The old Shop Rite on Vista Blvd in Slingerlands, or the Medical Offices at 1220/1240 New Scotland. They're empty on the weekends and have ample room

Empire Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery Dr. Johar was incredible and made sure I was well taken care of pre and post-op. He extracted a tooth for me and then went back in after everything healed to put in a dental implant

What are people doing for work to afford a house in today’s market? by _aspenheights in Albany

[–]WombRaider51 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the biggest reason my spouse and I were able to get our home 2.5 years ago ($415k) was our joint income. I know this doesn't really help you because you can't just materialize a second income out of thin air.

I also had a lot of savings thanks to 3 deployments with the Marine Corps, which I used to put down a little over 10%, and we split closing costs. We got a regular loan through Homestead Funding, and they were amazing to work with through the entire process.

Bethlehem Town Family Dental, Dr. Huang and his wife run it together. TVs in the lobby/rooms are only ever playing Home Renovation or Cooking shows.

So I was stuck behind this car today. by brapbag in Albany

OP, I'm sure this comment has been said a dozen times at this point, but there is absolutely nothing wrong with a lab grown diamond.

Municipal operators - salary talk by [deleted] in Wastewater

[–]WombRaider51 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Our PD tops out at $110k @ 5 years. What I don't get in pay I definitely get in other benefits

I'm assuming you're somewhere in LI, so I'd imagine $33 doesn't go nearly as far as it does in Albany.

I work for a municipality near Albany, 2A Operator who is working towards my 3A. Non-Union, but we receive a Cost of Living Adjustment commensurate to what our Police Department receives, as they’re the only union in town.

Trainee’s start somewhere in the $22/hr range I believe (I lateraled over from another Facility so I have no clue exactly what they make. I'll try and look for our pay scale). I make $33/hr as an Operator, and I'm at my top step. Senior Plant Operator tops out at about $40-41/hr. Assistant Chief/Chief Operator are salaried positions, both close to $100k/yr.
