On Why Renting an Apartment in NYC Sucks
@maebyfunke HA! More like one week. Seriously, "Can you move in tomorrow?" and/or "I need to move in by tomorrow," is not unheard of.

On Why Renting an Apartment in NYC Sucks
@Franny Every broker I've contacted through friends has been just as bad. It's like they just don't care. One guy was even like, "Oh, I'm just a freelance broker, I'm not really doing any listings right now." How is that even a thing?

On Can You Wear a Cocktail Dress to Work?
My favorite thing to wear to work is the thing that fits. I would love to go to the Housing Works event but I am going to be on a plane to an island so I think I'm getting an okay deal.

@Dancercise I'm partial to, "That would be the stupidest thing in your LIFE."

On In High School, With Dollars to Spend
@DickensianCat I had a boyfriend who went to one of those schools where everyone had to wear the same faux-dress or tux front for their senior pictures. That seems like such a weird tradition, and yet, it's so widespread! I am horribly un-photogenic so I didn't give a crap about my senior picture. I don't remember what I paid, but I definitely had to pay for it on my own, so I only got one pose, and no prints. I wore a green polo (khaki shorts and brown chucks out of frame), no makeup, and was in and out of there in like 15 minutes.

I went to a Yankee game the other week, and someone asked his date to prom via a message on the jumbotron! It was kind of adorable, but absolutely nobody at my school did anything like that.

On Who Didn't Have a George Foreman Grill?
My roommate has a George Foreman grill. A previous roommate had the Magic Bullet. I have never used either, but the Magic Bullet infomercial was amazing. I would watch that thing like regular television. My mom got me Proactiv a couple years ago, but it never seemed to work.

On I Chose the Expensive Private University — And Got the Debt to Go With It
@MissMushkila This was me, too, except it was my guidance counselors telling me that "student debt is good debt!" and "don't worry about the money now!" I have two high-school aged sisters and try to tell them everything I know now about this kind of stuff, but they're in high school, so listening to their older sister is like, totally lame and stupid, amirite?

On The Frills of Campus Living
Jeez, and I thought my on-campus college apartment in 2003 was fancy. Cable was included, my 2-bed had 2 private bathrooms, and we had a dishwasher. The apartment I had my second year was off-campus and decidedly less fancy, but I didn't have to share it with a spoiled idiot, so that helped.

On The Triumphant Return of Do 1 Thing
This reminded me to Check my TransitChek balance and make a hair appointment for when my girl gets back from maternity leave in August. Woo one thing day! Also great job on the hostessing gig. A second job has been helping me save up kind of a lot more than I would normally, despite the heavy taxes.
