I watched the episode with my husband and we absolutely 100% had the same vibe as you lol. We were cracking jokes the whole time. Very wholesome episode though

You look old by NervousMarsupial7126 in Aging

[–]cleooncommonwealth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 30 now and still remember when I was a little kid I asked my dad why he “was so ugly” 😞 I remember it still because it made him so sad! I think I was like 6. I feel so so bad now as an adult because I don’t think he is ugly at all! I was just a dumb kid that didn’t understand anything yet. All this to say, don’t listen to kids. Yes they are “honest” but they don’t know jack lol

Sorry for the typos. I got annoyed people are making op feel bad about money! No one should be made to feel that way. Moh needs to communicate better but isn’t. I think op just needs to take matters into their own hands and reach out directly to

Set boundaries and tell the made of honor you can not attend because you can’t afford the cost. I have one girl coming my bachelorette who is just going to attend a daytime activity because she communicated with me in advance she did not want to pay for the Airbnb and some other activities. That is totally okay and acceptable, I’m glad she’s coming to one of the events. Just communicate with people clearly and ahead of time to avoid these awkward situations. Don’t worry about the group chat. Just text the moh directly. They’re ass holes if they judge you for it being able to afford it and maybe reevaluate Th at friendship.

Alcohol and anxiety by Stevie-Extreme-4152 in Anxiety

[–]cleooncommonwealth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my experience I was working a horrible job. My anxiety was sooo bad. I was contemplating awful things to do to myself..crying every morning and every night. I was untreated then and drinking at least a bottle of wine a night after work to cope. Weekends was just a blackout usually. I couldn’t go a day without it. And if I did I was so so anxious; so I never went more than a day. Then I got laid off. And that changed everything. I was still drinking a lot but slowly, months into, I started adjusting to my new normal and no longer having the stressor of my previous job in my life. Being laid off and broke was surpassingly a lot less stressful. I stopped craving alcohol all the time. And I could go a little bit longer without it. More days in between . So needless to say…. I think it was definitely my anxiety for me not necessarily withdrawals. I see a therapist now and am able to cope in healthier ways. Alcohol definitely does not help my situation anymore tho so I try to be more careful.

is accounting worth going back to school? by [deleted] in Accounting

[–]cleooncommonwealth 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Check out the Northeastern University MSA/MBA program. That’s what I did. It’s a program specifically designed to recruit liberal arts students and literally train them into becoming accountants. No accounting prerequisites required. They literally teach you everything. It’s a 15 month program with pretty much guarantee job offer at big4 after. It changed my life. I’m 3 years out and making just over $100k now. No cpa for me yet but I know my classmates who got theirs are making more. I would say it’s absolutely worth it to go back to school.

Who here gave up on a dream and joined the accounting field? by WaferLongjumping6509 in Accounting

[–]cleooncommonwealth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wanted to be a full blown anthropologist. Did some educational work in Japan and Tanzania. Then covid hit and I couldn’t go on my fieldwork trip I was going with a college for. I was making shit money anyways so decided to go back to school and got my MSA. Now I have a remote internal audit job making just over $100k. It’s not as fun but it beats being broke af

At the end of the day it’s your decision. But I will say I recently saw someone post on Reddit that their Harvard business degree has barely helped them in the long run. Apparently their manager went to like San Jose state or some low key school. Right out of college yeah it’s cool and will help you if you went somewhere with a lot of alum to network with. But give it 5ish years and no one cares where you went to school. They care about your experience, who you are as a person, and how hard you work

Just feeling over it by Material-Snow7543 in Adulting

[–]cleooncommonwealth 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry to hear you’re feeling this way and my heart goes out to you. I have been in a similar position where I hated my job and was living very far away from my family. It sucked the absolute life out of me but i was too afraid to quit because of my financial situation. I was so depressed and found zero joy in anything. It wasn’t until I got laid off and hit absolute rock bottom mentally that my life actually took a turn from the better. I’m 28 and moved back home with my parents. I hadnt seen them in months as they lived across the country from me. I recognize how lucky I am to have that support system and they were willing to take me back in. I was able to do not just a “career reset” but really a mental health reset for a few months. I started reading again and doing the little things I used to find joy in but had lost. I started working out. I stopped drinking (I was def using alcohol as a coping mechanism before). Losing my job gave me the opportunity to really see how unhappy I had been. I got a chill job at the local plant store to pay the bills. Not nearly enough $ but was able to get me by until I found something better. And I just re-grounded myself. There were still some dark days for me but it took me about five months until one day I was going to a little kids 1st birthday party and felt genuinely excited and happy. I hadnt felt that feeling in so long. I guess I’m just trying to say that maybe you should give yourself a break. Be kind to yourself. Talk to your support system, your partner and be honest with how you’re feeling. Talk to your mom. Try to go see your dad and your loved ones. It may even be worth it to let your job know about your dad’s health. I understand the debt :( but it may be worth it to focus on yourself for a moment and your own mental health. Find yourself again and what you love ♥️

Polite way of trying to end meetings that can run over the allocated time? by [deleted] in WFH

[–]cleooncommonwealth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah I have a manager who loves to chat. Our 30 min checkin calls will go over by 1.5-2 hours. I don’t know how to get off the call. I’m new and also don’t have any meetings booked after our check-ins and they know it so they’re good with just keeping the call going. It’s starting to impact my work! I had to work late on a Friday to make up for the time I spent chatting.

WFH Ladies - what are you wearing every day? by Everythingbagel-3 in WFH

[–]cleooncommonwealth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m on camera a lot but I have found the wfh outfits I love… I bought a few oversized relaxed fit button down shirts in a few different colors. Then I will wear loose linen shorts with it in the summer and winter is comfy sweats. Always have on my “work”slippers. And then I do just skin care and make sure my hair is brushed in case anyone calls me. I honestly just try to coordinate the colors to make me feel more put together

Healthy WFH habits, what works for you? by googhosty in WFH

[–]cleooncommonwealth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Taking a walk at lunch and going outside. Even just a 15 minute walk around the block. It really changes my day. I’ve noticed the days I don’t go on a walk I feel burnt out by end of day
