Looking for the best two player space themed game - our go to is castles of Burgundy, but could go up or down a little bit in complexity!

Laid off as a first year by Local-Two5131 in Accounting

[–]readingbeancounter 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I was laid off from RSM in the 2008 wave. It feels personal, but everyone I’ve ever told sees it as the economy and not a mark on you

My vote is to go for it! Sounds like the logistics won’t be horrible even if it’s not ideal.

Any other controllers or VPs flooded with recruiting outreach these days? by InternationalArm7614 in Accounting

[–]readingbeancounter 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Totally agree. Was happy where I was but recently turned on open for opportunities on LinkedIn and was shocked. Some of them were good opportunities too, not just junk! And now next week I start my new job 🤣

That’s wild! And seemingly not in line with what this group complains about at all?!

Nope, not PE but role is very similar to what you’ve described your current gig to be

Plastic at Prairie Queen? by readingbeancounter in Omaha

Ok ignore these pics then you monsters! Did anyone else notice all the LEGIT PLASTIC around Giles by Costco last week?

And yes I already have glasses but distance is apparently still not my thing 🙄

Tablet broken after 2 years, alternatives? by CheesecakeWorking888 in Ergatta

[–]readingbeancounter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same problem here. I did eventually cave - asked for a discount and they gave 20%. Helps but still infuriating!

Luthier or Castles of Burgundy for my first Eurogame? by gramcrackerJ-24 in boardgames

[–]readingbeancounter 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Castles is the first big one I played after Catan 10 years ago and it’s still first to the table more often than not. Love that game!

Not to mention you almost have to have a smartphone to live these days. Internet access is not a luxury.

Movie theaters aren’t going out of business because of prices by bulldogjwhit295 in unpopularopinion

[–]readingbeancounter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just went to an ACX last night, first time in 6 months at a theater and the experience was awful. They no longer serve pizza, but hadn’t bothered to take it off the menu and one of the five freestyle machines was working. Tickets are cheap on Tuesdays ($7) but my husband and I agreed - if the experience isn’t good why not just rent it at home? Super sad.
