Retire ASAP; you can always make more money, but your time on earth is finite. I'm serious :!:

Not in a drop program and make another 900 mo. and recive full medical and vac./sick time pay that adds up and takes with you.
I have over 2 mo. leave and since I plan on retireing end of year or maybe bit more .
State certified Residential Builder, State Certified Building inspector and State Certified Sales Person (Realtor).
All require 14 hrs contuied education each every 2 years and I am giving all that crap away as no longer spend all that money for nothing.
Retired from Building Custom Homes 7 years ago.
Took me a long time to relize how gov. is on the back burner.

That's really true. My Dept Chair worked every extra job he could in order to maximize his pension (based on last 3 years total pay). Died his last semester - could not take his maximized retirement with him. :?

Yeah well I waited and one week after I retired I had a stroke, no cruising last summer and it looks like no cruising this summer. Take good care of yourselves and visit your doctor, because in a flash it can all be gone, you damn sure don't want to end up like me :evil: .

When you cast anchor, make sure the other end of the rode is safely attached to the pulpit or stanchion.

don't rush. The early bird might get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.
