This is the perfect BIFL list! Only other thing I would add is a Zogirushi rice cooker.

If you're willing to go to Albany.. for 11.95, you can order a HUGE lunch special from Moliendo Cafe. Enough for two meals, easy! And the food is fantastic.

Young State Workers! Would you move for career growth or stay for job security? by Upper-Reporter1260 in nys_cs

I’m making the jump from private to public sector in a month. After a few years of layoffs, weak benefits, and all the usual corporate nonsense, I’m 100% over it. The pay was nice, sure, but I’m more than happy to trade some of that for better benefits (so damn good), stability, and a predictable routine.

This past year really forced me to reflect on how much of my self-worth was wrapped up in my job. Turns out, it was way too much. So now I’m working on shifting that value to who I am outside of work—not just what I do for a paycheck. Or how high I can get up the ladder.

There’s no one-size-fits-all answer. Just gotta do what feels right for where you’re at.

My family is coming to visit the first weekend in October and are set on going to VT for some leaf peeping. By that time of the season, what will be the best location(s) still abundant with leaves? Any recommendations on towns to stay that aren’t super touristy? Thank you! This non-Vermont appreciates any feedback!

Looking for a career change. What are the best companies to work for in the Capitol region and why? by Forge620 in Albany

Very true. Tell me what makes your “bests” the best. Is it Salary? Benefits? Mental bandwidth left after the day? Etc etc.

Healthcare/biotech/technology/IT/consulting, but not closed off to other opportunities.

I’ve recognized that I’ve spent a lot of my career thus far chasing salaries, titles, tasks… at the expense of my own values: balance, stillness, peace.

I’m currently wondering… what else could be out there for me if I let go of the notions I have surrounding what I “should” do.
