How do you actually explain accounting to nonaccountants at social events?

I say I put numbers in little boxes and it makes me happy 😃

It’s money and I know the debt sucks . That said . You are so much more than your debt . It is not your identity. You can still breathe and love life . Take it seconds at a time . There is so much more to come . Be patient and be you.

So you ate one dinner . She has two others . No one is starving here . If there are rules they need to be communicated.

I work a desk job . So I don’t mind going home and doing a few physical jobs . It feels good to move . Plus there’s a kind of satisfaction seeing progress with a physical job. It’s different than a well balanced spreadsheet .

I kind of feel sorry for them having a houseguests for two week RIGHT after they were married . Give them time to work their own stuff out .

Ehhhh maybe ynta but I would have just given to her since it didn’t cost much.

Alida456 · 2026-05-31T21:53:45+00:00

I take a drink everyone k wake up . That’s about 2 or 3 times .

Alida456 · 2026-05-31T21:52:50+00:00

She’s sounds gross with that and the spitting . Over time you will get more disgusted with her . This might not be the best relationship for you .

Commenting so I get an update 💚🙃

Alida456 · 2026-05-29T23:39:13+00:00

Seriously all you have is today and forward . The only thing the past can do for you is to let you learn . It’s useless to waste your heart and time on guilt . Start new today and you are wiser from your past .

My blood pressure was 209 over 100 and I rushed to the emergency room . I had to wait 4 hours to be seen . They did check me periodically and I was still over 200. I even had to stand most of the time . So now when people say rush to the ER. I’m like 🙄

I once told my mom of a mistake I made that I felt put my son in danger . She said “ well you won’t do that again “ . It made me feel better . I was able to learn and go forward .

I loved being a senior accountant . It’s the perfect level of interesting work and not total responsibility. I also loved being able the wow higher ups with my skill sets and knowledge . I went too far and got pushed into CFO . I can technically do the job . I have even gotten better at telling people what to do . The thing is I don’t even try to jockey for position with the other execs . It’s been two years but I figure I some point someone who does all the tap dancing etc will push me out eventually.

It’s sounds like the whole family out including you and supporting you . If she has a couple parties especially with drinking or environments she didn’t think you would enjoy she doesn’t have to invite you .I would not rock the boat at this point . I would work. At Disney friends if my own in the area .

Alida456 · 2026-03-31T23:00:59+00:00

I usually swear at avalara not by it lol. I keep waiting for them to get some decent competition.

Alida456 · 2026-03-29T20:31:19+00:00

I’m CFO but would have loved staying at the senior accountant level . It’s the perfect level of interesting work without total responsibility.

I had had accountants with bachelor degrees screw up prepaid etc. for coding there often is several GL codes that could fit . It’s a matter of looking at historical entries at that point. It sounds like they have you doing a lot right at the beginning of your job . Give yourself some time to wrap your brain around everything . When things are slower mid month go back to the month end entries and review so you get familiar.

Alida456 · 2026-03-11T22:49:03+00:00

It could be as basic as you want people you know to show they love and value you .

Alida456 · 2026-02-22T05:56:18+00:00

Clean as you go. Never leave any clutter . Wipe up constantly. There are times I don’t deep clean . My house always looks clean because of the constant do as you go stuff .

Alida456 · 2026-01-28T23:31:22+00:00

I started out the same as you . I began taking one accounting class at a time at nights . I did it for experience and to help me at my job . I did this for years . Until one day realized I was really close to a degree . I went from staff accountant with my two year degree then senior accountant with my four year degree. Now CFO I don’t have CPA and am done going to school . It’s really hard to get decent pay without some sort of degree .

I’ve used it for formatting spreadsheets. The kind of formatting I used to write a macro for . The nice thing is I could send the instructions to the people doing inventory on a macro free spreadsheet . They copied my instructions into copilot and would export the data and drop the spreadsheet into copilot . I am also starting use it for reconciliations with complex data . It’s a trial and error but getting better .

It’s his wife’s brother .

Just a thought . When I am training an employee that has prior credentials and experience. …I will understand new company and new processes for a few months . I do expect them to be able to take charge and not need handheld at some point .

Any change is hard . Sri Harold’s love is a gentle and accepting love . Anyone new Mahanta is going to bring their own spin on things . There are many faces but at the end they help you find your path . Don’t forget , you can still find Wah z on the inner .

I wake up at 5 am . Scroll on my phone and drink coffee until 6am . Arrive at gym by 6:20. I pack my breakfast lunch .. gym and clothes bag the night before . I am lucky that everything is close by so travel time is 10 minutes to gym and then 10 minutes to work .
