Yes. This. I have had several really good friendships blow up bc they assumed I wanted something more, and when I said no, accused me of being manipulative.

The most confusing one to me was the coworker of the opposite sex who used to talk to me all the time UNTIL they got divorced?? And now they blank me??? Are they afraid I'll try to shoot my shot? Truly a mystery to me.

love the library. there's no risk. you can take out a book and go "wow this sucks" and just give it back. and when you do that you're still making the library's Number Go Up so you'll be able to roll the dice on even more books. all for the low low price of free/you already paid for it with your tax money so you might as well use it

[xanthofile]

My favorite book reviews on sites like the big river is stuff like, "I read this from the library and loved it so much I bought a copy," and "If I had paid real money for this you'd see me on the news."

Those are the reviews I trust.

Housesitting for my cousin, and her clingy Boi has a case of resting bitch face if I ever saw one.

But also, he is a very clingy Boi. Every time I sit or lay still longer than .2 seconds, he is trying to compress my organs. And making me itchy. That too.

The Ojibwe nailed it. Wawa is exactly the right name for a goose.

starting a new company, Autistic Auditors, where we send blunt autistic people to check up on things like companies to stand there and be like “actually that thing the CEO said made no sense, elaborate” and pushing them to actually explain their dodgy corporate language that avoids accountability and reliability. Just really grind them down with repeated “why” and “but what does that mean” and writing down the answers in clear and obvious language.

IDK I’m just sick of hearing how Business Bros talk and how many people are suckers for it. I want blunt people standing there going “hey, that guy didn’t actually SAY anything, he just strung together a bunch of nonsense corporate words to make you think ‘ooo profit’ but there’s nothing substantial here”

We would do the same to politicians.

Hello! Autistic accountant who didn’t realize the autism part until their mid-30s here. Very pleased to report that the profession with very clear black and white rules, an expectation of social awkwardness, and strong ethical standards that require both seeing through bullshit and brutal honesty is both VERY FUN and tends to attract plenty of people with autistic traits.

Auditor is basically the most hardcore, rule compliant, and honest form of accountant.

Everyone in the notes saying that this sounds so fun and you would do it for free… no really this is a legit profession that people will pay you very real actual money to do.

If you like putting things in neat organized categories and having columns of numbers that always add up correctly then accountant may be a good career for you.

It doesn’t matter how old you are, some of the best CPAs I know are people who joined the profession well into adulthood. A couple community college accounting classes will get you what you need to handle a small business bookkeeping gig, and if you enjoy that but wish it was more complex then going for an accounting degree and/or CPA license may be a surprisingly good time.

My dad worked in commercial paint for years, then nearly 20 years in a machine shop, and spent my high school years going to night classes to be a CPA, and now he is a tax accountant where he audits corporations for the IRS and nearly always makes them pay.

A lot of the people he started with left but he is thriving! The man is never happier than when he's digging into something shady! (Actually, no, bc there is so much paperwork involved in fraud cases but he also gets enjoyment from the nitty gritty of it.)

My sister and I used to call him an accountant when we were kids bc the man would iron his money.

Iron.

Paper.

Money.

Anyway. It is never too late.
