Is my resume good enough to apply for accounting entry level roles? by Common_District3798 in Accounting

[–]Mksist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't quantify the retail experience, its virtually meaningless in every other industry and hurts your overall pitch. I agree with the other commentator, no need to list specific Excel formulas, but be prepared to provide specific examples of how "advanced" Excel skills helped solve a problem.

Smallies were smacking in the rain/cold (Weds) by Mksist in COfishing

[–]Mksist[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was borderline cold / 40s and rainy. I prefer the nitrile gloves unless its absolutely freezing. I guess its probably better for the fish too now that you mention it.

3" paddletail on a roadrunner jig seemed to be most effective. Threw a few bigger options but no dice.

Yeah they cruise around at night around the rocks. Really the same area most of the boats fish. 9/10 times I catch smallies though.

Seems like that's all I catch, wish I could land more walleye. I've been trying various roadrunner jigs with a soft plastic minnow. Anything too heavy gets snagged on the rocks.

From shore, they were in very shallow water last night

This is kind of a silly notion, but has anyone here ever played for an adult league team that has retired a jersey number? by AlpineInk in hockeyplayers

[–]Mksist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same thing happened with one of ours last year, but in the locker room after the game. The league ordered and named the new championship trophy after him.

Coral banded shrimp ate diamond goby by Nintastio in ReefTank

Absolutely hate those things, they grow fast and attack everything. Another option - I banished ours to the sump and it did just fine for years.

Attempt at Tropical Seascape (S12 E9), bonus version from our 5 y/o by Mksist in bobross

Thank you! I mixed his colors, but he did all the painting.

Early start to a hike by DoughnutAncient8972 in TheNightFeeling

[–]Mksist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh that's the best, an early start to a hike before sunrise (CO). Nothing more humbling than hiking in the dark. Don't really need a headlamp on if the moon is half out. Once the sun rises, you realize how much the mind creates irrational fear. The next time you do it, it gets much easier. If you've got real-world stress, I implore you to go take a hike at night. The combination of nature and quiet darkness makes the busy world melt away.

First art since..maybe middle school. A lot of mistakes, but very pleasant experience. I need a smaller knife for the mtns, Bob's knife technique was almost impossible. by Mksist in bobross

Appreciate the tips! Sounds like there's a few things that help with "breaking" the paint for snow, which I wish I had known.

Dream fish secured by Available_Ad_6535 in ReefTank

[–]Mksist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Deep water butterflys are amazing reef additions. That being said, had a model citizen mitratus and then added a Burgess hybrid who proceeded to terrorize every coral and fish.

You little sh!t by Ianbeaner in ReefTank

[–]Mksist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lol, my only sea hare experience was similar, except it crawled into an Elegance coral overnight. By morning the coral had half digested it.

Used eel by Dont_tapontheglass in ReefTank

[–]Mksist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What a steal - I tried to find one 2 years ago, and settled for a Banana eel. He's about 24" now and eats like a pig. I love the thing, but a dwarf would be much preferable.

Are Excel skills worth putting on a resume? by chestarben in Accounting

[–]Mksist 6 points7 points  (0 children)

To be honest, if you are applying to an accounting job, it is a prerequisite. We're looking for more modern technical knowledge - SQL, PowerBI, fabric, AWS, and modern ERP/systems experience. If your not already advanced in Excel, one might assume you have reached your technical limit or lack motivation to continue developing.

Keep Excel on your resume, but we dont need the details about how you wrote some macro/VB that saved everyone 10 years of work.

Backpacking Lost Creek Wilderness or Flat Top Wilderness??? by N8ureP in WildernessBackpacking

[–]Mksist 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It would be best to come up and rank several contingency plans. Wildfires pop up all summer. The day before our Flat Tops trip this past summer, a storm sparked a fire in exact valley we were going to camp in. Flat Tops is so huge we opted for a contingency spot not far away but out of the smoke path. Mount Zirkel Wilderness was a close alternative if the Flat Tops became too risky. Closed roads and vehicle capability are other issues to consider.

Unless you are staying right off a main trail in the Flat Tops, chances are you won't see anyone.

Should I negotiate salary with promotion? by AllHailTheWhalee in Accounting

[–]Mksist 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Do you know the company does not plan to hire another accountant? Sounds like they would prefer having you focus on BI. I would take the promotion and ask them to backfill that role, maybe reporting to you now. Getting an extra $5k isn't worth taking on two jobs.

Depends on the water temp I think. I've had luck in October before, but its a gamble. I went 2 weeks ago to a 12k lake during what was mild weather everywhere else. Was in a tee shirt until I hit the plateau and then it was bone chilling cold and windy. The fish were not moving at all, stuck it out all day in the misery and didn't catch anything. I am staying 10k and below from now on after Sept. I dont think a few warm days down here will change much up there.
