But what I learned after 3 years of 90-hr workweeks and never being home is that having flexibility and freedom makes me much more happier than more money. I have successfully found the harmonious balance between work and play.
Life is good!
My trip to AMS next week is actually for a week...but not a MR; I used 125k SkyMiles to get the ticket.
I agree that flexibility can be great; and as long as that flexibility also includes all the "perks" of "standard job," it's a win-win. There is a lot to be said of long-term pensions and stability. Of course, preferably while based in a place that also values vacation time.
Weather is looking really good for next week in Amsterdam. Hopefully, the brilliant sunshine will continue, and with "slightly" warmer temperatures!
Unfortunately, I "think" you'll just miss the ability to visit
Keukenhof by a day or two....
