I feel like your partner/significant other is supposed to be that person you can confide in and feel comfortable enough to tell them anything and you know, just get that feeling that they can be there for you when you feel down. I don’t get that feeling with who I’m with. I mean..I guess it all comes down the fact that you’re on your own through everything. But damn..it sure is a lonely feeling sometimes.

I KNOW it wasn’t one of us over-40s that put a song in the new iTunes ad with the lyric “I’m not regular.”

Best advice for studying for the CPA while working full time? Really struggling with the balancing act. Thank you!

For those of you actively looking do you have a resume that "translates" your roles and responsibilities into a more widely understood wording? Especially for non accounting jobs?

Asking because I'm considering using a resume writing service to help max my chances of getting a foot in the door elsewhere

3 years GT Audit - manage small team, manage engagements,

2 years Industry Accounting - manage small team, improve monthly processes, month end close, reconciliations, generate financial reports, generate budget and forecasts

For all internal auditors, what is your yoe and salary progression?

We did this recently for IT audit so I want to see non IT audit

A colleague and I have been getting a lot of nudges about ACD positions, so I’m doing my homework here. What should my salary expectations be, and what % of my time should I expect to spend on coaching/mentoring?

My sister wants me to pay for my father's hospitalization and related costs

My parents planned a trip to the US and never told me. My sister helped then plan. In the US, my father fell sick and had to be hospitalized. They did have travel insurance but there were still a lot of out of pocket expenses and other expenses related to rescheduling tickets, etc.

My sister contacted me once she got the bills and told me "as their son" I should be paying for everything.

Hey ladies… Medical question. Just had my period twice in a month and I don’t know if I should be concerned. I have been under a lot of stress during the last months and sleeping less than I used to. Has anyone experienced this before? I know that it is not normal but when should I start being worried?

What made you realize your LTR was finally over?

What do you think about have a relationship with coworkers?

Do you know story of people who got burned because of it?

I’m jealous of all the support & praise Simone Biles is getting for stepping away from competition to focus on her mental health. I’m on the edge of my breaking point and wish I could press pause and step away with the same support.

why does it feels so wrong to take sick leave when you are like, sick?

Hit me today my new friend lives pay check to pay check and money is a major stress- er for her . I feel like almost guilty for ever comparing to myself or others about my job or how I wish I would have went down another career road. People are struggling right now. Sure they can land a job but cost of everything . I guess I’m naive but life is just so hard

Looking for a lady to take out this weekend, anyone in Atlanta near ponce ?

My son’s birthday is this Saturday and I’ve already eaten half of the candy from his piñata. I’m a little nervous if he’ll notice when it breaks open.

I'm in my early thirties and i feel that I'm not financially literate enough and don't want to put money in the stock market. It seems like a gamble to me, although i really wish i knew how to make money grow rather than let it sit in my account where i know it's losing value

The older I get the more I realize I’m probably destined to be alone. Everyone is happy around me and I’m just bleh. In the famous words of SpongeBob “I’m ugly and I’m proud!” 🤣

You’re ugly and have no vibe

Do I reach out to the grandparents and let them know they will have a grandchild? I don’t want or need anything, am financially capable and have a support system but the father is gone(recently passed) and this surprise pregnancy has turned things upside down.

Has anyone considered Trump might have body snatched/get outted Kanye? 🤔💡

As someone who doesn’t formally celebrate any holidays in December, I find politically correct holiday messages so cringe/awkward. I would rather you just say Merry Christmas/Happy Hanukkah or whatever it is you celebrate and move on. Someone singled me out during a meeting and said

“happy holiday season [my name] if you celebrate anything…I actually don’t know if you celebrate anything but if you don’t celebrate anything then enjoy this off season at work for the next two or so weeks…”

I really want to flirt with a married M partner. Judge me all you want

Probably wrong bowl to ask his, but since this is the most active bowl - want to copy and paste to ask here too... Recently I started to use ovulation test strips and found out my ovulation level is always low throughout the entire cycle. My period cycle has been 50 days stably in the past 15 years.

I couldn't sleep since I found out that. Before I see a doctor, just want to ask for opinions here to mentally prepare myself. Does that mean I'm anovulatory?

In the vein of moving this bowl back into being lighthearted and away from the nut who’s being spamming it all night with posts about politics…ladies, feel free to slide into my DMs. 🤭🤫🫣😊

what are my fave bowl fishies up to tn???

Slightly more serious than some of the ones here. In college, I was a huge party-goer/ alcohol/ drugs/ sleeping around etc etc. One night I went too far and did something I will forever regret. It was and has been the stupidest, darkest thing I have ever done, and my friends at the time rightfully had had enough and stopped talking to me to support the victim. I felt so guilty and did my best to apologise, but there's little I could do.

(Cont. In a comment).

I was pushed out of a firm several years ago and I found out a guy who harassed me there just got promoted to manager. Corporate is BS

I think I’m cooler than some people and I really hate that about myself but I think when people don’t put effort into their clothes and how they look I judge them and don’t want to associate with them. Like why can’t we all have great personalities while also looking fly! I know this is judgmental, but this is my intrusive thought and thus, my confession.
