Before you go beddy bye tonight, make a snapshot of your respective furlough boards in your terminals and then wake up and see how many of them are working. It's always a bright sunny feeling inside when this place can fuck it's people not even facedown anymore but more horizontally and maybe even rhombozoidally yet you still have people that will help this place out run trains.
I hear everyone bitching they want the holidays off with their families yet the furloughed people actually have that luxury. The rest of us have to call in dead, fall down and get hurt or lie to get FMLA now just to get it off.
And the most comical thing is their propaganda bullshit on item #15 of the tie up screen. We won't run any trains Christmas eve or Christmas day. HAHA what a fucking joke. The lineups here reflect they want to run over 25 trains between those 2 days and thats just 1 direction!! Do these ignorant fucks think we don't look at the lineups? Anyone in their right mind sees this and lays off going "fuck that shit i'm not spending Christmas at the AFHT".
Well im at the AFHT now on rule not looking good for me. All the home terminal guys are laid off already so their going to hold us hostage here vs. being human and just deadheading us home. Nope they juuuust gotta hang onto those precious 3 or 4 AFHT crews incase something amazing happens and they need us. I hope they fucking pile em up somewhere.
I'd gladly work then while watching some genious Trainmaster get on a conference call every 15 minutes with the cheesedicks in FT.Worth fronting questions like "how bad does it look" OR "what happened" while the Trainmaster mumbles under his breath how much he hates his life and his bosses for asking such stupid questions. Then I remind him of the opts failure he gave me last month for being late YET the highways we're closed and I still made it to work. But he asked the same stupid question "why are you late" well duh look at the fucking weather/roads dipshit. Then I remind him not to bitch about YOUR superiors asking stupid fucking questions when you do the EXACT same thing on a daily basis. Then I slowly drift of to my happy place where the midgetporn is flowing like wine from big screen tv's dancing around in my head and the classic "we are family, all my Brothers Sisters and me" is softly playing in the background.
Merry Christmas fellow Railroad whores....
