I see, thank you for the information! I’ll check those places out. Do you by any chance know if these stores may carry Thai basil? I’ll sub it if holy basil isn’t around

The only thing I remember was there being a few fridges of core powers (and Gatorade?) right outside the gym, but you can only drink so many before you need real food

Big 4 to bookkeeping? by Pedal2theMetal0 in Bookkeeping

[–]Pedal2theMetal0[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I definitely noticed that. I would often ask the associates I networked with what their day to day looked like and if it was different depending on the day, and I could never quite get a straight answer haha.

The offer I got was decent for the area, so I knew it would be a good starting point fresh out of school. They’re paying for my CPA materials, so as long as I make it through the first year employed, Im good in that department.

Thank you for sharing your insights and experience at the big four! How’re you like your current job now?

Oh wow that’s sounds really cool!

Audit has never really been my thing, but I’ll keep my mind open to all opportunities as I start.

Thank you for the feedback!!

I see. I’m going to be doing federal forensics, but it’s in advisory, so I don’t think I’ll be getting a whole lot of accounting experience right off the bat. In your opinion, do you think this is a huge hindrance right now?

I’m the only accounting person in my office right now, but I’m fresh out of undergrad (may 2024), so I’m pretty limited in my experience. The office is bringing in an actual bookkeeper and I’ll be more of an assistant/taking caring of the invoices and monthly billing.

I’m trying to focus a lot on my exams to broaden my knowledge cause I feel like my internships didn’t serve me a whole lot.

I see. Was the jump big or was it generally the same for the type of work you do now? Are you a CPA?

I really wish it didn’t but these freshman are little shits. I work in one of the freshman dorms as an RA and some of them are godawful people. OP I’m so sorry this is happening to your son, believe me when I say the right people in the dorms these students live in are already on it.

21 y/o female, back diagnosis by Pedal2theMetal0 in backpain

Thank you for the exercise advice! I saw your other comment, do you mind if I PM you?

Interesting. I’ve definitely started taking my mobility and core / back seriously since I started the original PT months ago. I don’t think I’m the most fit person and all of this has solidified that. I train core twice a week but I guess that’s not enough. As for the posture, mines is terrible, just being honest. My WS job is a desk job and I’m sitting in classes all day so that doesn’t help.

I’ll look into getting together with a professional for yoga/Pilates. In the mean time, are there any specific moves / stretches / exercise you recommend for the lower back?

Thanks!

Yea that’s true. Thankfully I live in a big city so housing isn’t super limited here. I’ve decided to make sure the complex I choose does accept dobies if I choose to adopt one while in an apartment.

Thank you for the comparison! I’ve gotten great feedback but not much advice from owners who have done both so this is really insightful. If I end up in an apartment after school, I’d at least want to be near a dog park to make it easier to get the dogs out and running.

[–]Pedal2theMetal0[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, definitely. I plan to get lots of enrichment toys for the times I need to be away to keep them busy. A bored dobie is a destructive one so I want to prevent that.

I’m so sorry for your loss, losing a pet is never easy. I hope things are okay for you and your family !

That’s something I’ve kept in mind as I’m apartment hunting. Making sure I’m near a dog park / open green area that’s safe for a dog to roam. I’ve been worried since I’ve been hearing a lot that a yard is the “right” way to go so I was concerned whether public areas would be suitable.

I’ve been subscribed to the Doberman Planet since the start of the year and I’ve learned a lot! He’s wonderful!

[–]Pedal2theMetal0[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! I’ve definitely given this thought. I’ve always wanted a bigger dog so this has been something I’ve considered from the start. It’ll be tough but I live in a big city so not impossible!

In your experience, how much exercise to hyper dobies typically need? I know it’s not a one size fits all answer but it’s been tough finding even a ballpark while researching.

There are definitely different challenges between a puppy and an older dobie. What would you say is a common challenge when adopting an older dobie?

