Our family won trivia night at the local mexican restaurant. One of the categories was video games (family trivia so you throw in some kid categories) and I knew all the answers except 1 (how many COD games there have been, I had no idea). I think my wife loves me a little less now. The end.

"You are not here merely to make a living." Did that help? Probably it helped a lot.

2018 was a fantastic career year for me i guess, and 2019 looks better other than me potentially having to fire an employee eventually

that's basically boils down to being moderately talkable and apparently reliant, a bit less to not seeming like an utter moron. how you do your job is like #4 or #5 in importance since you aren't surgeon or bridge engineer or the like iirc

thats how i meant it to be read, in the office i straight up say "i can do this because unlike [CHAD, RESIDENT WHITE GUY WHO GOT THE JOB DUE TO BEING THE SON OF A CLIENT] i won't lactate testosterone out of self-defense whenever a woman says me too."

boss laughed his rear end off at that.

Ah, the one who wrote up a receptionist for not wearing high heels.

I'm not sure how it's in other countries, but over here Big4 tax is bearable and doesn't have the same issues as audit, advisory and whatever else there is under the Big4 umbrella (obviously can't apply to countries where tax is not allowed to be part of audit firms).
