@jimandpam87 Are you at a Big 4 firm? Are you one of the freaks that actually enjoys public accounting? Have you taken any parts of the exam yet? I don't have enough credits to sit in MA and I aint spending the money to earn them so I will never take it. I did audit my first year out of college at a big firm and absolutely hated it so when they laid me off I was stoked. I got into staff accountant positions and I'd never go back to audit.

My favorite aunt lives in Albuquerque! It's a beautiful city. Her house is on a cliff over the Rio Grande so hot air balloons go right past her living room windows all the time. I miss that place so much!

WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE CHEESE? What is this, Sophie's Choice? If I had to choose, it would be brie (on a slice of Granny Smith apple, drizzled with honey). Don't tell the others.

Feeleytobe yay another recruiter  

Are you corporate or agency.  I've done both.  Even though I know it's their job, the agency recruiters are driving me nuts lately.  I work at large company in Chicago, so I kid you not I get 5-7 calls EVERY day from agencies.

And they all "just want 15 minutes of your time."  Um, that would be 6-8 hours a WEEK of my time wasted because we RARELY have approval to work with agencies.

I try to be nice, but if someone asks me more than twice if they can come by, I get a little nasty.

levioosa I'm a total tea lover! (Had to quit coffee cuz of my stomach, but even before that I loved tea). I love love love chamomile for when I wanna get cozy, and I drink either Earl Grey or English Black Breakfast every morning. But I don't think I've ever tried a tea I didn't like! 

On rare occasions I put some cream and sugar in my Early Grey and it is so very delicious! 

penguin44

@levioosa‌ I love Harney & Sons! I just discovered it last month, and I've already bought a bunch of different kinds.

thisismynickname2

UPDATE: Favorite Cheese: How the heck did I forget about mozzarella di bufala?  I love when a restaurant gives you a baseball-size ball'o'cheese.  We went to Italy on our honeymoon and the first project was getting a baseball of bufala. 

And, being raised near the Wisconsin border (or "Cheddar Curtain") I love me a good cheese ball. A friend of mine originally from NY and now living in FL once asked me, "What's a cheese ball? It sounds like a ball of cheese but that can't be right." Oh, honey. Ohhhh. It IS a ball of cheese, and it's magical.  

mrsdee15

Oh yay!! I regretted not introducing myself when I first joined.  

SCREEN NAME: MrsDee15 (I think... I can't see it right now)

RELATIONSHIP STATUS: Engaged until about 5pm on August 15, 2015, when that will change!

WHERE ARE YOU FROM?  San Diego, CA, born and raised.

WHERE IS YOUR SO FROM?  Portland, OR.

WHAT DO YOU DO FOR WORK?  Hospital defense attorney.

AND YOUR SO?  In-house counsel.

ANY KIDS?  Not yet, but just suddenly we're both very ready to start trying.  As soon as our honeymoon is over (we're going to Oktoberfest so... can't try then) we will begin trying!

PETS?  Three furmonsters: two cats and a dog.

WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE CHEESE?  Pretty much all of them.  In no particular order, I am especially enthusiastic about: triple creme, brie, burrata, fresh mozzerella (buffalo or regular), bleu cheese, manchego, gouda, goat cheese (especially the Winey Goat), good cheddar, camembert... I know I'm missing some.  Basically all the cheese.  

FAVORITE DRINK?  Oooooh hard one.  I like red wines, but also like dirty martinis, martinis with lemon juice and basil, vodka soda with extra lime, and IPAs.   If it's not alcoholic I guess I like water?  Not really into sweet drinks.

ANYTHING ELSE?  I despise mayonnaise.  Some restaurants try to tell me aioli is different - aioli is just mayonnaise shrouded in lies. I am so excited to actually get to talk about mayonnaise preference.

