Rejection Letter Blues

Rejection Letter Blues

Dear Blogary,

Boy, are my antennae twisted. Sometimes being Editor Lovebug is the most fantastic thing ever. And sometimes, it sucks hornet stingers.

Take yesterday for example. I got to write acceptance letters to some new bees! That’s my favorite thing ever! But just last night, I had to write about a dozen rejection letters, too. I HATE having to do that. I feel just awful for the wannabees who we don’t have room for. How can I make them see that even though they can’t all be bees, their blogs are still fantastic? I don’t want *anyone’s* feelers to be hurt–I’m a LOVEbug for cryin’ out loud…but we only have spots for about five percent of our applicants! It’s easier to get on The Price Is Right than it is to blog for Weddingbee!…

In all seriousness, Mrs. Bee and I want everyone to know how much we appreciate all of our applicants. We’re super sorry to have to turn anyone down! You guys are smart, funny, and so creative…we’re honored you’ve shared your ideas with us.

So, thanks to everyone who takes the time and initiative to apply. We think you’re the bees’ knees!

Wheeeee new bees! Can’t wait to meet ‘em! Miss Lovebug I hear ya. It’s like when I used to work in management and I wanted to be friends with all my coworkers so it sucked when I had to dish out negative feedback or discipline, or worse - fire them.

Hey I’m just curious. When you look at bee applications, how much does blog design factor into your decision (I’m hoping not at all, because I know my blogger template sucks, but I don’t do graphic design!)

I never even got a rejection letter when I applied!

…but I’m looking forward to the new bees!

AMK — what??! Unacceptable! I think yours must be getting crusty under my refridgerator or something, because I looked up your email and the name doesn’t ring a bell.

Maybe it was before I joined Weddingbee? I just emailed you to try and figure it out…

Um, I received a general email about y’all receiving my application, but I haven’t received a rejection letter yet, either.

Hi Christin — I believe I sent you a letter explaining that your date was too far yet, and that to please give us a heads up when you got close…?

Anyone else who didn’t hear back — please email me directly rather than post here; that way I’ll get it right away. thanks!