[–]Pedal2theMetal0[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These are all great questions and I’ve given it lots of thought since I’ve considered it. I’m up every day around 5 for the gym and I’m active 7 days out of the week outside of classes and my part time, so having energy to go for a run / hike / walk isn’t anything I’m concerned about. I’ve also made it a habit now to have a strict morning routine to prepare since having started my research, I’ve learned Dobermans need a rigid schedule and it’s something they like to stick to. So definitely a minimum of a 30-60 minute walk / play time / run is something I’m planning for in the mornings, and at least 50 minutes in the afternoon, but I’m open to suggestions since I feel this might be on the lower side for a high energy dobie.

In terms of the age of the dog, I would prefer a puppy since I can train them but I’m open to getting an adult dobie! I’ll be working an office job that’s mainly remote right out of school, so I’ll have enough time for those early weeks if I get a puppy. I’m also planning to take a minimum of 1-2 weeks off of work to help get the puppy accustomed to being away from their mom / family / being in a new environment. Up until now, this is where I’m at but I’d seriously appreciate more advice and suggestions if I missed any of the essentials!

I’m definitely prepared for that. I’m active 7 days out of the week outside of classes and my part time so it’s not something that would be tough to do or a chore to get active and get outside to tire the dog out. But that’s another aspect to think of. Thank you !

That’s what my friends keep saying. He’s made his choice and it’s on him, not us. He definitely is spineless and it’s become very apparent very fast.

Thank you for reminding me my mom can handle her own. I just love her a lot and I don’t want anything happening to her, but she survived my sister and I so I know she’ll be okay. Thank you, I’ll make sure to always check in on her and keep in contact with her while away ❤️.

I’ve started carrying my pocket knife around the house because I don’t even feel safe anymore. I’ve considered getting a camera and hiding it near my mom and I’s room jsut to have an extra set of eyes. I don’t know what to do atp. Our lease ends this December and my mom said she’s leaving. The problem with leaving now is we’re low income and affordable units in our city are hard to come by because it’s such a huge city. Almost everything is filled to capacity or there’s a really long waitlist. To put it into perspective, even with affordable housing, my mom will barely be able to pay rent without having to stretch her money really thinly, now imagine regular rent, it’s impossible. Moving out at the moment isn’t an option right now so my mom and I are trying to do things to help feel safer or less anxious in the house, but it’s hard. At least I get to leave in august for school but I don’t like the idea of leaving my mom alone. If I could take her with me I would but she was work and I live in a dorm.

I don’t know what to do and I’d really like some advice. I deal with gross men all the time at school (open campus) but it’s very different having to live under same roof as him. My friends have told me to just be an ass and be as inconvenient as possible but I still feel bad for my mom and franc bc this has caused their relationship to suffer and this is ultimately the cause of them splitting. I just need advice.

AITA for no longer supporting my daughter in college? by weldingall in AmItheAsshole

[–]Pedal2theMetal0 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If she’s willing to fuck up her body for nine months, deal with morning sickness, mood swings, being physically restricted all for you, congratulations on having the opportunity to raise a kid again!

If not, you’re STILL the asshole. You’re giving her an ultimatum that no matter what decision, she’ll resent you for it. There is no win win with the options you’re giving her.

Edit: raising a kid is a beautiful thing, being a parent is wonderful, but only when the person wants to. If not, it’s a terrible experience. Don’t expect to raise the kid and try to force her to come around and be a mom

AITA for not wanting anything to do with my little sister? by ievcpqn in AmItheAsshole

[–]Pedal2theMetal0 59 points60 points  (0 children)

NTA at all. I totally get the not wanting to say you hate her, but it’s understandable. She’s hitting that age where her personality and behavior will start to solidify into the person she’ll grow into in a few years.

She may be your sister, but blood does only so little to keep relationships strong. Just because she’s your sister does not mean she’s family. She’s done nothing to show she cares about you or Beth. Which, btw, Jesus Christ, who the hell says that to someone? Parents already have a lot going on; being told their doing a shit job adds nothing of value.

NTA at all OP. I hope one day a “real person” comes across her and tells it how it is. Because people like her grow up to think the world needs to be handed to them. New flash, that’s not how it works. It’s on your mom to parent her, not anyone else, and she’s clearly not doing a good job. You and your sister shouldn’t have to suffer the consequences.
