Yeah, it's funny, because most people are like, "It's a license! I mean, what did it cost, like $1k and some paperwork?" and then get confused when I burst into laughter and cry myself to sleep for the next five days. Interestingly enough, my dad who is a teacher totally understand where I am coming from with the PE. NYS is a bit crazy with all licenses, not just the PE, so when I was explaining all the backup I needed and studying he was really on my side. I'm lucky because where I am now my supervisor is a PE in numerous states (did stuff for USACE before going to the VA), so he understands the whole PE-thing.
It is snowing in Indy, but nothing serious. I'm actually...surprised at how bad Midwesterners drive in the snow? Last night we had some heavy weight snow, maybe an inch, but it was wet stuff I'm used to, and people were driving so slow. It was 37. It wasn't freezing. Little Corolla was letting me squeeze through and zip by as the huge trucks loomed. I want more snow!

@RBHeadge PE, I figured the license would give me the leg-up on a couple of jobs/show I can be serious. We'll see how it works out in the future for me! Still trying to decide if I want to attempt for reciprocity for Indiana, and have the two stamps, or just stick with NY.
@RBHeadge PE Yesssssssss. I knew the SLRP was going to mean I owed taxes, but I was hoping they took out enough when they distributed it!!! I was wrong!!! I don't owe a crazy amount, maybe $1k spread over Indiana, NY, and federal, but I was hoping to get close to $0 owed like last year. Def happier to have that loan amount go down, though, so I'm not complaining too much.
