JAN’S IDEAS

I have my list of seasonal jobs. I choose these because I can be employed anywhere in the US. So if I can get the funds together to travel to and temporarily house myself, I can support myself while I’m there.

Three seasonal jobs:

1. H & R block-spring
2. Boy Scout Summer Camp-summer
3. Wal-Mart-winter

As I continue to work on my internet projects, I will develop the skills and get the education I need for those three jobs over the next 3 years. The seasonal jobs will allow me blocks of time to insert “mini retirement” (from The 4 Day Work Week) time. I can travel in-between seasonal jobs or travel and work the seasonal job in the location of my choice. While traveling I will be writing and taking photos so it will be a business deduction.

To be able to apply out of state I will have to have an exceptional job history w/each company and great references from them. I shouldn’t have any problem in that area.

My other 3 days goals update:

Office organizing-got 1/2 the box done

Identify 3 plants to raise (project for daughters to be partnered with)

1. Bamboo
2. Mesquite
3. Aloe Vera

I haven’t set any new goals yet. I am working on a time line to get my finances in order and prepare to work seasonally for wages. I don’t want to wait till I’m too old to enjoy retirement. By the time I’m 55 years old (8 years away) I want to be free to travel and choose if and when I work and where I work………be financially free.

Everything is ready to go, they are just waiting on my background check to come back. That should be no problem since I already have a fingerprint clearance card at my current job.

When I called yesterday to check on the status of my application, I was told it can take up to 2 weeks to get it back.

So…..I wait……and I trust it will all be timed perfectly.

A raise was put in for me at my current job, but I was very disappointed not to see it on my paycheck yesterday. My supervisor, her boss, and even her boss cannot get any information on it because the systems in place haven’t changed in years even though the company has rapidly grown the past few years. On top of it, there was an error on my check and I didn’t have some over-time that was due to me :(.
