Well i’m scheduled to be available to work starting friday at 10am which admittedly caught me totally off guard. My assignment is on the road from Kansas City to Jefferson City, MO. I will be on call working the extra board. Meaning I cover for when regular guys call in sick or are on vacation. This is the real deal. I will have a “pilot” on my first few trips so I know what to expect. Its basically an extra conductor who has made the trips before and maps it all out for you.
I am admittedly scared, its been 3 months since i’ve worked at the RR and I dont remember everything. Got a lot of reviewing to do. Plus I’m on my own so I’m responsible for myself and the train! Its exciting too though, cause this is my career. I am thinking though this is temporary because Summer is the busy period. After a few months i’ll likely go to the 8-day deal that i discussed previously. We’ll see!
