I found out how some of our company officers are made!
Of course they’ll deny this, but I got it in writing!
“RCL vests have had problems when they get wet and the Velcro loosens. Do not just throw out the old vest; turn it into a company officer and get a new one.”
And after these are made into a company officer, a lot more than the Velcro becomes unglued!
(I assume that if you were turning the vests in to a company officer, you would have put a space in the middle of “into”.)
And, on that note, I’ll lay low for a couple of weeks…
Company Officers tend to either lose alot of weight, smoke like chimney and drink like Fish with a temper to match. Or they tend to GAIN alot of weight and shuttle from HQ to Dinner to Office and back, always schooling with other fish, uh, suits of like colors.
A word that issues forth from a suit is either famine or fortune for the worker (S) involved.
BC - Put the editors hat in the closet, back away from the grammer book and go have a good rest. Maybe your arms will shorten back to normal after reaching for that one…
Dear John:
I want a man who knows what love is all about. You are generous, kind, thoughtful. People who are not like you admit to being useless and inferior. You have ruined me for other men. I yearn for you. I have no feelings whatsoever when we’re apart. I can be forever happy–will you let me be yours?
Gloria

Punctuation wasn’t the problem there–spelling was! (Fortunately, most UP employees who post on this Forum know how to spell–not every railroad can claim that.)
I’ll reveal another secret today–it’s bound to come out sooner or later, anyway. The September issue of Trains has fantastic coverage of the Midwestern flooding, including map (showing events and detours), photographs, and a chronological listing of events. No, I haven’t gotten mine in the mail yet–I saw it at an out-of-the-way location in Waukesha, together with many of the culprits responsible.
It is very easy to criticize company officials when you have never been one. Become one and the job is not as easy as it appears from the ‘outside’. If you become one on your home territory your ‘friends’ will stick it to you the worst!
Balt, my post is in no way critical of the people I have to work with. Our current officers have adequate respect for me, and I follow rules and get along with them. I can vouch for what you say, as I was briefly an officer in my own territory. The person who wrote the memo, by the way, was not an officer. I have, however, had some experience with people one seriously has to wonder about–and I’ve seen these people come unglued. They either get off the job then (as I did) or are hauled off–either fired or dead (and again, I’ve seen both).
If you know me well enough, you’ll know that what I was being “critical” of was the use of the English language presented thereon. My intent was laughs, or at least smiles. And fair’s fair–if you can find something similar in anything I write here, point it out–I’ll probably laugh along with anyone else.
