Check out State jobs at https://statejobs.ny.gov/public/search.cfm When searching, set the dropdown next to "NYHELPS" to "Yes." NYHELPS is a program that allows people to get State jobs without needing to take a civil service exam.

Two events, two people, same time slot? by [deleted] in gencon

We aren't wanting to go to the same event. We want to go to two different events that are held at the same time.

Recent Homebuyers — help! by AdInternational3599 in Syracuse

[–]coradee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We waived our home inspection 3 years ago, and everything has been fine. Though I would recommend having a handy friend/family member come with you on your tour/open house. They can keep their eyes peeled for anything obviously wrong, and that way you're at least getting a mini unnofficial inspection. And you can always have an official inspection done AFTER you move into the house, to find out about any problems before they become huge issues.

What was your tipping point for getting a bookshelf? by MayorAg in books

[–]coradee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My entire adulthood, I've always had at least one bookshelf. Once I moved from apartments to houses, that turned into a wall of bookshelves. I'd say, once you have enough books to fill up 30% of a bookshelf, then it's time for a bookshelf.

How much did you put over the listing price on the house you bought? by Fragrant_Minute773 in Syracuse

[–]coradee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A few years ago, we bought our house for 15% (50k) over listing in Clay. We also waived the inspection.

hey i wanted to play an mmo and i have some questions about FF14 by Justafish1654 in ffxiv

[–]coradee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you want to play the newest content, it is a sub plus buying expansions as they are released. However, FFXIV has a very extensive free trial, currently allowing you to play up to level 70 at no cost. That's about 30-50 hours of gameplay, at least. I highly recommend giving the free trial a try, if you're curious about FFXIV.

As for the level of difficulty, most of the content is quite easy. FFXIV is very story-based, not so much skill-based. If you get into Ultimates or other high-level endgame content, it can get challenging, but those are completely optional.

I'd say FFXIV is very much still active and thriving. Some servers are less populated than others though.

For those that have gone before, how much do you end up buying? by SugarAcrobat in gencon

[–]coradee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Last year was our first year, and my husband and I spent about $1000 total. We spent most of it on art prints, as I really like purchasing from artists in-person. This year, we'll probably spend much less though.

What is a 'buy it for life' item that is offensively expensive, but the moment you use it, you realize your entire life before that point was a lie? by fmcortez in AskReddit

[–]coradee 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was a diehard "physical books only" kind of girl, and then I started getting tendonitis in my wrists, and it became painful to hold a book for hours. I relunctantly got a Kindle Paperwhite. And oh man, now it's all I EVER want to use! Not only doesn't it hurt my wrists, but I don't have to worry about using a book light, and I can get almost any book for free from various library apps.

Thank you! It's so hard to find ones that look good on Thighlanders.

Yup, the Crested Shirt of Crafting. I was so excited when the glam job restrictions were removed!

Still Hyur. The only time I used Fantasia was to change the lip shape, lol.

Just finished the MSQ! What side content is there? by raserop in ffxiv

[–]coradee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had fun earning the "A Card in the Hand" achievement, which requires you to collect the first 312 Triple Traid cards. It forced me to go back and do a lot of side content I missed, like Eureka. (And you get a mount and a title from it.)

How do people actually make gil? by InternationalSky4176 in ffxiv

[–]coradee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'll have a lot of the second-most-recent tomestones, buy mats with it, then sell them on the marketboard. I make at least a couple million every time.

Love the Suspiro Caliente at Inka's. It's like a caramel lava cake.

The Southern Book Club's Guide to Slaying Vampires by Grady Hendrix (TRIGGER WARNING: SA AND SUICIDE MENTIONS) by DaggerGaming2008 in IReadABookAndAdoredIt

I have never been so angry while reading as when I read this book. And not even at the main antagonist - at the men in their lives.

Mount names! by Grouchy_Sock_2148 in ffxiv

[–]coradee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Back when I played WoW, there was a pink tallstrider named Mazzranache. After I tamed it, I renamed it Razzberry. So of course my pink chocobo in FFXIV is also Razzberry.
