MERRY CHRISTMAS 2013

Recommended Posts

I was ready to head back to Missouri to be with my wife when at the last second the main office called and told me that they want me to stay in Laredo, TX and test rail on the 23rd and 26th through the 31rst for the KCS RR. Take the 1rst off and back on the 2nd. Meanwhile, the asshats are letting me know that they are going to have the best christmas party yet and hope that everyone can join in and wish the company leaders a great christmas. Fuck them and the KCS RR. No bonuses, no christmas dinner. No nothing. This coming from a company that has went above the 100,000,000.00 mark a couple of months back. Big bonuses for those at the top. A big fuck you to those who spend more than six months at a time away from home and family. It will be near 9 months when I finally do get home. That is if they don't yank my vacation like they did all of this last year. I was able to get three days to go see my doctor early this year. been without meds for six months. Do they care? Fuck no. All that matters to those who have never spent one day out here on the rails is the almighty dollar and their six figure bonuses. I wish them nothing more than a big fuck you. Nothing merry about being stuck in a hotel in a crappy town like Laredo.

The money is good. Hoping to take some time off come summer and get my CWI certification. Having been a 6G welder and being a level II in several areas in NDT, the CWI is the bonus feather. I'll be able to take a job elsewhere. Possibly pipeline weld inspection. My brother in law is currently inspecting pipeline and has thrown me some leads. Tired of the railroad bullshit.

To All My Democratic Friends:

Please accept with no obligation, implied or implicit, my best wishes for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low-stress, non-addictive, gender-neutral celebration of the winter solstice holiday, practiced within the most enjoyable traditions of the religious persuasion of your choice, or secular practices of your choice, with respect for the religious/secular persuasion and/or traditions of others, or their choice not to practice religious or secular traditions at all.

I also wish you a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling and medically uncomplicated recognition of the onset of the generally accepted calendar year 2014, but not without due respect for the calendars of choice of other cultures whose contributions to society have helped make America great. Not to imply that America is necessarily greater than any other countries nor the only "America" in the Western Hemisphere. Also, this wish is made without regard to the race, creed, color, age, physical ability, religious faith or sexual preference of the wishes.


To My Republican Friends:

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
