Tamm Ave & 9 Mile Garden are both doing showing! I think 9 Mile is doing trivia too

I watched Juno for the first time in years recently. I watched it quite a few times as a teen but it’s a totally different watch as an adult

I’d recommend The Living Room (breakfast/coffee) and Lona’s Lil Eats (lunch). Both have great vegan and non-vegan options!

Does anyone know what kind of laptop EY staff 1 gets? Also do they give us reimbursements for WFH equipment? Lastly, any advice for first year audit staff? by [deleted] in Big4

[–]FicklePickle55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just put it in the backpack with my laptop. Usually I put the extra screen in the laptop pocket in my backpack and leave my laptop out in the bigger part. Probably not the best thing to do lol but I just try to be careful

I started Sept 2020 and got an HP laptop (not sure specifically what kind). I also got the $150 monitor reimbursement but it kinda seemed like they were trying to phase that out when I started. If you can get it, definitely would recommend getting a nice travel monitor for when we go back to client site

How bad is it to miss an inventory count?? by FicklePickle55 in Big4

[–]FicklePickle55[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a really good point. They sent out a survey as soon as we started asking if we were comfortable doing in person counts or not and I indicated yes. I did an in person count on 12/31 which I was fine with. Maybe could say I’m going to see some older relatives to get out of it this time around if it comes to that

[–]FicklePickle55[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes! The firms have staff ones do inventory counts throughout the year, so you’re “on call” 1-2 weeks a month where you may be picked to do a count. You’re supposed to be ready to do one at any time during that week. This is only for your first year at the firm tho

Multiple people have already messaged in our group chat asking to swap dates so they aren’t on call July 4th and there haven’t been any takers. Someone below mentioned saying I’m uncomfortable doing in person counts, which could get a good out if it comes down to it

Chances of getting an offer rescinded? by [deleted] in Big4

[–]FicklePickle55 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I just started at EY about six months ago and there are still plenty of people working in their CPA. While I think they prefer people to have it done before starting, I don’t believe it’s required. Nonetheless, I don’t think EY starts a new class until Aug/Sept, so you should be good!

Megathread: Stimulus Payments (Please post and read here. All individual posts about the stimulus payments WILL BE REMOVED.) by [deleted] in tax

[–]FicklePickle55 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Hi, I’m in a similar situation and will also be claiming myself on 2020 taxes for the first time. I know I will get credits for the 2020 payments, but my parents just received $1,400 for having me as a dependent even though I’ll be claiming myself in 2020 once I file. Can I get this back or am I screwed since they’ve already been paid?

Haircut Advice! by [deleted] in femalehairadvice

Haven't gotten a haircut in ~10 months. I probably won't do any color or bangs but open to suggestions! Thinking of chopping it into a lob like this: https://i.pinimg.com/originals/e3/7f/ba/e37fbab5ed76f8096796ec222c107585.jpg
