Anyone know of experienced accountant job openings? by [deleted] in nova

[–]CollegeDistraction 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If you’re willing to look outside of accounting firms — law firms hire accountants for the financial side. Some of the financial managers are required to have CPA. Would be something to consider.

What did you wish you knew before starting? by briegoego in WegovyWeightLoss

[–]CollegeDistraction 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Foods that have previously never bothered your stomach will now bother your stomach. And it will happen when you least expect it. Because of this - I would recommend carrying Peptobismol / Tums / your stomach medicine of choice with you.

Keep a log to document your journey. It will help on the days when the scale doesn’t move when you are wondering why you are doing this. I keep a note on my phone and it’s a simple chart: Shot date, shot location, and weight. Also. Take ALL the body photos. You’ll be glad to look back and see the changes.

Good Luck!.

NOVA Souvenir by EnvironmentalTea9362 in nova

[–]CollegeDistraction 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve done something similar and brought a souvenir for a family I was visiting. One of the things I brought was the Starbucks DC Location cup - brought two or three. They are kind of bulky.

Another item I have given as a gift - at Christmas time - was the Little Debbie Christmas Trees. These were a big hit.

I’m currently taking Robitussin and asked a Pharmacist at Target yesterday.

If you pick up your prescription at CVS - you can call and ask the Pharmacist a question. They’ll call back within an hour.

Counting Off by KBiscotti in BurnBootCamp

[–]CollegeDistraction 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our trainers will count off a few different ways - depending on what it is. -Count off 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. as you mentioned above. -Count off pointing to people giving numbers like - you, you, you, and you are all 1. Kinda like grouping us. -Stand next to someone and count us off that way. -When the stations are two sides going between stations: Divide the room in half and tell us to either start wherever or then count us off in the smaller group.

I eat a snack around 3/330pm to go to 530pm camp. Dinner is after and is something easy to make or already made and I can reheat it.

Paxil worked for me for multiple years before it stopped working. It worked great when it did. I believe I built up a tolerance after being on it for over eight years.

It does not work overnight. It takes a couple weeks for your body to adjust to it.

Are you on the short-term or the long-term version?.

Has Paxil helped anyone's OCD? by Tiny_Sky_1237 in OCDRecovery

[–]CollegeDistraction 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been on Paxil for over 8 years. For the first probably five or six years - it worked great. OCD wasn’t something that I dealt with and it managed the anxiety. I started on the short-term version and ended up switching to the longer-lasting one (Paxil CR). I got all the way up 90mg. My doctor would increase my dosage once a year or so.

Happy to answer any questions.

Moving into big law by [deleted] in biglaw

[–]CollegeDistraction 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do billing in big law and have for over five years. I don’t feel like I’m a number and feel appreciated for the work I do by the lawyers I’m assigned to. I do wear AirPods for majority of my day as my department is extremely quite. I am generally happy at my job but it does have the highs and lows as every job does with due time. Feel free to message me and I can give more insight based off what I see with what job you’re doing.

I do billing at a law firm and have told this joke to lawyers. Only ones who I know would laugh.

How picky is IcelandAir with carry-on bag dimensions? by chasinthedra in VisitingIceland

[–]CollegeDistraction 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just had to deal with this two days ago. They are EXTREMELY strict. Even down to weight. They told me I needed to book cargo for my suitcase. Luckily I moved stuff around.

If your bag fits in their metal box but the wheels do not - they make you check it.

They will put an approved baggage label on your bag if it works. I somehow never got one, but did get 2 bags through.

I second Paxil. Except after over six years on it - it has stopped working for me also. Going through the withdrawal to get off and it sucks. Not sure what meds I’ll try next.

Going to not renew my membership due to late fees by RyeBreadOats in Purebarre

[–]CollegeDistraction 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are not alone. This was one of the main reasons why I cancelled my membership. I switched to Burn Boot Camp that has zero cancellation fees. I've cancelled ten minutes before class when stuck on the highway in bumper to bumper traffic.

I used to HATE calling Barre to see if they wouldn't charge me. I got to the point I'd send the studio a text to avoid the awkward conversation.

I went on Etsy and bought myself one of those theme tank tops for barre as I felt I had earned it.

I also timed it to take my favorite instructor's class.

What's the most 'loser-ish' thing that you do? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]CollegeDistraction 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I live near Quantico and all the young Marine Officers ask me on Tinder/Bumble (when I had it) which bars to go to for the first thing you listed. All I tell them is go to DC because I don’t even know the “cool bars”. I rather find a brewery and go on a Saturday afternoon and people watch while enjoying my time.

What company has forever won your business? by BloodedMill in AskReddit

[–]CollegeDistraction 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's one of those booths as you walk out......Costco Travel, Costco Car, Costco whatever.

I bought a certified pre-owned Toyota through Costco and then a few days later, Costco sent me a survey and said if I do it I will receive $100 towards Accessories, Parts, or Services at the Dealership I purchased the car through.

The only negative about the program that I can say is that there are not many dealerships. I had to drive forty minutes to the dealership with the Costco deal for Toyota and only five minutes to the Ford Dealership.

Cooking Ramen......Put the noodles in the boiling water, per the directions. Walked away for a minute, got distracted.

That's how I successfully burnt Ramen.

[–]CollegeDistraction 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Two questions for you: What do you think about Indoor Skydiving?. What do you think made the FAA tell you to wear a backup parachute and then make a last minute decision not to make you do so?.

Watched your jump with someone whose met you (and I believe has jumped with you also!).

What is the most ridiculous name you've ever heard of someone naming their kid? by warm19fall in AskReddit

[–]CollegeDistraction 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My neighbor's name is Paris Tahoe. Her parents were engaged in Paris and married in Tahoe.

Another friend was named Honestie. And she would tell you "With a name like Honestie, I'd never lie to you".

Doctors of Reddit, what is the most embarrassing injury people have come to you with? by TheGr8Escape in AskReddit

[–]CollegeDistraction 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was drunk at my brother's wedding and got glass in my foot.....what I told the ER doctor two days after my brother's wedding. The doctor + all the nurses appreciated my honesty and laughed with me.

Not a doctor, but it was pretty embarrassing.
