossed for you! That'd be a great start to a holiday weekend!!

eilis1228 · July 2014

Dear Potential Future Photographers,

Why you so expensive?! I mean, I get that a lot of time and effort are put into wedding photography, but holy moly $4k is expensive.

Love,

Bride Trying to Stick to a Budget

minskat30 · July 2014

@weewittlewizabeth - I know photogs are pricey. I think we spent $3,500-$4,000. Can you negotiate? I negotiated with around 90% of my vendors....some went for it, others didn't. Might be worth a shot though.

KeptInStitches · July 2014

@weewittlewizabeth, I agree that negotiating is worth a shot. Also, try weddingbee and weddingwire for vendor searches if you haven't yet. Do you have any local photographers who maybe don't have a studio? It cuts down on their expenses and thus cuts their cost to you. We found a photographer for $1300 whose work we like - it can be done!
