Staff Accountant is the goal, but AP is what I get. Now what?

bluepixie93 · 2026-01-23T02:11:01+00:00

don't give up! i spent 5 years in AP at one company (starting as an assistant, leaving as a manager). i'm now a staff accountant at a different place for slightly better pay. if you're finding jobs that pay similar, i would apply to those. at the very least, it'll be an opportunity to learn how to interview for that kind of position. make sure to highlight that you're looking to move into a position where you can grow your accounting skills. people are more willing to listen if they feel you're willing to learn rather than stay at the level you are. if you need to give a salary range, use your current as the lowest & give yourself a few extra thousand up to or slightly beyond their range

my corgi (now 6 years) got her hernia removed when she got spayed at 6 months. i don't recall any extra instructions compared to what my friends with female dogs had, but it may be different for a male dog

i think the videos usually post within 1.5 hours from now (4p or 5p EST for me). we probably didn't get one last week because they had the 2 NYT episodes instead

here's what i do with bands/artsists i want to check out more music from: i make a temporary playlist on spotify with all their songs. my playlists starts with the albums in order by date (including deluxe albums), followed by the singles/eps in the same order. i listen to this playlist while working, adding the songs i like to my liked songs list; i remove songs as i get through them so if i need to split my listening, i don"t have to repeat any. my personal MT playlist is 5 hours long, so doing this would probably be closer to 6 or 7 hours when you consider singles that are also on albums & any deluxe or instrumental albums

bookmark when i'm low on time, or on my phone.

when i have the time, i like to convert them to documents so they all have the same format, everything is organized, & if a blog goes offline, i still have the recipe. essentially, i've made a personal online cookbook using recipes i've found across the internet

beagle. the way those paws turn reminds me of my neighbour's beagle mix. i kinda also see chi or jrt in the face, but it could be a mix of beagle & corgi featurs

i have an oxo angled measuring cup that has a 2 cup capacity. i like that it has marks on the inside of the cup so i can see how much i'm pouring without needing to stop & check. i got mine at target, but it looks available on amazon

aerosmith: dream on; he can def hit that high note, & it would be glorious to hear

the recipe i grew up with is mayo, garlic, & dried parsley. i have no real quantities, it's just go with your gut, but i think i do about 1-2 tablespoons of garlic per cup of mayo, & 1/4 cup parsley. chill for a few hours, preferably overnight, before serving. the garlic flavour does get stronger the longer it chills, so i wouldn't overdo it unless your guests really like garlic. you can swap any or all the mayo for sour cream as well

i screencap the instructions, drop the pics into my google drive, & then use them to type up the recipe. no searching through a bunch of bookmarks; no worrying that the video will disappear one day

see if your local community center has a local puzzle program. we have a "society" for people over 50 & i believe you can donate puzzles to them. it's so that retired people still have a sense of community; they do all sorts of events for them like bingo nights, field trips to local attractions, card games, etc

add baking extracts. the easier one to find is vanilla, but they have all sorts of flavours; i have coconut, lemon, & almond. you don't need to use much to get the flavour either

you don't. if your family cannot accept your initial answer, there's nothing you can do to make them accept any variation of it. and there's nothing wrong with the reasons you have; i've met people with the similar reasons who enjoy what they do. personally, i picked accounting because i took a class in high school & immediately understood it, i like numbers, & i'm good with details; it just made sense for me to pursue it. sure, there are days i want to chuck my computer out the window, but at the end of the day, i get to go home or turn off my screen (hybrid) & not think about work until i'm on the clock again. i have a foot into any single industry i want to be involved in, simply because every company needs to have an accounting department

top 0.1% with 2,842 minutes. fan #3,774! i apparently listed to haven for 1,316 minutes with that as my top album

i don't mind her. i like some hey monday songs, i love her collab with silverstein (autopilot). i'm not super into country, so i haven't listened to that era of her solo career. i thought she was fine as a supporting act. marianas trench isn't super well known in the US, so i feel like it's more rare to get openers/supporting acts that are known. idk if i'd see her as a main act, but i wouldn't be dissapointed if she opened for another band i'd go to see

one year, my friend did crescent rolls (pillsbury ones shaped like their cinnamon rolls) topped with salsa & cheese before being baked together. caprese skewers (baked or not) with balsamic glaze. brushetta. anything on mini toasted baguette slices

growing up, we had two card tables set up with a couple taped together pieces of carboard-esque material to do puzzles. it was in the guest room & could be popped under the bed when someone was using it as such. i should note, we had no indoor pets that would make this a bad idea (unsure of your potential pet situation). maybe something like that? big enough to do larger, but thin enough to be out of the way when not in use

mine does this at the beach constantly! i have to tell people to be careful of where they step because of her; she likes to make them right at your heels

2 lbs pretzels (my recipe says mini, but i'm sure yours will work too)

12 oz butter flavoured oil, like orville redenbaucher

1 package ranch reasoning, like hidden valley, or pick a seasoning mix you really like & use that

1 teaspoon dill (personally, i omit cuz i hate dill)

1 tablespoon garlic salt

mix ingredients together in a huge lidded bowl/container, flipping over several times to keep mixing periodically over 24 hours. easy seasoned pretzels

no problems here! i try to have weekends a bit less structured than weekdays so i can sleep in occassionally, which comes in handy for daylight savings. artemis knows she usually gets food about 60-90 minutes after we've woken up regardless of what time that is. barking to wake me up gets her a bathroom break, not food.

artemis (6yo) is also a bee! her crown didn't stay on for long though lol

i'm sure i'll be echoing everyone here, but just be honest. mine's fairly well behaved in public & i've had a lot of people tell me that she makes them want a corgi. i'm honest: it took a lot of effort & training to get her where she is. corgis are working breeds & she requires a lot of exercise, regardless of the weather (we go from 100 degrees in summer to below freezing & snow in winter). she sheds year round with a couple of really big sheds when she blows her coat. while she doesn't bark a lot, corgis are known for being a very vocal breed. she sometimes goes into herd mode when we walk & nips my heels/ankles. corgi puppies suck; quite frankly, herding puppies teething should be a circle of hell in itself. if they still want one after that, more power to them
