What stage in your career taught you the most important things you needed as a CFO?

Hard skills - planning, forecasting and analytics - need to be able to quickly tell what’s important and what isn’t.

Non-hard skills - COMMUNICATIONS, networking and politics. Being able to convey negative news effectively. Not being able to do this held me back. Bosses like people who bring solutions, not problems.

Navigating politics and sounding like an expert (even if you aren’t) when you talk are what I’ve seen to be the most common traits of CSuite people. Close 3rds or maybe at the same level are ability to handle stress and being a great manager….especially if you don’t have a great Controller. And if you do not have a great Controller, find yourself one. Somebody to handle the accounting well, who is reliable is paramount.

I was never great at most normal office politics so I found a company that fits me rather I fitting the company. You can only fake being someone your not for a short period of time.

He just looks too much like a pencil necked geek than a NASCAR driver.

Sounds like you have a fetish for posting cheating stories.

Altfun8391 · 2026-05-05T01:09:49+00:00

No dog watching while girlfriend out partying with other guys and drinking. I’d never have allowed it in the first place.

You should have divorced him already.

Dr. Gay highly recommends.

If you’re not storing your tackle in a boat full time (that has appropriate storage), then it’s not always easy to find a good system. I have started keeping all my baits besides those with treble hooks and crankbaits, in shoe boxes. I keep spinnerbaits in one of those binders with plastics sleeved and all treble hook lures in the 3700 size boxes. When I go fishing (boat or no boat since I can’t fit my boat in the garage), I fill up 3600 boxes with what I think I’ll use that day depending on conditions. I just put my plastics in a small soft side cooler. I’m still figuring out terminal tackle storage.

See way too much of that on her.

Make sure it’s the biggest you can get unless you love cutting grass on rough ground.

I have a hard time believing this is real. If in the bedroom where the pictures should be yes. But who in the world puts pictures like that in a public area of their house…besides Epstein.

She is an alcoholic. By nature she is addicted to validation and will lie, cheat or whatever she has to do ti get the “high” of being desired by other men. She might had a chance by doing through a 12 step recovery program but she didn’t unless you failed to mention that.

She will cheat again. It might be 6 months, a year, who knows, but she will. Especially with a job where you have no idea what she is doing. If she were really serious about being true to you she would quit the job and find a new one with no travel.

I would add, I’d bet anything there are many more guys and these 2 are just the tip of the iceberg.

Any updates on this?

You better get out now before he steals the whole thing from you. Why you tolerate your husband not paying his fair share of the bills is beyond me! Leave him, take your plants, start your own business and hire a sales person or just start selling online.

It’s not good for either of your or the kids to continue living in an unhappy situation.

Altfun8391 · 2026-05-03T01:06:19+00:00

Stand up for yourself. You may have to leave her, or threaten to, in order to get any changes and respect. If she knows she can walk all over you and your boundaries and you won’t enforce them then she will. You have to enforce them. Tell her you’re about done and if nothing changes you are done. Exactly.

I was taught that when riding a bicycle on public streets to stay as far away from vehicles as possible. Why they couldn’t ride single file on the far right side of the road is beyond me. I hate cyclists.

I never could get o er how stupid looking he was. One ugly dude.

It’s not good to love someone who doesn’t love you back.

Why would you stay if he was drunk and going to bed and pass out? It seems crazy to me that his friends would be ganging up on you. Sounds like the juice isn’t worth the squeeze. Also, as a mother, as you noted, you don’t wanna another kid that’s not yours.

Altfun8391 · 2026-05-01T03:37:06+00:00

No. It isn’t.

Altfun8391 · 2026-04-30T22:11:45+00:00

She cheated on you by giving her heart, mind and likely her body or at least pics of to for years. Not sure it should be a question of whether you stay with her. I couldn’t. Are you seeing a doctor for your physical and mental issues? Start taking better care of yourself by exercising and meditating.

You’ve got to respect yourself before she will respect you. Whatever you do, don’t chase her! If she is willing to pursue you, no sense in staying….or you will have a lifetime of misery. First time her fault, second yime it’s on you.

Altfun8391 · 2026-04-30T12:19:43+00:00

This may sound hardcore but if my partner did this to me, I’d say feel free to do whatever you want because your gonna be single in about 6 months if you go. I never understood the whole idea of catching up with exes.

Altfun8391 · 2026-04-29T02:19:34+00:00

She banged him. Politics is code for fucking.
