JustaBill 0 #4 July 22, 2005 get used to working when everything else is going on. Once you get done training you'll be on call and working weekends and holidays and all hours of the day and night. I had to mark off sick this weekend to be able to skydive.------------------------------------------------ I've done so much, with so little, for so long I'm now expected to do everything with nothing forever Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ashtanga 0 #5 July 22, 2005 You know I work in hotels so I definetly know what you mean. Next time make sure they put you up at my hotel. Soft beds. Free beer and wine. Full suite. You'll be comfy. And I think I know someone who could get you a good rate. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Casie 0 #8 July 22, 2005 You did get to hang out with some lovely skydiving ladies last Saturday night though - how could you forget that? That's even better than Neighbors~Porn Kitty WARNING: Goldschlager causes extreme emotional outbursts! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JustaBill 0 #9 July 22, 2005 hell we don't even get off days. Right now the only days off we get is if we work 7 straight days we can get 24 hrs off. There are certain jobs we have with assigned days off but you have to have a pretty good chunk of seniority to hold them. Bein in Atlanta training are you on the CSX or NS just out of curiosity------------------------------------------------ I've done so much, with so little, for so long I'm now expected to do everything with nothing forever Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JustaBill 0 #11 July 22, 2005 Looks like I ended up on the wrong railroad. Good luck with your continued training, and if you end up on the road to Chicago let me know. Our hotels are pretty close together.------------------------------------------------ I've done so much, with so little, for so long I'm now expected to do everything with nothing forever Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
