Seriously tho. Traffic is averaging 30... not sure why the fiancé needs to gun it to 45 then slam on the breaks every 10 seconds

Yes - did you see that GIF of LA traffic?

Yep - lived the same thing today on the NJ turnpike

Driving in SoCal sucked today.. too hot and the freeways started getting bad by 11am!!

I drove to LAX from OC at 8am today and it was a piece of cake 👌🏼

Was supposed to go from new jersey to long island. Ditched that and went 2 blocks to a friends house. The reduction in stress compared to prior years is incredible

Took the train to avoid the traffic jam. 3 hours squished into a pretzel to avoid the elbow jabbing and the foot-space thief, and I officially wish I had taken my car.

How would you feel going on vacation with friends who want to bring their kid along too?

My wife is in sales at Mercedes and she has been averaging $200k a year and growing YoY. She loves her job, however she works long days and barely gets time off. We plan on having kids within the next year or two, and it’s highly u likely that she’ll be able to keep her current gig. We want to find a career that allows her to work remote or that at least gives her a better work life balance so that she can see her kids grow up. Should she get certifications to give her a shot at adtech?Too late?

Currently self employed for a year to work on investing. Do I literally need a partner level referral to get back into Audit? I thought there was an accountant shortage.
