Working around trains actually sounds exciting!
Thanks for the train, here's a cat bump for you.

I'm looking forward to it, but it's also kinda dangerous. The past few days have been nothing but safety precautions and regulations getting hammered into our brains.

Welp, safety first :)
I actually envy you because I've always wanted to have a "manual" job. You know, where you use your hands and body to do most of the work.

I've had an office job before and I hated being chained to my computer. I decided that I would get a job that would get me outside more often, even if it does entail office work. Luckily, this position is a step in that right decision.

Good for you. I wish you the best of luck in all your endeavours.
I don't know why I like this phrase so much

I think you may have posted about this and did a GA for the initial hiring, because I recall someone mentioning that they'd be doing gruntwork for a railroad company. In any event, I am happy you've got a plan in place (getting my Master's is also one of my life goals) and are working towards your future.
Thanks for the train, and game on!

Sharp memory! Yea, I gave away the Serious Sam complete pack about two months ago when I accepted the job. As for my MS, I don't think I would ever have pursued it if it weren't for this job. I don't know of anyone in my family that has education past a 4 year degree. I guess I'll be the first? I already have the program picked out, but the deadline for spring semester is fast approaching!

So a few months back I got a new job and I just finished my first week of TRAINing. So far it isn't too bad. It's been all death by powerpoint so far, although yesterday we got outside for a little bit, which the entire class was grateful for.
As for the actual job, I can already tell I won't like it. To put it bluntly, it will be total bitch work. With that said, I'm SUPER STOKED to be doing it. Why? Because working for the railroad is going to be the shit (it also beats the 8 or so months of unemployment I just "enjoyed"). I have to put in a year in this position, but I don't mind. I figure it will be my time in the trenches. After that I'm going to start shooting for management positions, which shouldn't be too hard with my past experience and degree. On top of that, this company will help reimburse you for your college so I'm currently looking into starting my Masters, which I'm also pretty pumped about.
If this sounds like I'm bragging or anything, I apologize. I'm just really excited after my first week. This past year has been a huge bummer and I'm just excited to be working again, no matter what. Anyway, I hope you guys enjoy the train. It's not much, but I needed to do some spring cleaning on my unused keys and figured this was a good excuse. I ran out of GA slots, so stay tuned next week for another train.
There's also the MIDSUMMER MADNESS giveaway going on, so be sure to check it out and contribute!
Please bump the thread if you enter! All GAs are LVL 1.
EDIT: It seems I may have made a mistake with the Skara GA. I have a key for the $10 Starter Package, NOT the $20 key. I didn't realize there was a difference and there was only one option on SG. I have a ticket out to Support, but I think I might have to delete the GA. I apologize to anyone that entered!
EDIT 2: Alright, so I ended up deleting the Skara GA. I would like to apologize to everyone that entered. I'm definitely open to suggestions on how to make it up to the people that entered. I want to get rid of this Starter Package key somehow because I'll never use it
