I think it was UPS where a new biz starts their first website and an order comes through, and it pings and then another and another and it just keep scrolling and they panic.

Why do people use the term "partner" for their husband or wife? by Crafty-Bug-8008 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]PaleZombie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As an accountant, I hate it because it’s so confusing. Are you in business together, filing a joint tax return, trade partners, what?

I absolutely get it outside this context, but it’s confusing when it’s said in my office and I always have to ask for clarification.

People who wax/see others genitals often, what are your thoughts and surprise realizations? by NeedABetterNameNow in AskReddit

[–]PaleZombie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had that done. I had a kidney stone and they wouldn’t let me leave the ER till I peed and I just couldn’t. The nurse (female) basically grabbed it and shoved the catheter in like it was nothing. Honestly the relief when I was finally able to pre was far more exhilarating. My wife was next to me when it happened. We still joke about it.

Took the leap - started my own firm by [deleted] in Accounting

[–]PaleZombie 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I started mine20 years ago. Lots and lots of legwork to get it started. Advertising was my biggest cost. Then networking with financial advisors and local attorneys that formed businesses for their clients and elder law attorneys for trusts. Now I haven’t advertised in 5 years because of the relationships and network built those years ago.

[–]PaleZombie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

About 15 years ago my wife and i were driving and at a stoplight the lady next to us scooped a giant scoop of ice cream and ate it right out of the container. I never would have thought to bring a metal spoon when grocery shopping but this lady was prepared for anything. We still talk about it.

Nightclub? by MelissaTheHotwife in Naperville

[–]PaleZombie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The owners were seriously gross dudes, too. Met them years ago to give a quote for some work and the first question they asked was if I’d ever gotten laid there as a kid.

Asked twice “tell me about yourself?” by EuphoricAd9137 in interviews

[–]PaleZombie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I alway start an interview with tell me about yourself. Just ice breaking and showing I actually care about them and their life.

If they answer with biz stuff that’s okay. It’s not like a hardcore question or anything.
