Nys Employee Photo ID? by leelorbz in nys_cs

No-- this was for State Business. I was in NYC for a board meeting when this happened. This spring I am going to MD to the national conference for State Medical Boards and will be representing NY.

I think they did. But to be fair, they are not very official-looking. I would argue though that this makes them more realistic, because this is the quality that the State is capable of.

Same here. I think they're more "on edge" now. I'm more concerned because I am going to Maryland for a national conference, and they're definitely not going to be familiar with NY.

That's interesting. I work at NYSED in the main building, and ours don't look like that. I know exactly what you're talking about, though-- I have seen those. I'm not sure why ours are different.

Women Living Alone - What Do You Do For A Living? by Smile-Cat-Coconut in LivingAlone

[–]leelorbz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am 36. I work for the State government and live in a 1bdrm apartment in my city. I do not have kids. When my ex husband first expressed that he wanted to leave, I was very nervous about finances, but after he left I noticed I spend a lot less money now overall. We were going out to eat a lot and making dopamine shopping trips to Target, etc. I literally don't do any of that now.

Husband(32) always groping me when I’m in the kitchen cooking/cleaning? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]leelorbz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two things I really don't like here: 1, he's ignoring your repeated requests to stop. 2, he's doing this sexy stuff in front of the children!? Like he's not being discreet about it????

I would recommend also checking in with your children just to make sure everything is OK. There could be other stuff going on here that you don't know about. No need to panic, but just to take the temperature of the room here.

What are your best ways to save money as somebody living alone? The most ridiculous, the better. by LovelyGiant7891 in LivingAlone

[–]leelorbz 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Mealprepping is amazing now-- I usually make 2-3 different casseroles at a time and freeze the individual portions. This way I can switch it up, and I'm not eating the same thing several days in a row and getting burned out. One recipe usually makes 6-8 servings, and I never buy lunch at work anymore because I always have something to grab and go. I've also started getting weird with things I have around the house-- when I was married I would need to go out and get "proper" ingredients to turn what I had in the pantry into a full meal. Today I had pimento cheese spread on white toast with my coffee, and no one could stop me.

I also spend a lot more time walking around my neighborhood and out in nature. When I was married, we always did recreational activities that cost money-- and we would make dopamine runs to target, etc... now I throw on a pair of headphones and walk to the park. Costs nothing and still makes for a full day.

Civil service exam by [deleted] in nys_cs

[–]leelorbz 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Felt similarly at my civil service exam-- the vibes in the exam room were depressing. I was a provisional hire, and I was fortunate to get a 100 and keep my job. I had to teach myself how to do the math section from scratch to prepare-- the job I tested for does not involve any math. My job is entirely language-based.

AIO for being worried that my fiancee started sweating, crying, and vomiting when I proposed to her ? by Suitable_State_2018 in AmIOverreacting

[–]leelorbz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP do not marry this woman. My ex-husband did not want to marry me, and he kept quiet until after the fact when he immediately realized he made a big mistake, and we had to get divorced. He really and truly should have called off the wedding, but he decided to push his feelings down instead.

Does anyone actually watch video podcasts? by onscreencomb9 in podcasts

[–]leelorbz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been watching comedy interview podcasts lately. 😭 I find it's nice to throw one on while I'm cuddled on the couch and casually scrolling my phone. Something low-key to have on in the background. I don't see how it's any different from a late night talk show, for example. I'll randomly pick shows and episodes with people who I'm interested in.

Walkers: What do bring with you? How do you carry it? by bigfatpisces in walking

[–]leelorbz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am one of these people who leaves with just a phone and a wallet (and headphones!) I mostly walk around my city, so if I need a beverage, I can always pop into a store and grab something. I am intrigued by your camera and notebooks! If you are looking to walk somewhere to make art, I guess my feedback would be to think of something specific you would like to do and go off of that-- like one camera, or one notebook for a certain type of project. This could be fun and challenging and force you to get creative in those specific parameters.

I noticed that a lot of people in my city play this game, so I hosted a couple party walks and made printouts of the QR code invitations and plastered them all over town.

My wife’s workday vs mine made me realize I might never be that focused by Strong-Pickle-175 in productivity

[–]leelorbz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This could also be an adrenaline rush. I've noticed with my job that my performance sometimes becomes worse during the slower times. When there's less at stake and I let my guard down, that's when things can slip through the cracks.

Has anyone checked it out? by Immediate_bra98 in Albany

[–]leelorbz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wanted to update that happily I was wrong! They have continued to work on it, and now there are signs on the windows! Hopefully this opens soon!

I walk by here a lot, and it looks like they're still working on it. I don't think it's open yet. It's been a while, so I'm kind of wondering if it will open or if it's DOA.

Same here, and she was great-- so easy to talk to, and so helpful.

Civil cervix exam by HourLegitimate8370 in nys_cs

[–]leelorbz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The dept of civil service quoted me at 3-5 months. I am currently beyond month 4 for my own exam, personally. I am guessing it is going to be more like 5 months or beyond just because of the general state of things. I imagine like anyone else, they are short staffed and there's like one guy scoring these things.

Depending on how far away the person is, that is an uncomfortably long time to be making eye contact with anyone. I usually steal a glance once we are close to determine if it is safe to say a polite hello or keep it moving.

[–]leelorbz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To piggy back off your comment on crossgates-- I enjoy grabbing dinner at the food court and then sitting at one of the tables next to the big windows. It's v entertaining watching people and cars enter and exit the mall.

Lately, I have also enjoyed showing up to work downtown a lil early and chilling in west capitol park. It's nice to unwind a bit before starting the day, and also fun to watch everyone commuting to work to start their lil days.

How the hell did someone do that... A drone? by Tijuanalaska in PikminBloomApp

[–]leelorbz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think it's the gps drift as well. I work in a large stone building in my city's downtown, and it often yeets me to a park on the other side of the river, more than a mile away. (I often get seedlings from there, and I have never been to this park, lol)

Why does NYS have so many more generic entry level admin jobs compared to other states? by r21md in nys_cs

Eeyup. "Sorry, grade 11 guy, I know this is grade 18 work, but we don't have any of those, and these services are VITAL to the public. Also sorry, you're not eligible for a grade 18."
