Ugh...
Well, where else were you going to boil potatoes? In the bathtub? You certainly don't want to stand in the stove, either...
18 months for me...
Not that I've noticed or anything... Tired of the drama and BS getting in the way of just working.

After a bath. Still not what I would call clean. But a lot better than before. He was grimy Gus when he came home.

"Vice requires constant practice" said Robert Heinlein. Apparently, this includes POUND.
Even if you were made of paper, you'd need a few more degrees.

After barely surviving the worst migraine in forever yesterday, I am relieved to wake up feeling fairly normal today. Praying it stays that way.

I'm at a stop sigh at an intersection yesterday and there is a lot of traffic going by...they don't have a stop sign to pay attention to.
A Mercedes SUV pulls in behind me and starts beeping.... I can't go so I sit there and wait for the traffic to break....while listing to the dulcet sounds of a Mercedes SUV horn
I pull out and t he Mercedes comes flying out right on my bumper...then floors it, swerves around me, pulls in, cuts me off that then at the light takes a left, cutting off a truck in the oncoming lane, and heads for the highway.
I get to the light, it turns red. I stop and wait, it turns green, then I too take the left onto the highway.
I get on the highway and drive about 2 miles to where the traffic jam starts. I drive this road almost every day and I know that at certain times there will be a traffic jam...and th is is one of those times
Traffic slows...then gets slower...then stops...and there...about 6 whole cars in front of me.... is the Mercedes SUV......
I knew when he/she ran the light.... that I'd be seeing them soon

Can't speak to state of NY, but in federal government it's often a matter of classification. Jobs are classified by grade. Some jobs span multiple grades but it is fixed. Many positions (including IT) go up so far and if you want a promotion, you need to change jobs. E.g. get a promotion into management or as a lead or "expert." But on the bright side, they've only just talked about maybe bringing someone in at a higher grade than you. Haven't done it yet.
I'm telling you, though, you could get on with the Fed. There are a lot of great IT jobs, and many are at the GS-12 or GS-13 level, depending on what you're doing. USAJobs.gov and the series for IT positions is usually 2210 (i.e., if you type "2210" into the search field, the IT jobs will come up).
I love it when this kind of thing happens. It's very stressful driving that way, and you don't really gain a lot.
I'm a pretty mellow driver. I think I learned that in Germany.
