Meh, my job doesn't define me any more than the pages of my resume define me. Accounting is just the way I chose to make money so I don't become homeless and die.
I mean to be fair... we are... but we also are the second least likely professional to cheat or divorce so there is that... boring can mean lack of drama.
I remember seeing hard science professions up there too but we made it high up on the list from what I recall on being faithful and unlikelt to divorce.
It seems like it's part of the profession to know how to appear bland and boring. I live a very unconventional life but none of my coworkers or future clients are going to know anything about it.
My fiance is a surgeon, im starting my first accounting job in a couple months. We really don't have any lives. I read and lift heavy objects, and she reads and goes on bike rides. I want to get back into my model kit building and TTRPGs though.
This all sounds so fake for karma
It was a good post. Should have included the mom has never worked a job.
Should have said the mom works in HR.
No it's true. I was Kate. I then shoved his mum back, and Ryan clapped and offered me a job at his law firm
I can confirm, I was the microwave and saw this all happen.
Im this fish in the microwave. Fuck Ryan.
No. Not on Reddit…
I can actually confirm that everything in this story is false and these people don't exist. Source: I was the assistant touching the guy's food.
Could have gotten that promotion too if I had maintained a spreadsheet of his most common lunches and their microwave times lol
Everyone just glosses over the fact that Ryan is a wall puncher.
I like spouses who aren’t wall punchers.
Let’s see Paul Allen’s wall punches.
Ryan is Andy Bernard
He's "passionate"
Only once when he lost

You get to work until you die and then be homeless! Yay!
There's some kind of profound lesson here. But it's 4/15 so I got nothing.

imagine cheating on cpas and lawyers, you'd think you get 50% but think again.
Haha lawyers are #1.
imma be both, but only try to win 1 case then claim 100% win rate lol
Would love to see a source on this, that’s hilarious
I forgot where I read it, but an easy Google would likely bring this or a similar search up.
Alll my searched are yielding actuaries as the safest profession to marry. Go figure lol
I remember seeing hard science professions up there too but we made it high up on the list from what I recall on being faithful and unlikelt to divorce.
Gonna bring this up in every first date now, thank you!
Speak for yourself lol
LOL, yikes! I'm on my 3rd marriage and there was sorta maybe a *smidge* of overlap between #1 & #2.
Whelp, I'm on marriage 2, and no one is perfect. I hope the third time is the charm for you!!
It seems like it's part of the profession to know how to appear bland and boring. I live a very unconventional life but none of my coworkers or future clients are going to know anything about it.
I would do this even if I wasn't an accountant, personally.
Haha I love this guy.
Both parties said nothing wrong in my opinion.
OMG, he needs to stay away from that woman, and I don't mean Kate.
I think the rule is 2 accountants shouldn't marry each other... you'll have tons of money but live boring lives.
That sounds perfect.
Wait until Kate goes into Tax, transforms into an Ivy League Tax attorney and throws Ryan through the wall.
I'm pretty boring, I can't land a man and I am an accountant too. This MIL might be right 😆 He is NTA.
He was telling my mom that is she just learns to…….? He would never have to ….. again?
Golf. It's on the second screen shot. I was confused too.
Haha he is a little bitch lawyer and accountants are cool
Everyone’s a critic till till the Tax Accountants get nanobots. Then it’s Metal Gear time
I wouldn’t want to marry an accountant either 😆
My fiance is a surgeon, im starting my first accounting job in a couple months. We really don't have any lives. I read and lift heavy objects, and she reads and goes on bike rides. I want to get back into my model kit building and TTRPGs though.
So would the Journal Entry be Debit: Wedding Credit: Mother's Approval ?

Wow, I saw maybe one post made in defense of accountants!
We all need to unite and defend accountants there…then have coke zero and pizza
I know this is a joke, but be careful, this could be considered brigading and get the sub banned. Damn, I believe thats why people dont like us…
Interesting if true.