WHERE IS YOUR SO FROM? NY State; that nebulous region that Manhattanites refer to as upstate, but true upstaters insist it is not

Oh, this must be like where I'm from in central MA. Boston and south shore people call it western MA but it's certainly not it's right in the middle lol

@jenna8984

Exactly! I guess to folks from NYC, everything is upstate, but our friends from 'true upstate' towns like Syracuse and Utica strongly disagree.

Omg. When someone tells me I live in upstate NY, I want to crotch punch them. I can get to Manhattan faster than most people that live on Long Island. It's not upstate! 

Ugh I lived with that my whole life.  sorry but Rockland and Westchester aren't upstate.  If you have a 914 or 845 area code,  you're in an NYC suburb

Haha, yeah DH is an 845 so definitely from the suburbs. He's basically given up arguing with people who insist on calling it upstate though; he just shakes his heads and silently judges them.

We work in the same world! I'm spending my weekend preparing lots of stuff for multiple hospital client legal counsels!

If I didn't adamantly refuse to do anything sales related at work, I'd be blowing you away with PMs!

If you want any recommendations if you decide to try Harney and Sons, let me know! They also have it at Target and Barnes and Nobles now, which is super exciting because before I had to either order it or go to the East Coast to get it.  Sadly neither store carries my favorites though (Tower of London, Paris, and Caribe)

@thisismynickname When I lived out west I had a Wisconsin friend there and I'd go to his apartment just to raid the cheese his mom would mail him.

Also if anyone here is unfamiliar with saganaki you need to get on that immediately. I ate it in Greece so some Greek restaurants in the states have it. It's a block of cheese that gets set on fire so the inside melts and outside is crisp and they just serve you that. Just a plate with a block of melted cheese, kind of like a giant ass mozzarella stick.

ANYTHING ELSE? I'm a 5 foot tall Redhead who looks like a teenager. Seriously. I'm 28 years old and get carded everytime. In a Province whose drinking age is 18. Everyone must think my FI is a cradlerobber since he's 30, and looks 30.

Also a 5' tall 28 year old who gets carded everywhere. I get carded to see R rated movies. You only have to be 17!!!!

I bought Call of Duty a couple of years ago at Toys R' Us and got carded.

At my mom's holiday party last weekend, her co-worker's husband asked me if I was in high school. 

I share the struggle.

@kat1114 is that a new siggy gif? Regardless: I LOVE IT. Key and Peele are such a delight.

I absolutely love Key and Peele! I don't know why, but Continental Breakfast makes me laugh hard every time I watch it.

PETS? A cat named Chloe who knows she is queen of the castle.

WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE CHEESE? I work for a Dairy company, this is a difficult question. I'd say blue cheese is one of my favorites

FAVORITE DRINK (boozy or not): Dr Pepper, Sea breeze

ANYTHING ELSE? Working for a dairy company is the BEST. We do a lot of work with a yogurt company so they send us FREE YOGURT like once a month. Also in addition to a cash money Christmas bonus, we get what I fondly call "Christmas Cheese". It's a good size block of cheddar cheese that is great for Mac & Cheese. Also there are other occasions were we have ice cream, milk, yogurt or other varieties of cheeses in the break room. I love dairy! :-)

I hadn't heard of Hoogwegt before so I googled. I don't *think* we are affiliated. My North East only cooperative was acquired in April by a national one so I don't know all the ins and outs of the new parent company. Basically we work directly with the farms to get their milk from their farm to a place where it can be made into products, like CHEESE. And ice cream. And yogurt.

Yuppp! And thanks you're making me blush! We're currently in a tiny 600 sq. ft. apartment so a lot of them are still at my parents house (I had to pick favorites! It was traumatizing!) but I'm hoping once we move I can get them all back together. And yes, they're organized by author's last name...besides my HP books, which get their own shelf....original copies, then new boxed edition, then the "add on books" (Magical Creatures, Quidditch Through the Ages and Tales of Beedle the Bard), then my boxed and signed HP5 limited edition.
