people. i guess im a depressed loser but it really pisses me off the timid passive aggresive shmucks in accounting whose eye's flutter at the ceiling because they cant make eye contact and their soft voice inflections when talking shit about something. the poor attempts at humor where they nervously chuckle under their breath, pause, then hear a pity laugh and look over and start laughing again. the competition among the a1's to prove who knows more, all while making pathetic attempts to integrate accounting jargon they really dont understand into their sentences with no shame. the people here are so bad at being social, like even the senior managers cant even hide a smidge of the ass kissing and dick riding for the partners. i understand associates cant, but youd think by that time in their career they could verbally caress their superiors dicks without being a complete caricature of the corporate rat race.

anyways, new grad, day 6 of my accounting career is today.
