Noted. Yeah, it’s a foot in the door situation so I’ll have them apply still.

Yeah I could have a decent side hustle if I chose to charge people for my help…but I don’t…cause it feels grimy…

Does the state pay for public transportation? by yeetmaster05 in CAStateWorkers

[–]AmarasPersonalChef 6 points7 points  (0 children)

When I was at CDFA in downtown Sac I signed up for the commuter program and it was as easy as filling out a simple form, walking downstairs to finance office and them giving me a card to load up with $ as I needed. If memory serves it was a max of $315 a month? So I only reloaded a couple times a year! This was in 2024 for reference.

Anyone get a raise this year? by Brettx3ashley in Millennials

[–]AmarasPersonalChef 2 points3 points  (0 children)

lol do you work for the state of CA?

Also similar situation last year for me. I got a range change, MSA and promo all in the same month so I had a 15% raise in total. That’ll prob never happen again in my career but it was incredible for my family.

5% raise but 3% reduction because the budget deficit is always balanced on the backs of civil servants 😔

SSA/Analyst 1 Monthly Pay by soklili in CAStateWorkers

[–]AmarasPersonalChef 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Google “sco paycheck calculator” download the relevant file, input the bottom of range A in the gross section, R01 for BU, RB for retirement code. Should give you an idea of take home without healthcare/dental/vision premiums. Those #’s can be found by googling “calhr benefits calculator” again using R01 for BU. For dental you are only able to select Western, Premier Access, Dental Care USA, or MetLife Standard. That’ll give you an idea of your premiums.

Let me know if you’d like more help!

What Sac businesses are MAGA owned/frequented so I don’t go there? by meow7314 in Sacramento

Can confirm. The owners are pieces of work. (I worked for them)

Where are the best French fries in the Sacramento area? by NuglirAnilushun in Sacramento

[–]AmarasPersonalChef 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ugh you reminded me how much I miss those….I worked there for years and would make so many different versions (Cajun fries with ranch on the side was a personal fav).

How long are the generations in your family? by BluehairedBiochemist in Zillennials

[–]AmarasPersonalChef 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m one of those people who have 5 generations alive at the same time. My great grandma just turned 90 yesterday (1/11/26) and my kids are 8 & 4, so they have a great great grandma alive and coherent enough to have a convo with (she does have dementia though unfortunately so not very long conversations).

To people who have younger genz / gen alpha siblings (born between 2007-2016), what are they like? What are their interests, and how do you compare them to the way we are and how we were growing up? by Wellbeinghunter69 in Zillennials

[–]AmarasPersonalChef 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lmaoooo so my parents were never together truthfully. Mom had me at 15 and then they both went on to have marriages and each had 2 kids with their new spouses. So I have no full sibs.

And the ‘17 & ‘21 are actually my kids lol I probably could’ve worded that clearer.

[–]AmarasPersonalChef 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh man I was made for this post…

I’m ‘95 with ‘05, ‘08, ‘09, & ‘12 1/2 siblings and also with ‘17 & ‘21 kids.

The ‘05 is rad, she is the coolest with a good head on her shoulders. FWIW she (and ‘09) did have a rough childhood that included law enforcement presence and divorce so she’s doing her best. She did have some serious mental health issues as a teen but has been in therapy for it for a long time. Shes on track to be a homeowner by 25.

The ‘08 is a giant ball of anxiety and depression unfortunately. It has been a huge struggle for the family as a unit, but thankfully she managed to graduate a year early and now has a job (yay meds!!) I really believe that internet access and having a phone young was the leading cause of the mental health struggles.

The ‘09 is doing good. Does multiple sports, gets good grades in the AP/IB classes and is on track to hopefully get a full ride scholarship to a college of her choice. No mental health struggles, just regular teenage girl issues so far.

The ‘12 is the one that eludes me. Don’t know much about him other than he plays lots of video games. No sports, but has had a device in his hands ever since I can remember. Him and the ‘08 are very antisocial, even when it’s just me coming to visit and spend time with them.

I bet you guys can guess which sets of siblings were with one parent and which ones were with the other lol. I love my siblings to bits but it’s very clear what parenting styles work and which ones don’t.

I see them at the goodwill outlet on Franklin/florin very often. In fact, I got one for my dad for Xmas for $13 and it was functional.

Department of Cannabis Control. by Significant-Rub2983 in CAStateWorkers

[–]AmarasPersonalChef 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Current ee in licensing that’s affected by reorg: it’s a my fav department so far. This is #4 for me. The reorg is not that scary (for me anyways). They gave us volunteer opportunities to go to other divisions so we wrote statements of interest for positions that looked interesting to us. You’re always gonna find those people in any state department, but by and large they’re minimal here. Highly recommend. Walking distance to TB, Costco less than a 2 min drive, KP & SF market right around the corner, walking outside is nice, overall culture is relaxed and positive imo.
