Mirna: la is awesome

me: that's stupid, though
me: very well
Mirna: so enjoy me while i'm there <3
Mirna: ok but if i dont find another job within 3-4 months i'm moving in with dave in la
me: plus I want you to come live in my city with me
Mirna: <3
Mirna: true dat
me: is that you'll be able to apply for jobs here without flying around
me: the most important thing
me: but
Mirna: i would have to move soon
me: there are plenty of housing options
Mirna: well i gotta get on it
Mirna: hmmmmmm
me: whatever
Mirna: or should i just sublease
Mirna: think i can get a month to month place in manhattan
me: right
Mirna: well ya, but we have to find me another one asap
me: get another job
me: do it for three months
me: take it
Mirna: it is a horrible job
Mirna: or i will KILL mysef
Mirna: but i have to find a new job within 3 months
Mirna: but i'll prolly take it
Mirna: with long hours
Mirna: but the job SUCKS
Mirna: which means 3,800 after taxes
Mirna: ok so its $70,000/year
me: it's faggy and stupid
me: you've seen a small part of it
me: your aversion to Brooklyn is ridiculous
me: also
me: in Manhattan
Mirna: rent a room where?
me: you can rent a room for a few months
me: that's fine
me: until such time as you get a better job
Mirna: i am not living in brooklyn.
me: you can do something more reasonable just like everyone else does
me: you don't need to get your $1500 apartment right off the bat
me: listen
me: silly female
me: okay, slow down
Mirna: plus bills
me: you don't need to spend more here
Mirna: my rent is 1500 minimum
Mirna: and that is NEW YORK
Mirna: and i could only save 600/month here
Mirna: i am being paid what i was being paid in austin
me: and spend another two months looking for a job
Mirna: i can't save up any money
Mirna: ya if i quit i have to leave
me: with saved up money
Mirna: or i go to la
me: but you could quit after three months
Mirna: so either i find something else that is cool
me: word
Mirna: i'm too pretty to do it. and i won't.
me: well, of course you can stay with us for as long as you need till you get a place
Mirna: i'm not working 14 hour days at a job that sucks more than 3 months
Mirna: so i wouldnt have to work that much
Mirna: and i have a free place to stay
Mirna: ya but it is like paradise out there
me: so, give all of that some thought before you write off any options
me: most parts of Brooklyn are far superior
me: in various crappy apartment complexes
me: you live in Austin
me: you need to give thought to reasonable options that will give you a chance to advance your career instead of just being a princess
me: and thereby be able to save the money you need to quit job after three months and concentrate on finding a better one
me: you can get a place that's quick to work, cheap, nice neighborhood
me: the ghetto part
me: [sic]
me: december, janaury
Mirna: what months are coldest?
me: and there's snow about 5 percent of the year
me: you're on the subway, sweetheart
Mirna: 20 minutes is still far in snow
me: most are 20 minutes
me: all of these are within 30 minutes of your job
me: Greenpoint
me: Park Slope
me: Clinton Hill

me: parts of Bushwick next to Williamsburg
Mirna: isnt williamsburg super pricey?
