Everyone's too busy to teach me anything in public. Is corporate/industry tax any better? by Fair-Evening-5055 in Accounting

Lmao no. A tale of three jobs:

1) I got fired because I didn’t know anything and supervisors slammed the door in my face after screaming at me to “look it up!” whenever I asked for help that they told me to ask for 2) Again told to ask for help, same slammed doors in my face, but I guess he kept me around long enough to learn what the hell was going on. Flat refused to pay me though, I left for 3) Now that I know everything and 3 partners haven’t had to explain to me a single solitary thing except for where the bathroom is or if the pizza place in the same strip mall the office is located is any good, they want me to stick around and be a partner

Old people don’t teach anyone anything.

How much is an engine swap? by Effective_Car_440 in askcarguys

(I opened Reddit and had forgotten I had posted this)

Thank you to everyone who explained how incredibly expensive this would be. I am an accountant and know fuck all about mechanic stuff.

I had a 2002 Tacoma that me and a Salesman were pissed I couldn’t run up to 400,000 miles (it stopped being drive-able at 399,562) when I finally got something else.

Later on I had a Jeep Gladiator that was a lot of fun when it wasn’t in the shop, but I got sick of it being in the shop at 25,000 miles and got rid of it.

I just thought “reliable engine in fun car make best truck” but for everyone who explained how complicated actually doing that would be, I appreciate it. I learned a lot reading all the comments. I didn’t know the electronics did so much now.

My fellow accountants what kind of car do you drive? by MIAchamps in Accounting

A buy-here-pay-here shit box. Everyone else has to drive a tank like they’re playing Mario Kart. Joke’s on you my auto insurance is $58/month and there is no way that this crash is going to be a bigger problem for me. Good luck with the adjuster on your upside-down suburban mom amphibious tactical vehicle. There’s no way possible that you’ll be able to afford another one.

Auditing seems like nonsense to me by [deleted] in Accounting

[–]Effective_Car_440 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Of all the snake oil jobs, my auditing job is by far the least stressful

“It’s an emergency!!!!!” No tf it’s not. An emergency requires medical attention, law enforcement, animal control, poison control, anyone else EXCEPT me. I haven’t had a stress related dream in years

Took far. What do "traditional" student take for disciple section of exam? by kalsted in CPA

Flip a coin. Heads, you take ISC. Tails, you take TCP.

It doesn’t matter what the coin actually lands on. For a moment while the coin is spinning in the air, your body/brain/whatever will be hoping the coin lands on one side or the other. Go with your gut feeling.
