A typical Mustang weekday day.

Monday - Friday

6:00 AM- 6:30 AM : Get up, check out morning messages, browse night time sales. Shower, grab lunch and head out to work.

6:30 AM - 7:00 AM : Morning commute.

7:00 AM - 4:00 PM : Day job. Sit in cubicle all day. Answer questions. Run tests (browse FOFC while jobs running, tapes being pulled, waiting on phone, etc)

4:00 PM - 4:15 PM : Head out. Head to post office for daily international mailings.

4:15 PM - 4:45 PM : Drive home.

4:45 - 9:00 PM : Family time, dinner, dishes, play with daughter. (Me and the wife rotate giving the daughter a bath from 8:00 - 8:30. The other one usually does the dishes and picks up the house)

9:00 PM - 11:00 PM : Various business related items. Answer questions, prepare shipments (15-18 a night), adjust inventory. (They key to shipping is having the right boxes on hand. We always have 4x4x4, 12x9x2, 9x6x3, 10x10x4, 20x12x4, 15x15x4, 22x12x6, 24x12x4, 4 types of priority and 2 types of bubble mailers, 8-12 rolls of tape, 15 cubic feet of peanuts. I spent $8K at the post office this year so far. For all the crap that USPS gets, I estimate I've sent probably 7500 packages out, I've only had 1 go missing and I don't even think that was missing and I think it was a scam. Fact: You can't send playing cards to Spain. Interesting reading some of the stuff that is/isn't allowed)

11:00 PM - 12:00 PM : Relax with a show, read or surf net.

We try to cut off one day (Tuesday or Wednesday) at 9:00 PM after the daughter goes down and do nothing business related. Although, for us, tonight was that night.
