Re: [MOPO] age shall not weary them
I'm 58. I took the early retirement incentive offered by the State of Connecticut in July of 2009. I'm too young to retire from working but it was an offer that was just too good to pass up. I have been looking for a job since then with no luck until recently. I was offered a salesman job by PC Richard and Son last month so, I took it. Even though its about 56 hours a week (I had worked 35 hours a week for the State of Connecticut) and paid only by commission, its the only job offer I have had in a year. I have an IT background but no job offers for any IT jobs. But, I do have an interview (really a second interview) Wednesday for an IT position with another company so I hope I get that - only 37.5 hours a week.

This is so obvious you'd think everyone would understand it -- yet I see people on Ebay all the time listing 4 or 5 of the same item at the same time and calling it rare in their descriptions. And then there's this ever-popular Ebay ploy: An item that is reasonably scarce (but not truly rare) sells on Ebay for a decent price (usually because no one has put one of those particular things up for a month or two). Suddenly every seller in the world who has the same item immediately lists it on Ebay within a few days of the first sale -- all of them thinking they are also going to get the good price, when in fact all they are doing is guaranteeing they will not. They think they will pick up the second bidder who missed the first item by only a buck or two? Not if that second bidder suddenly sees 4 or 5 of the same item turn up right after he lost the first auction. What he's going to do instead is wipe his brow and say Whew... lucky I got outbid on that first auction... I almost paid way too much for one of those. -- JR Holiday Russell wrote: How about keeping a few and destroying the rest? I've known first edition book dealers that have done this.

I'm 48. I sometimes feel 24 (at least mentally) but on the flip-side after a long week I feel 96 so it all evens out.
