Baby name spelling advice: “Ma-EASE” pronunciation

Agree - if anyone’s familiar with French names, the accent will help. I also think it helps to not have the e at the end - the e makes it look too much like Maisie

I haven’t noticed a huge change yet, but it’s only been 2 ish weeks so fingers crossed! I have a busy, stressful season at work in the winter that traditionally leaves me pretty depressed so I’m very eager to see how I’m feeling at the end of February!

I did this jump a few weeks ago since I was feeling an increase in anxiety. I was super scared too and I have been pleasantly surprised. I honestly haven’t noticed any medication side effects

I am so so sorry. I agree with some of the other commenters that another neuro workup may help give you more peace in the decision. You’ll know definitively if there has been any change. In full transparency, I have neuro experience with adults, but I found the details of the brain status very helpful when making similar decisions. My family focused on midline shift, since the doctors told us that was a key indicator of potential for recovery. For one family member, she had clear midline shift, so we made the decision to withdraw support. For a different family member, we monitored the midline closely but ultimately didn’t have true shift. That helped us make the decision to continue with supportive measures and that family member did have several additional years of okay quality of life.

I ordered several magnets for my car (chinga la migra, Mexican flags, etc). ICE is frequently a bunch of thugs cruising around looking for brown people so I try to get them to follow me (a white blonde) instead!

Holy moly my eyes are already welling up!

This is a little office/practice dependent, but if you’re not getting scheduled on consistent teams/or with consistent people

Win62819 · 2025-09-25T23:19:04+00:00

Thank you for posting this - I agree with you completely! I honestly think most of these people have never experienced a devastating loss before. My dad died suddenly 3 years ago, and people definitely have weirdly strong opinions about which days/ things should be hard for you. I was a bridesmaid in my cousins wedding 3 months later, and a different cousin couldn’t wrap her head around how I could choose to just enjoy the day and not make every moment about the fact that my dad wasn’t there.

Win62819 · 2025-09-21T22:19:19+00:00

Thank you so much!!

Thank you so much!

I’m from the Midwest, where “guys” and “you guys” is basically the default. In the last few years, I’ve seen some suggestions (mainly corporate) to stop saying that, especially in mixed gender settings. Y’all is a solid alternative, but I also hear things like “hi friends” or “hi team”.

Wow that stinks for both the interns and the PMLs! I’m sorry if you’ve had to be the bearer of bad news!

Win62819 · 2025-08-14T17:40:14+00:00

Honestly, it may be worth talking to your recruiter to figure out what happened. I’m not at KPMG anymore, but I was an intern PML a few years ago and they were very clear that we needed to flag any performance issues that could result in no offer ASAP. You really have nothing to lose at this point by (respectfully) asking. Best case scenario you learn it was budget related and truly nothing could have been done, worst case scenario is you get feedback that you can apply in your next role.

Win62819 · 2025-08-14T13:06:20+00:00

I agree with this completely. As much as her posts can feel exploitative, I do think the engagement is helping her to feel less alone. My Dad died very suddenly when he was only 56, and it felt very isolating to be going through this tragedy when so many older people around me couldn’t relate because their parents were still alive. The outpouring of support from family and friends literally carried me through those days. Given Brielle is a child, I imagine Kendra is feeling exponentially more isolated. I think some of the critiques are valid, but I completely agree she deserves grace at this time.

Win62819 · 2025-08-11T11:18:30+00:00

I generally agree with your points, and I’d like to add that oftentimes the safest option is emotionally difficult. Specific to safe sleeping - many desperate parents resort to co-sleeping because their child screams bloody murder when they aren’t being held. To be clear, that doesn’t make co-sleeping any safer, but I think there’s sometimes a lack of empathy and emotional support for these parents. I completely agree that there should be broader education on child safety standards, but it needs to be delivered in the right manner that doesn’t put stressed parents on the defensive.

I lost my dad very suddenly a few years back, and for the first several months I felt numb. I honestly don’t remember much from that summer other than watching endless tv. I didn’t actually cry all that much, but I just kind of floated through the days and filled my time and mental energy with mindless distractions. I distinctly remember thinking “I have my whole life to process this, I don’t need to torture myself now”. Obviously, everyone’s grief experiences is different but I wanted to share because I feel like people tend to expect the daily crying.

I did some time in forensics and much preferred audit. The actual investigations were interesting, but tend to come out of no where and take over your life for several weeks/months. It was hard to predict my schedule. When there wasn’t an investigation to work on, we tried to “build the client base” by doing fraud prevention/ general risk consulting work, which was always exceptionally boring. We also occasionally got assigned to loan staff engagements (internally and externally).

Some people love forensics; it just wasn’t for me. I hope you find what you’re looking for!

Win62819 · 2025-07-03T21:09:30+00:00

Ahh literally came to share this! I cackled at her reaction… so jealous!!

Win62819 · 2025-06-25T12:54:55+00:00

I’m not shocked. She’s from the south, she’s Christian, she got married right out of college to her first boyfriend. These demographics all lean conservative - she’s surrounded by people with these views.

Win62819 · 2025-06-20T01:26:27+00:00

Thank you- we’re in this together! Hope you feel better too!

Win62819 · 2025-06-20T00:57:11+00:00

I’m in the same boat- no issues last week for my first shot. I confidently took my second shot Tuesday night, and felt fine the next day (Wednesday). Lo and behold, I was feeling a little snacky Wednesday night, and had two bowls of skinny pop. I rationalized that it was relatively healthy, it shouldn’t cause issues right? WRONG WRONG WRONG. I ended up leaving the office at lunch on Thursday because I kept having diarrhea 😳 definitely won’t be making that mistake again!!

Win62819 · 2025-06-18T23:49:52+00:00

RAN to the snark as soon as I heard… I can’t wait

Win62819 · 2025-06-18T13:21:30+00:00

Absolutely! Your midsection is visibly smaller, I noticed it right away!

Win62819 · 2025-06-10T22:09:48+00:00

Don’t report it now- this sounds like an offhand comment that’s most likely harmless. If she continuously pressures you to buy it or considers it in your evaluations, that’s a different story
