any insight on Conductor position in Adams, WI. they need guys will I be forced somewhere else. they looking to hire just to furlough?

I’m in Portland at the moment and know I can’t hold the road board is there anytime in the year they add to the board.

yeah. i'm not the greatest conductor in the world. i do my best. i honestly do.

but a bunch of these dudes are on coke. they are real quick to tell me every single thing i've done wrong. even though the engineer on my last trip told me the exact opposite.

maybe it's a hazing thing, maybe not. i think they'd be stupid to make my living into a joke. that ends badly.

I grew up in gary, indiana. i've known alot of folks that like to partake in the powder.

it was never for me. i knew i'd get hooked as i'm just that kinda guy.

a bunch of the engineers i ride with start out crazy energetic, with a alot sniffiles and as the 12 hours burn down they become assholes.

if you want to do coke, please make it less obvious. you know who you are.
