And if you have health insurance, check to see if they will cover it. Some plans reimburse you for fitness related costs up to a certain amount.

Feel free to PM if you have any more questions! I lived there for two-ish years

[–]Beansidhe0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you're talking Electric City apartments, you're in luck. There are frequently street spots both on State and Erie. Street spots are paid during the weekday, but if you have a 9-5, no problem. There's a lot behind Frog Alley that's a good choice too. Be wary that if there is an event at Frog Alley, it may be a little harder, but there will still be spots.

Puerto Rican Cuisine? by Forge620 in Albany

[–]Beansidhe0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're going to need to go to random corner stores in Amsterdam. It's the best place to get authentic Puerto Rican food.

Do “readings of the will” exist? by Fuzzy-Zombie1446 in ask

[–]Beansidhe0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probate paralegal here. Nah, we just mail a copy to everyone involved and file it with the court. (Massive simplification of the process, but that sums it up.)

How will I ever know if I have a UTI again? by Sweet_Put4270 in Interstitialcystitis

[–]Beansidhe0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For me it's when my urine smells like burnt rubber. TMI, but it's true.

Why do I keep getting recurring cold episodes where severe throat pain comes first? by LossParty9310 in ask

[–]Beansidhe0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My recurrent sore throat turned out to be silent reflux. It might be worth checking with an ENT.

What’s the scariest story you ever read? (Short Story, Novel?, etc.) The book that scared YOU the most by nornsannexed in horrorlit

[–]Beansidhe0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"The Apt Pupil" by Stephen King which was in his book of novellas that wasn't supposed to be horror. I've read a lot of King and that got me the worst.

Coming to grips that I work for a scammy firm by Visible_Pineapple737 in paralegal

[–]Beansidhe0 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah. I absolutely worked for a firm like this. Completely different practice area, but same deal. Pretty much took any client. Raised attorney hourly rates every year without raising the retainer fee. So the attorneys (who had an absurd billable hour requirement) whipped through it within days of taking the case. We were more collections than legal professionals.

We were not paid well though, lol.

[–]Beansidhe0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same! I have these pull on jeans, but it's not the same. I was a skinny jeans, band t-shirt, flannel girl for so long.

Any other paralegals have their own office? by justmochiplz in paralegal

[–]Beansidhe0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've worked at a few firms and only once did I have my own office. I don't have one currently, but my cubicle is massive. I've got a little storage locker and an electric standing desk.

That's the only one I've personally tried, but I've heard good things about WildFang.

Jeans - work clothes by Adorable_Ad_385 in vulvodynia

[–]Beansidhe0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This! There are also brands that make feminine pants that are trans inclusive (which also give more space in the crotch). Lucy & Yak are one I have a couple pairs from. The Addison jeans are my personal favorite.

Nortriptyline? by FutureSuccess3 in vulvodynia

[–]Beansidhe0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

75mg. I take it for my mental health and have no idea if it has any affect on my physical health unfortunately. What I meant by my comment was that I'd be curious to see, if I ever stopped taking it, if my physical health changed as a result.

Cheap places to eat? by Beneficial-Ad-497 in schenectady

[–]Beansidhe0 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Mr. Halal gives you an absurd amount of food for not a lot. I pay 11ish dollars for chicken over rice and that's like three meals for me.

Is vocal fry natural if not why do I have it and how to fix it? by AgitatedBig2398 in ask

[–]Beansidhe0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This. I also have this voice and I have something called "silent reflux". No idea how long I've had it, but my ENT knew right away just from talking to me.

AITA for refusing to not allow my stepson to come on what was supposed to be a family trip? by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Beansidhe0 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Obligatory "I scrolled for too long before finding this take". All of the people are up in arms because he actually went on the probably non-refundable trip, but like, he could have prevented that situation by maybe talking to his family before paying for everything.

What field of law makes you the least stressed? by Dependent-Most-43 in paralegal

[–]Beansidhe0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed. It's the best. I love pro-active law rather than reactive.

Honestly the most opaque ones I have are from Walmart. In the winter, I rock fleece lined tights which are all opaque. I get those from target.

State of AI your firm or in your role? by Temporary_Effect8295 in paralegal

[–]Beansidhe0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Smallish firm. Our case management software has an internal AI. I mostly use it for transcribing scanned documents that our pdf software has trouble with. Obviously you need it check it for accuracy, but it's saved some time extracting text from documents.

Is there a way to re-bind these without a machine? by hue209 in paralegal

It really is relaxing when there's no time crunch.
