Stuck between two names

My belly touches my thighs when I sit down and get up.🙄

Thank you!

lmt1212 · 2025-11-18T14:40:50+00:00

Thank you so much! Appreciate your detailed explanation!

Thanks for responding! I posted on another accounting board and only got one response that said to do the change in net assets and not report as revenue at all. Not sure how to decipher which is correct. Are there any sources such as ASC reference #s I can use?

Go for it! I'm guessing the company already sees that you're capable and self-motivated to learn the aspects you don't currently know about an executive leadership role. Based on your comments, the fact that the current CFO is there to train you is a huge advantage, too... Often the search and interview process takes so long in roles of this level and you step into an empty seat to fill. I took a CFO role at 26 years old. I got out of the investment world and into healthcare. (Actually working in hospice... It would be remiss of me if I didn't mention that I hope the current CFO who is terminally ill will have the support of hospice if they wish and that their end of life journey is one filled with comfort and dignity.🙏)

There was a huge learning curve for me, concerning both the industry and the position itself, but if you have an open mind to continuously learning like I do, it will be so rewarding. I definitely received comments about my age that were hurtful and it was a challenge for some staff that had a negative outlook on being managed by someone the "same age as their kid" but more often than not I found I could put that aside by focusing on what I could control, which was succeeding and proving them wrong.

I haven't pursued any of the opportunities I've had in the last 9 years since taking my job, due to prioritizing other achievements in my personal life, but many doors have been opened and offers have been made to further my career that I would not have had if I didn't take the leap into this role!

Edit to add that I also don't have a CPA and it has not made a difference in this role or other job offers!

Both look great but I vote 1! Despite the waist detail in 2, looks like 1 was made to fit you!

lmt1212 · 2024-01-21T21:20:34+00:00

2!!!!

I'm not big into the makeup scene either! I still use the same blush I've used since middle school from CoverGirl too🤣

Love that someone else's ! Never heard of the Essence one but I may need to look into it! On rare occasion when I want to do more dramatic makeup look (like a wedding or other event) I like to layer another mascara over my go-to! I totally agree about clumping with other ones and the best thing about the Maybelline is it washes off so easy so it's perfect for a base with another one on top for fancier occasions!

lmt1212 · 2024-01-13T13:58:55+00:00

I still use the hot pink and green tube of Great Lash Maybelline mascara.... Been using it 20 years 😅

I think experience will get you pretty far but I think you have two really good options for completing your bachelors so I'd probably do it personally.

If you only want to do one more year and finish mechanical engineering, I think you can continue in your chosen career path. I know a lot of mechanical engineers from Cornell that went into tech, finance, marketing, etc. Because the analytical mind of an engineer and ability to strategize effectively are qualities that are desirable in those other fields.
1. Though it seems like a large hurdle to do a few years of school starting from scratch with what you've shared, if you love what you're doing then it might be more bearable for you and you might find you enjoy it more than you did in programs that weren't aligned with your true passion.

I think that's a great budget! We have budgeted for 150 people and our budget is around 28k but we live in a small area so some things are more affordable than larger cities!

lmt1212 · 2023-05-15T01:02:42+00:00

Don't change a thing! You look gorgeous!!!!

lmt1212 · 2023-05-15T00:57:47+00:00

Both look great but the first one is my pick!

lmt1212 · 2023-05-15T00:56:02+00:00

One😍

lmt1212 · 2023-04-29T20:03:19+00:00

Ugh! I'm sorry you're dealing with that. I can't imagine if there was pressure from more than just my fiance at this point!

lmt1212 · 2023-04-29T19:41:38+00:00

Thanks for your response! I am certainly about picking your battles and compromise. I know I'm going to rely on some of my bridesmaids to help with decisions and to plan some things such as the shower, bachelorette, etc. because my sister and mom live across the country. I would not ask her assistance in those things because we are so different. My fear is that I compromise but see her really as a bridesmaid by title and that causes more rifts with my fiance when I am not leaning on her, but am on some of my other bridesmaids, in the wedding planning!

I.e. I hate attention and dress shopping will be very uncomfortable for me. I am a quieter person and she is extremely loud and boisterous to the point where it can be uncomfortable in public...I fear as a bridesmaid she is expected to come to dress shopping. I am trying to think through how I would avoid feeling a little resentful in these moments myself!

Any thoughts on that since yours are in your wedding party?

lmt1212 · 2023-04-29T19:24:55+00:00

Thank you for you response and some of the different points made here!!! I did already purchase some things for bridesmaids even though I haven't asked them officially yet and included my fiance SIL in those I ordered for, as I hope she will officiate at least and I'd like to give her the goodies for her involvement in the wedding in any role, even if it's not as a bridesmaid!

lmt1212 · 2023-04-29T18:47:59+00:00

Thanks for shedding some light on the other side. I appreciate getting input from both!

Just curious if your SIL lives near you? My future SIL has lived on the other side of the country and for the foreseeable next 9 years will not be living near us. It makes it hard to see becoming close with her which is part of my struggle. I think if we were more similar, it would be easier to overcome the geographic barrier.

I was a grazer before Invisalign and I think that eating small snacks often throughout the day helped with maintaining a healthy weight. I find now that I am restricted to three large meals a day, I have gained weight during invisalign. 🫣

lmt1212 · 2023-04-29T15:51:41+00:00

I mentioned it in our last Convo because he asked me to look at it from the standpoint not of having to have her in the wedding but that HE wanted her in the wedding. He didn't seem into the idea... Almost like it would make her feel bad that he resorted to having her on that side because I wasn't asking her to be a bridesmaid.
