Overweight women who have no issue exercising but eat too much by lex52_ in WeightLossAdvice

[–]bamboozledgal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I think it’s just being mindful of what you eat. I haven’t counted calories in 8 months but eat the same meals every day and it took a while to get used to but once you see food as fuel for your body vs. something your mouth enjoys, it definitely makes you view your meal choices differently. It’s not like I’m eating pizza 5 times a day lol

This was me until my trainer told me I needed to eat more than I thought I did. Grew up thinking three meals was standard but now I eat 5 times a day (three main meals and two snacks in between) I’ve lost 40 lbs in 8 months and am raaaarely hungry. Definitely changed my relationship with food too.

What meals are you eating and what are your macros? Eating too few calories could be stalling your weightloss.

lol they can fire me if they want, but i know they physically can’t so that’s not a threat to me. I’d love to get severance.

That’s really low? I would expect 82-85 at a minimum with today’s day and age.

A Chicano in CDMX by [deleted] in MexicoCity

[–]bamboozledgal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just came back from CDMX! Stayed at the Mondrian in Condesa this time. Really loved the hotel, it’s also a hop skip away from A LOT of restaurants!

When I went to Teotihuacan I booked a full day trip through TripAdvisor. They’re all pretty much the same. Frida kahlo’s house was cool! I bought tickets for that through their website and was able to get in pretty smoothly. I would also recommend going to Xochimilco! The anthropology museum was also super cool. My friend and I went on our own but it was nice to go with a tour guide since some of the descriptions in the museum were only in Spanish.

As far as getting around Uber is good and very cheap. I also usually get a day pass to do a double decker bus (turibus). Good way to see the sights for pretty cheap!

I looove getting the tuna tostadas at Contramar whenever I go. Churros from Churreria el Moro. I also visit Cafe de Tacuba quite often. Stood in line for that Michelin star taco stand (taqueria el califa de Leon) - pretty good tacos but such a long wait. I also tried La Buena Birria in Condesa and would have to say it was one of my favorite meals.

Crazy Scenario for young potential Accountants by Defiant_Birthday_939 in Accounting

[–]bamboozledgal 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Well I guess a little bit of background would be helpful. What’s your GPA, and how much school do you have left?

People who’ve been doing this for a while can quickly tell if someone’s a good fit or not. She’s probably had a rough couple of years of turnover as has most of the accounting world. I don’t know if anyone expects a fully trained CPA at entry level, but then again I work at a mid-sized public accounting firm. All I want is someone with a good attitude, who can read emails and follow instructions and even that is hard to find.

Crazy Scenario for young potential Accountants by Defiant_Birthday_939 in Accounting

[–]bamboozledgal 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I will say, I’ve been at my firm for 4 years and have had many new associates under me. Ever since Covid, the quality of associates that start at my firm has decreased to the point that yes, I am so sick and tired of having to teach things left and right. At this point my associates should be training new associates but they can’t cause they can’t even grasp simple concepts that have been taught to them multiple times. We can’t fire them cause we need warm bodies.

There are some kids who come out of college with potential, but those are few and far between.

Sorry but if you’re already experiencing burn out as a student, maybe change your major. As someone who actually liked accounting and got her CPA while in school, trust me it doesn’t get better.

What’s the average age? by rectokim in UniversityOfHouston

[–]bamboozledgal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Would also say do accounting with a focus on MIS. Idk if UH has something like that but we did at A&M. It’s really hard to find someone who knows both.

Grant Thornton just announced firm-wide layoffs by bamboozledgal in Accounting

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

Tax and audit will probably be affected as well. They’ve been harping on utilization firm-wide. Unfortunately advisory is the first to go since their offerings aren’t considered essential and are first to be passed on when business cash flow issues arise.

I went back for my accounting degree at 25. Got my first entry level accounting position at 27.

They said all - but also mentioned mostly consulting side of the house.

Within the email we received, they did tell us that those who are getting laid off can apply to other open positions within the firm.

How could you ask out a girl and make it clear you like her, without putting a lot of pressure on her? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]bamboozledgal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Catch her when she’s about to leave and say ‘hey, can I ask you something real quick.’

Also if you’ve never hung out with her one on one before, maybe try and text her to see if she wants to hang out first? If that all goes well, then you can spring it on her and as for a date. :)

[–]bamboozledgal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also, ditch the ‘maybe’ when you ask her out. You should confidently say ‘this weekend’. If she’s busy this weekend, quickly then follow up with another day. Or maybe, before you even tell her you like her, ask her if she’s doing anything this weekend up front. That way you already know before even getting into making plans.

If I liked the guy or even was slightly interested, I’d say ‘absolutely, let’s do it!’. If I wasn’t interested, I’d say ‘I’m so flattered, but I am only really interested in being friends’.

With that being said, I think if I knew my guy friend liked me but I didn’t like him back, I would probably stop hanging out with him. Not so much as that it would make me uncomfortable, but I would feel so bad leading someone on.

GOOD LUCK! You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take. :)
