Then why the Mars/Venus reference? In my 10+ years of MS'ing experience, there isn't much left to bonus at the end of December. Early deadlines and early bonuses go quickly at the beginning at the month during holiday season. It is not worth giving up my two-week vacay for the possibility of a highly bonused shop that is not the horrible bottom-of-the-barrel type of shop.@Mert wrote:
Gender is not part of this equation. December is end of month/quarter/calendar year. I've saved room for dessert.
Yes. Didn't you read that I book out 2+ months in advance?@spicy1 wrote:
Does anyone else schedule two months out? Except for GFK?

Why would you wonder if I am a scheduler? My schedule is always booked 6 weeks to 2+ months in advance. I don't rely on mass mailing job offers. I very rarely check MSC websites. I guess I am just a good business person.@Irene_L.A. wrote:
Wondering if your a Scheduler.....I haven't seen a job for Dec, just having a nice Nov. work wise.
Modest, too.

Where did I say that I "know too much?" Just because my business methods work well for me but not for you does not make me wrong. I will keep running my business the way I want because it works for me. You run your business the way you want if it is working for you.@Irene_L.A. wrote:

You make it sound like having two solid months of scheduled work is a bad thing. If I want to retire in my mid-40s, I have to bust my bootie now. I am willing to pay that price.
Unless the scheduler changes and decides he doesn't like your face ;-).@walesmaven wrote:
So, the same 6-8 shoppers know that in certain months of the year they will each have 20-25 shops at Airport A and that many as well at nearby Airport B.
Mainly travel but living in other countries for extended periods of time. I have already done it once for several months. I learn more from my travel experiences than any book from school.@Shop-et-al wrote:
Sybil,
What will you do when you retire? Just curious...
You make your money work for you. I know several people who have retired by 50. The guys always seem to want to play golf. That is not for me.@MDavisnowell wrote:
Retirement with limited funds is highly overrated. I don't know anyone with unlimited funds so I can't speak to that situation.

Just because someone retires does not mean that they will never go back to some sort of work. Look at Brett Favre and Michael Jordan.

Good one.
I'm sure we will do lunch at some point.

ETA: I almost forgot...Do a thru-hike on the AT. Need 6 months for that.

AT = Appalachian Trail
Completing the entire 2,190 miles of the Appalachian Trail (A.T.) in one trip is a mammoth undertaking. Each year, thousands of hikers attempt a thru-hike; only about one in four makes it all the way. A typical thru-hiker takes 5 to 7 months to hike the entire A.T.
I've already done segments of the AT. It is absolutely beautiful but the bad habits of humans are taking its toll of the trail.@ChrisCooper wrote:
@Sybil2, hats off to you for planning your early retirement *and* for taking on the AT. Both are huge endeavors. I wish you the best. As was mentioned above, you can always count on MSing if you need to fill any financial gaps.
Nope. I haven't been to South America yet. And I don't have a mistress.@ChrisCooper wrote:
Whenever I hear "AT," I always think of Mark Sanford. He was the governor of SC. He told his staff that he was taking off for a week or so to hike a few miles the Appalachian Trail, when in fact he flew to South America to be with his mistress. "Hiking the AT" now sounds like a euphemism for something nefarious. Is there something you're hiding from us, Sybil
