It’s even worse in California, especially now that there’s a federal deduction limit of $10K. It’s one of the reasons that I’m hesitant to buy anything right now. And if not for Prop 13, it’d be so much worse.
Jeez PGP is really bringing these onion ninja articles lately. I’m sorry you’re going through this and it’s not fair to you what your dad did (or didn’t do) when you were a kid. Just know that when you’re an adult, you get to choose who you have a relationship with and what kind of relationship you have with them and that includes your dad.
Look on the bright side though: he taught you what not to do as a father, which is arguably just as important as what to do.
I was just getting at the fact that there’s a lot more than just checking prior year to current year numbers in audit. It’s kind of like someone asking what an engineer does and him saying “I do math” as a response. Well yeah…but there’s also much more than that.
“What auditing means is this: I look at a company’s numbers from last year and then do it again with this years numbers and pray that everything balances out.”
That…that is absolutely not what auditing is. Your friend is just a second year so what she said described is a typical first/second year task (analytical procedures), but it’s not what audit really is.
Auditing is basically ensuring that whatever financial presentation a client is providing (financial statements to its investors, compliance statement to a lender, etc.) is reasonably accurate. I say “reasonable” because you’re usually not expected to provide absolute assurance on accuracy.

What the fuck is it with people thinking they should date someone they’re not attracted to? That relationship won’t go anywhere. She’s not the girl of your dreams if you don’t constantly want to bone her.
You assumed that your friend would bail on you because you were running late and then you bailed on him because of something some random teenagers said? That’s a new level of douchiness and insecurity, even for you.
And? If you’re an entry level employee, yeah that’s worrisome. But if you have some years of experience under your belt and it would take a substantial amount of time and money to replace you, it’s not a bad thing to let a company know that if they don’t treat you well or compensate you accordingly, you may leave.
That thought never crossed anyone’s mind because people weren’t drinking to get drunk, but rather as a result of all the toasts (Russian celebrations have lots of toasts).
With that said, I, my girlfriend and two of my female cousins split three bottles of tequila and we’re pretty proud of that accomplishment.
My cousin got married in the fall and she didn’t have a typical open bar, but instead had some bottles on each table of 12. The bottles consisted of a fifth of vodka, a fifth of tequila, two fifths of different types of whiskey, and a few bottles of wine. If a table ran out of a bottle, you could just ask for more. I thought it was a great idea and we all got pretty wasted, but not black out wasted.
Never understood the hype about any fast food burger – whether it’s In N Out, Whataburger, Five Guys, etc. I tried Whataburger when I was in Texas last year and it was…a burger. Nothing that mindblowing. Same with In N Out – I usually get a double double mustard grilled and it’s good, but again, not mindblowing.
If I want a solid burger, I head down to the mom n pop diner a few blocks away for their 2/3 lb. burger with bacon and a side of curly fries. That’s always amazing.
Exactly. Take the title bump and start looking elsewhere. Once you get an offer from somewhere else with the higher pay that you deserve, take the offer letter to your current company and ask them to match it. If they don’t, jump ship.
Ah, no. It was because he pulled a pretty dick move and got whatever is the opposite of work brownie points. But I can see how it can be interpreted your way as well.
1.You are a brave, brave man with balls the size of coconuts.
2. Your company is a piece of shit for doing this and Annie is one of the biggest tools out there.
3. You might want to update your resume.

So I’m assuming you guys won’t have a Keurig on your wedding registry?
Don’t feel too bad about #4. In way too many places, making six figures is an average salary.
Alright, I’ll take the L on this.

“Sick days mean relaxing and early bedtime, so let’s get snuggled back up on the couch.”
This sounds amazing. I think I need to take a sick day, it’s been a while.

That’s quite the case of retail therapy.

That’s exactly why I wrote my third point.
3 things:
1.You are a brave, brave man with balls the size of coconuts.
2. Your company is a piece of shit for doing this and Annie is one of the biggest tools out there.
3. You might want to update your resume.
True. Also, an Olympic gold medal is only worth about $577, but think of all the sponsor money you can get as a result of your newfound Twitter fame.
